Im not trying to start an arugment here but I think your way off with the whole "no feeling" part about the track. Its all about feeling when your making power like Orion is. Or anyone with a seveerly modified over powered street car. I do agree that when I drove my stock ls teg it was way easier to be consistent and not have to do alot of thinking or "feeling". But as soon as I sprayed the car everything I thought I previously knew went out the window. I went from 10 flats without the spray to a 12 second pass on the spray. Why you ask???? Cause driving any form of FI takes alot of finesse and pedal control. Most of the outcome of the race is determined in your 60ft's. If you can launch your car the rest is cake.

Coupled with the FWD platform, it takes alot of thought and control to get a good launch. Even after i modded my car i ran times pretty close to stock because it was hard to regulate all the power. No psi control per gear makes it really hard for me to control all the spinning. I feel like im literally spinning half way down the track. Traction comes depending on track prep top of second or bottom of third. Fuck FWD lol . But hey im still learning

well i want to go the next time they're running on sunday's. i just hate going up by myself. so hopefully some other guys/gals i know on here will be there.

and not to thread jack.....what ever happened to the b16 vs the eclipse?

it wasnt even really a race lol, from what i read anyways.

ill be at the the track on sunday to spectate

You should run my Neon @ Holt, I'll be the silver one with the orange & and blue stuff coming out the side. fire, fire, fire

yeah he must not be running any srt-4's worth a shit.. by buddy back home ran 117 MPH traps on his stock turbo in the 1/4...... i very rarley see that out of hondas.......

i dont have anything against hondas.... a close friend of mine has a 9 sec crx so i know they can be fast... but its very rare to actually find a fast honda on the streets...

ummmm yeaaaaa riiiiiight

i second that.......

mines is fast ( i think). but i'm not too much into the street racing thing. if someone messes with me long enough i'll unleash the beast. but not through traffic and the like. not worth getting in trouble. or causing a wreck. although my little one does instigate sometimes for me to go faster.

were gonna find out tomorrow right

for the love of God i hope so. quick question for which i probably already know the answer to but would like second opinion.........13" or 17's.....i'm thinkin 13's probably on 20 psi. it's quick with the 17's but i think she'll fly with the steelies.

lighter = better

that's what i figured .....then i won't waste my time with trying the 17's and swapping over. i'll just swap em out in the morning before i leave. thanx

the rims I race on came on my crx and there some el cheapo bobos rims but there 6 lbs lighter than my 16in Motegis.

before i got the white ones i'm rollin on, i checked into some trak lites but they were too expensive for my poor ass. i got the white ones for free and paid 160 for 4 tires. i'm a man on a budget. steelies should serve the purpose. i'll probably shred em cause there isn't much tread left, there's enough for them to pass inspection though.

its true....ive been here since january and havnt seen one really fast honda.... ive seen a few quick ones but nothing that i consider fast....

youve, just been looking in the wrong places lol.

and why do i keep reading about a minime vtech being fast in everythread i go to lols.

i'm like a ninja......i'm everywhere....and it's not a minime dammit.

its a minime to me lols, ive only seen to D series in my day that impress me. so im sorry if it takes me a while to come around.

what is this minime?

its fast honda talk, you wouldnt understand lols.

a mini-me is a d-series motor equivalent to an ls/vtec swap...

you take a non-vtec motor , swap the head for a vtec head and voila a mini-me. on a b series you take a non-vtec and swap the head for a vtec head and voila you have a frankenstein. i.e. ls block , si head.

where as i swapped in an entire vtec motor, instead of just swapping the head.

hope that clarifies a little bit for you.
