Shit happens and last-minute-back-outs exist. I just want to get this thing going solid.
Does anyone object to me offering "Non-Acura" to this dyno group?
I think buddy (BadAss IS-F) /and his friends will be interested.

anyone and everyone is welcomed.. tell all your friends about it.. front, rear, all wheel drive, doesnt matter.. they can dyno any car... the more cars the better
They're really excited to get hondas out there, they really want to get into make parts for Hondas/acuras.. Maybe we can talk to them about getting parts made for our cars They mostly work with subarus, evos, and shit...

i have driven one before at the SEMA convention before, and to tell you the truth, it did not seem that fast to me (maybe cause they let me drive it, and it was on a closed course)(but i did make the safty guy that rode with me, perk up some when i started to accelerate in some s-turns they set up, to try and make people slow down ), but i think they are a little overweight, which soaks up alot of their power

you mean manual, but anyways that is at the crank not the wheels, so 220 (at the wheels) sounds about right if we were at sea level, but we're not so i think most people will be under 200 (but will proably be over 200 when the SAE correction factor is taken into account)

also i don't like that 8-speed tranny ethier, just too many gears
i know some people will say more gears are better, but the last couple of gears just seem a little too closely spaced together, mainly to help maximise it's fuel economy [kinda like how are 4th and 5th gears are not seperated by that much]
also just imagine the repair costs when that tranny craps out, big time $$$
also curb weight is actually like 3780, so closer to 3800 pounds

also i think it could use a lower gear ratio (higher numically) in the back end too, that would help quite a bit too with getting it going (they say it can supposeadly [sp?] get over 200 mph (idk if that is mathamatically or if it would actually have enough power to get over 200)
i think something like a 3.5 rear end would proably make it quite good (stock is like 2.9)

Haa haa, look at our dyno thread?
Anyways, I agree the car isn't my dream car but it's still one mother fucking bad ass vehicle. As I'd hope it should be with a 58K starting MSRP.

Hey Matt and 7th hopping u guys can chime in and help me out. My cruise Control doesnt seem to be workin, Cruise button is on(little button nxt to VSA) but when i press the other button on steerin wheel it wont engage. Dealer Said its most likely a loose cable on TB. Is this something i could check out myself? And would it be hard to adjust/ reattach cable? Are the BS me? do a lot of highway driving and goin down I270 there is a shit load of cops (have a heavy foot)> Thanks in advance guys. Also all other guys feel free to chime.

Possible bad wheel speed sensor. I have that problem on the occassion. If you have a bad wheel speed sensor, it doesn't let you set cruise control. You can turn it on, but you won't be able set it. I would get your ABS/VSA scanned.
