There was expectation that we would be in the 12's. 13 was a schocker and a mistake.
I can't really blame him, just as I can't blame myself. This was a teaching and experimental project. And considering that the engine is running very smoothly, with no leaks, codes, etc. I think we did pretty well.
Granted the compression is high, it will take care and maintenance, especially in the Florida heat. I think it is a good challenge and learning experience for me.
My cars are brats, I am really use to them wanting special things
Plus now I can go get the Prelude I want as my daily driver
although this one was supposed to be. Live and learn.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
