Agreed and the excuses of I just spin blah blah. Hows about both of you guys get some slicks by the next TR track day on Jan 8th and settle this debate.

 

Ill try my best I should have the car back up and running, Slicks are the question but hopefully Ill have them by then too.

 

Ill stick to DOT street tires... And Alberto, since when did I ever make it sound like I said I had EVER run anything higher then what I have run??? Only thing I have ever said is that I know what my car is capable of... Never claimed to run anything faster than I did... Until yesterday, I was 13.4@114.6 on 16psi, now, its 13.2@108.XX on 10psi... Im getting better driving, and the traction wasnt too bad once I started riverdancing on the throttle

What can I say??? Im not making excuses, just stating truths...
To be completely honest, my car never saw over 15psi at the track, and I will admit, the times got slower when I turned up the boost, just as Ron said they would, so it was back to 10-11 psi I went, and the times dropped back down... I was scared to run high boost due to a nearly 30psi (29.3psi which Alpha and Roncan both verify...) spike that actually held through 2 gears on my little "closed course" test run...

Point in case is I make no excuses, I state facts, that is all... Believe what you want... Ask anyone who actually has heard someone ask me what my car runs, and they will all say the same thing... I run low 13's

Just please Alberto, for your own sake, dont bring up our last run and how I "only" put about 2 cars on you by 120... Id hate to have to mention the fact I was on the Continentals, and spun straight through third into fourth... Thats why I said I wouldnt post it... But you insist on bringing it up, so I can no longer bite my tongue.... I admit, you are a pretty cool guy in person, but some of the things you say on here really make me second guess myself on saying that....

Just wait til you get your car fixed, and we'll go tires for tires... I'll be on my M&H DOT's

Stop, Roll, Reverse, Whatever..... That is all

 

And IMHO building a forced induction Honda from nothing is not easy Allot of small problems and big problems along the way.

 

amen to that!!!!!

 

Props to all those running good/great times.

 

If i didnt see that with my own eyes i wouldnt believe it. I still cant believe your car runs after that.

 

Im amazed myself... I dont know what came over me... It just felt cool so I just kinda gritted my teeth, stayed in it and hoped it didnt pop.... Pretty amazing... After that last loud ass backfire i thought it was over... but oil pressure looked fine and it was still running great... Maybe Im crazy, but I think I just have alot of faith in what I have... I think Collin built me a great motor, although it is a freak, and I really trust Dave's tuning abilities, so Im sure it was pulling timing and dumping alot of fuel at that boost level... 2 main factors why I drove it home if you ask me...

 

i think you should let me drive the car.............on my BFGs and i will show you a nice mid 12 in that thing.

60-1ek can vouch, i can drive it if it will let me.

not to include not having 2nd gears

 

I'll let you drive it, under one condition....



If you break it, you have to at least help fix it

Just remember, with the solid motor mounts, it puts all the power to the ground, all at once... instantly... There is now way around it, if you dont slip the clutch, it WILL break....
