Must be nice joe I am seem to have the effect of whatever I buy needs constant attention but then again mine is high mileage and I seem to only be fixing stuff that prior mechanics frigged up. The mystery leak was from them using the wrong o-ring when they did the water pump. I had the exhaust manifold out because THEY broke an exhaust stud. Come to think of it I really have not had to do any serious broken parts repairs yet. BUt dont get me wrong I still love the car its a hoot to drive and could also be ALOT harder to work on.

 

:confused: No offense but if you can just keep up with(not beat) some Mustangs then youre racing the wrong Hondas. I know plenty of Hondas that will smack down Mustangs all day long. With AWD you should be doing the same. BTW I saw your car at the spot and I like it. Very clean car.

 

OK lets see. My 2 cents on the matter.

As for my 60 times. I ran on cheap/stock Goodyear RS-As (H rated I think it doesnt have a V or a Z infront of the R) and I was cutting alot of 1.6s. If 12s are your thing Big 16G turbo is good enough and you can still do AutoX. I have a small 16g and it isnt ported or clipped. You dont need to weld the center diff for mid 12s. When you get your 60s down low enough you might want to think about it. Make sure you get and AWD with an LSD in it. These cars are not as reliable as a Honda except turbo hondas well the ones Ive seen anyways. Sorry to say that but it is true. They are not a POS either but things will go wrong time to time. You need to know how to work on a car or want to learn how because they make alot of power to move their heavy asses and they can break down spring a leak etc. But that is the fun of things knowing that you can fix your car.

 

To eventually hit about 12.0 what should be my goal hp?? 400? more?
