The key is getting in and out quickly. Yes, it's chaotic, but it's also smart.

If you ever watch stunt videos, you'll often see them blocking off the freeway with 100+ bikes while the bikes in the front stunt. Same concept with street racing in big cities like that. You go in organized with a plan, and typically no one gets hurt or in trouble. It's illegal, but it's certainly better than racing from redlight to redlight on a high traffic road somewhere. Although it's dangerous to stop traffic behind them, at least they're not running with the potential of hitting other cars in the process.

honestly though,i was kind of put off by how little they knew about Honda stuff in general(after i was told by several people that they're the most knowledgable around here on import work).i ended up sending the H22 block to Golden Eagle in California-it costs a little more,but they definitely know what they're doing.

any machine shop should be able to do a simple overbore.for more complicated work,i'd send it to a shop that specializes in DSM stuff.

i've shipped several blocks through Fedex.around $70 for a 90-95lb package to the West Coast.

At least im being somewhat creative, I didnt want to be a poser altogether and chose the same color - although I did manage to pick the same vinyl kit/design.


Anyways,
You've proved my point - I haven't seen the movie enough to remember the colors of the cars, thats for sure!

At the start of the movie that is what they are doing is blocking off the roads for the race with detour signs and cones.
