Give me some Torque off the line, Please
Everyone knows this by now, but our cars suck ass from 0-15mph. Is there anyway that our cars can get some more speed off the line, it almost feels like it is lagging. My car is maintained good and I have a good amount of add ons.
P.S, If one person says, "Get a 6-speed", I will track your I.P address from your computer and send a hitman after you.

Thats what I heard about getting new wheels and what is a good weight for 17 inchers. But I want to be reasonable.
I know there are some ridiculously light ones, but I dont want to drop 2K just on rims, I have other priorities besides havin a nice set of shoes on my 6 year old car...

Turning off the traction control?
If you do turn it off, your wheels may spin but you can get going faster than if your wheels start to spin with the traction control on, since it tries to stop the spinning and actually brakes...
I would suggest getting a six speed for off the line racing!!! HA, had to do it

Thats awesome Phipark, does a Unichip actually help with low end torque.
That is an affordable upgrade if the gains are there, I have read about it but it seems like the jury is still out and some people have only had gains of 4-5 horsepower.

You guys better keep an eye on your front door, I am gonna send Uma Thurmans ass after you!!!!

One more thing, what if I decided on 18inchers, even if they weighed 18lbs, thats still 8lbs per wheel less than stock.
But I heard that it matters about rotational mass and where the weight is distributed.
Would I not notice a difference from stock with 18's because of the mass being more on the outer diameter vs the stock 17's even though they are 8lbs less each.

getting light wieght wheels really helps alot. I noticed a nice increase in off the line speed with 14 lb 18"s. If you got the money RJ devotions would be an excellent choice IMO.

Well if you're serious about launches. Get a RWD car. It takes too long for any FWD car to get traction off the line etc. If you keep the CL I would go with a 3.5 buildup or an SC if need serious amounts of torque. Crank Pulley is best bang for your buck torque although it may be as much as you had hoped for.

I like all the ideas, but I hear the SC only starts to really make a difference at higher speeds. Didn't comptech make a CL and it really didnt change the 0-60 time much even with the SC...
I guess crank pulley it is.
Plus, a carbon fiber hood, can it be painted to match my paint exactly, I dont really like the carbon fiber look.

if you guys think that a CL type S is lacking in low end grunt, go drive a 1998-02 accord V6 and then come back....
