Well...It's finally "complete". It still needs some fine tuning and I'm still playing around to see which spark plugs go along better with the system. I haven't unleashed its full potential because I am currently just about clutchless... Can barely get my gears in at low RPM's and I still need that to last at least 3-4 more weeks untill I get my new Spec stg 3 clutch and Fidanza FW. So far I got 232 at 7psi and 14.5 at the track at 99.98 mph. But that was being very conservative on the launch so...We'll see once it's completely tuned and clucth is in.

Anyways, here's a tease...Go to the Cardomain page to see the rest of the pics. (Sorry I'm lazy) ;-)

I know...They weigh a ton! 22 lbs I believe...Not to mention they are 18...I know this, but this is just preliminary. I don't have any other wheels right now but I'm trying to get my hands on some 16's just for the track. We'll c.

LOL...Actually, that was a very nice Honda s2000 that was doing around 12.4 but he let of the gas and actually stepped on the breaks half way thru...not sure why. I was really racing him...that was actually my very first pass. My clutch went out after that.

whoa whoa jumping to conclusions are we? did you look at my posts? i never mentioned his car, i only mentioned the car that had the 52.81 trap speed which wasn't his car. when i made the automatic civic joke i was making fun of the 52.81 trap speed car. don't be so quick to jump to conclusions.

Sorry guy....Didn't realize that. ;-) My apologies. That time was actually from a very nice s2000 that was running in the mid 12's, but he stepped on the breaks half way thru the track. I think he's best et was 12.4

yes, yes it is. oh btw very nice car. one last question isn't 116 in a 40 enough to have your license revoked?

It should be...But, I actually took it to court and won. ;-) Long story to type here. ;-)

As for the rims...they will come when cash flows again...Right now is not a priority since they look good to me. ;-)

what was it a speed trap??

xenon929
09-06-2005, 07:33 PM

No....But I was racing and the guy I was racing was in front...So my argument was that he couldn't possibly give us both a ticket for the same speed since his radar could not detect both velocities of both vehicles at the same time. Loosing the race helped me out! ;-)
