Hey DSM family, i need your advice. I have a 96 eclipse rs, i have a stage 1 hahn race craft turbo, but it's not tuned yet. I've been challenged by a 2000 civic ex, he has the basic bolt on: exhaust, headers, cold air intake, TB, & cam gear. I have also been called out by a 67+ vw bug!, this guy dropped a dual carb engine in it of that year, now i only have the turbo and nothing else. Would I be able to take these two? i also have big problems with my take offs, i dont know what you guys mean by "slip the clutch or dump the clutch" any advice please would help

you'll beat them both.. possibly even if you were stock. don't try to go for that 'awesome' launch.. just take it off the line at a decent rate with no wheel spin and let your HP win for you.
and teh VW beetle.. if all he's got is a twin carb upgrade and nothing else.. you should dust him. but if it's a hopped up dual carb 1800 motor or something, he could smoke ya.

I'm going to say tune your car and you'll beat both. I'm a stage oner (only for a couple more months) as well but I've also got a full 3" cat-back and am within tuning specs. I would be very confident pulling up to either of them. From my experience those cars aren't anywhere close to the level of a boosted 420A. Go after some Preludes or Tegs.

about the civic, my friend has a 2000 civic EX, and my car is bone stock performance wise adn automatic and i beat him, but 1-2 car lengths and his car was stick...all he had was exhaust and intake though so with more mods u would have to consult someone with more shit i mean civic knowledge
