5sfe tranny on a 3sget motor and u smoked those cars? wow, must be rebuilt pretty good.... I thought it was all stock... I said about $600 range because you can easily find a salvage or a pretty beat up mk2 between $1000 to $2000 and thats for the whole car. Know where i'm getting at?
![]() But yeah man.. good luck. I'm pretty sure its a good tranny. |

really? u sure those guys are not playin you or just dont have the guts to go in and out of their lane? How many miles on your 2? My car is at 210K miles and very much taken care off. Previous owner had the tranny rebuilt and other things done which is one of the reason why I bought it 4 years ago.
I floored it head to head against a an integra (before the 94+ model) so its probably 88-92 integra. Its almost dead even at aroun 110MPH and the integra was still pulling away from me. Kinda hard to believe you beat a 350z and a camaro. My brother owned an RX7 turbo II as well and can easily keep up with a 5.0 saleen mustang.... No offense man but i'm thinking to my head you are bullshittin hehehehehe... I'm old enough and had a lot of experience in this type of things ![]() |

for me it wasn't really a street race... I was minding my own business and here's an integra zooming by.... Before he got close I thought I floor it just to see how much juice my car still have for its age. As the integra was catching up, we were almost dead even at 110mph then he was still pulling away and my speed was barely moving up 110,111,112,113.....mph. Well when I saw him pulled away not that far I just let it go and figured that was it.... This was late at night like 11pm maybe and happened in a matter of maybe 20sec. Yeah that quick.. remember it was already moving so dont get any ideas that I can go 130+mph in 20sec. ..... Yeah its just one of those thing... I'm sure you do it every now and then.... ![]() |

How is that messed up, it's the truth ![]() I've taken my mr2 almost more times then you could count on your hands road racing, and only a few of them were when I was turbo. The 5sfe is simply extremely underpowered. You're probably pushing 90-100whp (on a stock 5s), that motor truly shines in tight, technical tracks with very few, small straights, or autocrossing. It's not a bad thing, I love the 5sfe and miss mine dearly. |

Thats a pretty long race. I was talking about the encounter I had. It was a moving start on the freeway already running like 60-70mph as I saw the integra on my rear view mirror speeding up then I floored it.
