wht do u guys think? this pic was taken after a uphill mountain battle. My friend's type S killed me on straight but i came back and DESTROYED him on turns mainly hairpins. Pass him and even lost him in my rear view mirror. We weren't pushing too hard cuz it was really wet and pouring (the msp had a bit understeer), so nobody really won. I got more pics if u guys want too.

nice pic...get a boost controller and you'll beat him in the straights...
 
thanx black majik! ya i'll get one soon, but unwritten law i've been hearing about the boost controller not gettin along with the reflash.
 
If he gets Hondata, it will take more than an MBC to beat him. My friend ran a 14.1 in his Type S with AEM CAI, Apexi turbo muffler, & Hondata.
 
Yeah I meant a stock RSX...You can still up the boost after the reflash, just not as much...
 
Good pic, but the photographer in me must say that it's a bit underexposed. It's most likely because you took the pic in auto mode with the headlights on. The bright headlights confuse the light meter in a camera into thinking the entire scene is brighter than is actually is. The camera then gives the scene less exposure time, making it underexposed.

If your camera has an 'exposure compensation' feature, try adding 1 stop ('+1 EV') next time.

Of course, it's only a bit underexposed, so Photoshop could fix it. I'd do it, but I'm at work, not at home.

Good pic though!! :)
 
Photo re-touched for better exposure:

supman: if you have a hi-res version of this pic and want me to touch it up for you send me a PM and I'll give you my email address. I can do a much better job than this with a higher res pic and more than 5 minutes.
 
Man I really need to get my autoexe stuff looks great, you can still use a boost controller just don't set it as high because you'll get knock, i'm staying at around 9psi until I get engine managment.
 
I've searched to no avail - can someone please provide a website, contact info, etc. on the autoexe stuff? I'm dying for the badgeless grille and front lip myself....thanks in advance!!! :D

Supman - I've PM'd you before, but never heard back from you. Please tell me how you got a hold of your front end goodies!
 
wow man! alot brighter now, cool TX speed demon! ya all send it over. Its really big though.
 
oh i don't think i received ur PM Tampa, got a Pm from phatom before about it. I got my lip and grill here in BC. I got it for $425 cdn for both lip and grill, Here is the guy's msn e-mail address "skypham@hotmail.com" his name is son. Oh its replica, and made out of fiberglass. Pretty good fit.
