[QUOTE=EricL]I think he's still running SSR Comps.

http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showt...SR#post1731059

A set of bling-bling "drive-around" 19s would ne pretty sweet with some very light 17s for strip use...

[QUOTE]

That's probably what I'll do. I would think that I could just buy 2 lightweight wheels and put DR's on them. I've seen alot of imports do this at the track. I doubt changing the rear wheels would have a profound impact on my times. Anyone know of the cheapest lightweight rims I can buy...even those black hubcap-looking things?

That cooler Seattle air probably helped !!

Do you have the HBP ?

I guess the best times would be on a nice cool evening with SC, HBP, Full Exhaust, Good Octane and Lightweight wheels

I do have the HBP, but maybe the Seattle air has something to do with it and also the fact that he has 2 doors less. I wonder if that is really significant?

Not yet. I've been meaning to, but I'm not sure it'll give me any useful information. That money could be put towards new lightweight wheels or a B-pipe...

Not sure I fully understand your statement. I mean, come on, any car on the road can get over 100mph eventually...but can you get to >100mph in less than 1/4 mile???

I don't think I understand RyanG007's comment either. Crack does terrible things to the mind and perception.

I think we saw 110-115 back from Cannon Beach last month but that sure didn't qualify for a 1/4 mile time or trap speed.

Hmmm, that might work. I haven't been wanting to sell them because I just don't want to deal w/ shipping. But don't you already have those Ace 18's?
