Is that cool that the sound changed or is it somethin to worry about?

1988starter · 08-12-2002, 07:27 PM

it is cool

**HondaManDan** · 08-12-2002, 07:42 PM

nice
so no worries.. that's a good thing.. would anyone strongly recomend regapping to around .05 off of .057?

1988starter · 08-12-2002, 07:44 PM

I am running .056 but I also have the MSD 6AL I would defantly day go to about .05-.054

**HondaManDan** · 08-12-2002, 07:47 PM

cool... now what's the MSD 6AL??? i've been hearing much on this.. worth getting?

1988starter · 08-12-2002, 07:53 PM

It is an ignition controll box allows for a much greater spark at low rpms I felt a nice boost after I intalled mine if you want I will take some picts tomorrow of my setup.

Here take a look at their web site

YEAH! i'd love to see what youre running for an ignition setup.. do you have a site or anything?? i'd like to see your car. you shound like you know your shit... i dunno lol, sometimes i feel like the youngest guy here.. kinda in over my head..

1988starter · 08-12-2002, 07:59 PM

I know the feeling when I was first here I didn't even know what a header was these guys helped me a lot and they are very knowlageable. For now here are some old picts. Yes I know that they are all .TXT but to get a picture from geocities to appear on this bord they have to be .TXT.. I will get some updates tomorrow.

nice car... what kind of muffler do you have? what kinda sound you get outa that thing?

1988starter · 08-12-2002, 08:05 PM

It is a dynomax superturbo muffler I love it. It has a brospeed 3 inch tip on it which is the max size I will go. As for sound pioneer speakers all around and a 160 watt system but I am not the kind who bumps I like a more classical music.

1988starter · 08-12-2002, 08:06 PM

The muffler sound is a bit loud not too bad but I have header highflow cat and 2.25 piping no resonaton.

**HondaManDan** · 08-12-2002, 08:17 PM

sweetness... yeah i dont like the bump thump music either.... im more of a punk rock, heavy rock, anger music kind of person

**HondaManDan** · 08-12-2002, 08:18 PM

but you did notice a big differance with the MSD>?

1988starter · 08-13-2002, 09:27 AM

Yea I noticed a nice difference sorry I just woke up 1:30 PM but most of all everything was smoother I am not waiting for my NGK irridium IX plugs to come in the mail.

1988starter · 08-13-2002, 05:59 PM

Well I got you some picts

the exhaust note usually changes based on the air fuel mixture and rev speed... a richer mixture at low speeds gives a deeper note.

**HondaManDan** · 08-13-2002, 09:26 PM

ok.. so.. how much does this MSD run for? i mean is it about a hundred bucks? or 50? cuz 50's nicer than 100 when ya look at it

. but what kind of differences in performance are we looking at here. i mean i know all the basic stuff with a car. i mean air and fuel mix together in the combustion chamber and durring the compression rotation of the piston a spark will ignite the fuel and air causing the piston to retract thus making "power" yadda yadda yadda... now i can understand that a guaronteed spark will be a good thing to have so you dont waste any of the air/fuel.. hence the Accel coil, the Blue Thunder wires, and the NGK plugs. now... the gap on the plugs.. the bigger the gap.. the bigger the spark right? so having a .052 gap is going to give me a marginaly bigger spark than a .o44 gap. now.. this will possibly help to ignite that fuel and air more completely correct? so how could this MDS thing help? because im already getting a bigger.. gauronteed spark... and im noticing nothing/not much at all differance in performance. now that i think of it... maybe this means my car was just a damn good car stock

. i mean it's a granny car with 95k.. it's practically new. oh well.. im always up for improvements.

1988starter · 08-13-2002, 09:30 PM

Mine was 150 used I felt a nice difference. Let me tell you a story. One day when looking at my spark only accel coil I noticed it was a little blue line. A different day whe looking at is after MSD it was a big orange lightning bolt (quote from friend "damn it is like a flame thrower.") I like it I have .057 gapped plugs and they work well.

**HondaManDan** · 08-13-2002, 09:36 PM

ok where do ya buy one? and what model is the best?

1988starter · 08-13-2002, 09:37 PM

I got one off ebay but don't forget to wach the bidding at the end because they can climb quick.. Either an MSD 6a OR 6al I think would be good LOVE my 6AL

**Mike's89AccordLX** · 08-22-2002, 01:50 PM

I want to buy a good ignition coil but I don't know much about which ones to look for and which one are good. I asked this parts store what they thought. And they told me to get a stock one. I told them I want one better than that. Then I told him to stop being lazy and look in his book for a coil for me... he hung up his phone. Bastards that don't give any respect to people with 3Geez

**Mike's89AccordLX** · 08-22-2002, 02:08 PM

I heard Accel is a good brand, but I would want one thats maybe chrome or red or something.

**Mantis88LX** · 08-22-2002, 02:25 PM

you can get a crome accel coil for like $39

i got one, there nice

check your local auto store they should have them

**Mike's89AccordLX** · 08-22-2002, 02:36 PM

Are all accel coils the same or do I have to get a specific one for my car?

1988starter · 08-22-2002, 02:41 PM
