In what, a YUGO?

On foot?

A motorhome?

Tell me you were on a Razor scooter?

You had to give someone a piggyback ride, right?


No way you ran 17's in a CL, I just won't believe that nonsense!!!

Damn 3600 its time to start thinking of ways to drop the weight. Sand the engine bay till theres not a spec of paint left, remove the rubber from your battery tie down, in fact through the tie down out use zip ties,

Actually I do have a practical suggestion you have an intake right, well remember that snorkel looking intake that fed into a hose in the fender which fed into the air box. Well you can go back and delete that hose and any nuts, bolts, washers that might be in there. I think you have to take the bumper off but anything to get under 17 right.

originally i bought the car for IASCA comps but never completed the stereo install for comps. its sounds amazing but i'd never win. so now i'm gonna gut it and drop in an h22. theres a guy on ebay who lives in va beach like me and selling his h22 and turbo. shipping would be free. check it out on ebay. wanna buy my stereo?

I have a 1998 2.3 5spd with CAI, exaust and denso spark plugs. How much of a difference do you guys think headers and pullies will make? I also live in hawaii and i heard the track was slower than others. I think some guys from the TL board can attest to that. O well...

Blacura- I got your PM and now you have one

7.2? That is about what I run with my 2.2. Bu that was with a bad clutch. Recently I ran a 16.542 at KCIR, but that was only once. I ahve heard that people are running low 16's with the 2.2 with just an intake, I know I may be a bad driver but I can't be that nbad, can I?

Aliright i swear i'm not a bad driver. I'm actually a good one, thank you very much. I ran that time with a quarter tank and a system. Doesn't make that much difference but the time still sucks.

All of my buddies drive civic si's that run very low 15's and I always hang with them. They only beat me by about 2 or 3 carlengths at worst. On a 70 punch we got all the way to 135 and I was right there with them. Im taking my car to the track next time they go and Im gonna see what I can do. There was a saturn with some mods intake/exhaust said he ran a 17 flat and they wouldnt let me race him cause they said id bust his ass too bad. theyve all driven my car and are very jealous of the 3.0 liter V6

the Request of mods.

Exhaust, intake, headers, venom 400, fuel pressure regulator, removed interior, removed spair tire as well as anything else I could get my hands on, to take out including my headlight. Removed power steering belt (dropped me .4)......very surprising, as well as some cool weather and it can be done.

I have my Zex kit, vafc, and ignition system all in the mail Ill post new times after install and a trip to the track probably mid aug. I cant wait. Big Purchace week. this week
