Nobody really knows what I am running this year now do they? Still rockin the HBP too....no issues whatsoever.

I typically dont post my times as sometimes it can work against you. When the money flies before the race....its a bitch when they know your personal best right out of the box and you are judging strictly on build specs. You see...the smart folks do their research before they bet...and sites like this can be a dead giveaway.

Very true, I've had locals track me down from the internet and knew what I ran from my posts. That's why I don't post times even though I don't race much anymore, in fact, it's usually a random Civic revving on me when they hear the BOV. Anything I have on the internet is most likely yesterday's info.

Hey guys , has anyone in here used the spacer to put nitrous on a supercharged engine . Just for the sake of cooling the intake charge ? If I remember right Gale banks did that a few years ago on a Bonneville car , but his had 2 or 4 turbos on it .

I stopped by Lovefab Inc on my way to Traverse City Michigan. Cody the owner is looking for a 3rd gen to fab a turbo for. Said he'd do it for cost to the first TL-S owner. Check out his NSX on youtube. He had about 5 in his drive and they looked hot. I just don't know if I'm ready to void my warranty yet.

C35A from a 96-04 Acura RL. Someone on the first gen forum has done it already. Your pretty limited in options though on the older TLs. I'd just go for a VIP look and call it a day.

My friend's parents just got one, when we drove it, it didn't like keeping all four planted. I don't know if it was his driving, but for a rear wheel drive, there was a lot of fish tailing.. (BTW it was on a track, not the streets)

sounds like ur friends parents dont know how to drive. any rear wheel drive with a lot of hp will fishtail if you stomp the gas at the wrong time. i use to work at a mercedes dealership and mercedes has the best traction control system out there but you better believe i could get those bitches fishtailing. especially the amg's
