Come out and see. This is the perfect time to see times, because you can get the performance itch and stock up parts all winter. lol

My best runs came on friday night.

Ran 14.49 on my first run of the night, but managed a 14.39 towards the end of the night. Couldn't believe that i gained over half a second due to wheels and cat-back. Figure the cool weather had a factor too.

Saturday night just sucked, way to crowded. Only got in 4 slow runs the whole night, compaired to the 8 runs i got in on Friday

Think ill be done for this season, figure i cant get anymore out of it without more performance mods.

Thanks man,

Yea i was happy with my 14.3, then on Saturday i couldnt break 14.5, no clue why...

I do want to do more performance mods, but that normally leads to trouble. I may end up doing Pre-Cat Deletes, Jpipe, Race Cat, and Pulleys. That should get me down into the high 13's. My goal for this coming season is to go to HIN Seattle.

Im thinking a 07-08 Type-S front end swap is in order. So i may put performance on hold.

14.3 is really good time. wonder how fast mine will go with intake, jpipe, racepipe, pulley, and tb spacer. pretty soon i'll get precat delete too. but bit worried about possibility of extra heat without the heatshields.

btw i say no to typeS conversion. 04/06 aspec lip looks much better with accord fogs.

With the numbers that Blackura makes with those mods, id quess you would be mid 13's depending on traction.

Id guess with pre-cats/jpipe/highflow cat id be high 13's and right at 100mph.

Idk, i kinda like the Type-S front. And it would almost be cheaper than having mine re-painted (rock chips, and the gray part of ASPEC lip). Even though the accord fogs look good, they still arent OEM...so idk we will see.

kpro most likely with a rsx wire harness or something.. but cant use it on a TSX yet since we have more gadgets to mess with heheh.. im kickin myself too cause the rumor mill is stating they are gonna do a reflash for the 05 auto and i had to fork over about 900 to get mine done with the 04 ECU and put it in my car.. who knows maybe hondata will get the new TLs in the mix too wouldnt that be nice? make me think about getting a type S thats for sure

i pm'd richie and precats are available for 250 shipped. so cheap for what it gains.

hondata ditched 05 auto guys after years of waiting. whenever 05AT guys asked about the progress on the reflash, they said its work in progress. now after 3 years, they stated "05 AT not available"

Damn that is cheap. Let me know if/when youre gonna do this, ill get a set too and split shipping with ya. Save some moneyzzzz



So last night i was driving home from work and watch what looked like a 4-5in "L" bracket go under a semi-trucks tire and start coming right at me. No time to try and avoid it, and it hit me on the fly.

Luckily it was about 3-4inches below my head light and just so happend to be painted white . Only thing it did was give me a off white smudge and a couple little gouges that didnt chip paint. Hopefully i can buff out the paint.

Accuratien has that front bumper on his car. Looks tacky unless you have a intercooler behind it like he does.

Ive been kicking around just repainting mine and possibly going molded as well.
We will see, im still fighting over the depreciated value of my car from being rear-ended.

Where was this at? And what kind of wheels? Only Modded Silver TL-S in this region that i know of is a guy in Vancouver that has staggered VS-TX on his.

I think the biggest hold up with our cars getting the Kpro is the DBW, gauges, and vsa. However; when people swap the K24 into their cars (like an RSX) they run cable throttle body and I believe that allows them to run the KPRO..... There is probably more to it than that.
