Redline Drags I had placed the order for My engine and rest of the parts with Phil, as this was happening Redline 2 2010, drag event was coming up in Greater Noida, With the event scene here in North India very limted, this was probably the only Drag event we have here.
I had the NOS Kit I which I had installed on my civic lieing spare with me, I asked what can we do with the kit on this City. Phil had a evil grin and told me to drop the car. Since I had everything with me, I thought it was no harm in giving this a try. Dropped the car with phil, Dropped the bottle for refilling, and I got busy in the preparations of the event, I was also involved in event.
Since it was a two day event, after finishing day one I rushed to phils workshop to pick the car up. As I reach, I see the car parked in one corner, I saw everything like it was when I dropped the car, I remember in my civic, The bottle was mounted after removing the passenger seat, but here I could see all four seats in place, asked Phil where is the bottle, He told me open the boot, opened the boot and saw it nicely placed hiding away from the attention. Nobody could make out anything as everything was stock, only 15" rims on it.
Anyways he takes me out for a drive, as soon as we hit the road, we wait for the road to clear up, Phil takes a launch and after hitting 4000 RPM, hits NOS button, I could not believe my eyes, the engine note changed and there was wheel spin all the way till the rev limit, changed into second violent wheel spin and in notime we were hitting the rev limit again. IT was crazy, Phil told me one thing " Launch properly You will win tomorrow ". When I asked him the shot, he smiled as said thats none of your convern.
The next day at the event, The Car taken on A accord with HEaders and intake and defeats it with almost 3 car lengths, beats a remapped 320D, in the end of the day is the fastest car on the track, comes back undefeated. So much already and I am on the stock engine only. This was getting exciting even before things had started.
