Steve... tell me what you want me to check exactly? I wanna do that tomorrow.

Good luck, I barely got into the 2.2's and I had drag radials.

My best on stock tires was 2.306, but average was like 2.35.

I got a few 2.1's @ 60' with ES100 235/40/18. But I have to do a big burnout like I didn't want the rubber on my tires.

Quit granny shifting and drive the car like you hate it! Redlining is one thing but if you take over .5 sec to shift your going screw up your time and trap speed.

Get down on it!

okay, it was my first time there but that's quite slow... seems slow especially at launch... at how many rpm's do you get your best launch???

Yeah but you have an auto dont you? Try doing that in a stock suspension'd 6 speed and you'll get so much wheelhop its impossible to do.

Went to the dealer this morning... they actually didn't know a thing about the actuator so I explained, showed pics that I brought with the actuator closed and open.

The mechanic told me that maybe it only opens when in gear... I said no. They finally checked on another type-s and finally admitted that mine was broken.

So they ordered a new one. Can't wait to try it on the track to see the difference. Thanks mrsteve!!!!!!!!!

My best time with the actuator broken was 15.205 at 91.856

I will be so happy to be in the 14s

Glad to see they are replacing it.

Hope you didn't tell them you found out because your times at the track were too slow!

That’s unbelievable. How clueless could they be?

I wonder how many people who don't know about this board or the actuator in general are driving around in a CL-SP?

Glad to hear you got yours taken care of.
