5th place. Cool!
good time
your car looks pretty good out there on the track
Thanks guys! 5th place aint bad considering the cars I raced against.. That Z06 was NASTY lol
Thats pretty cool man, you and your civic did well!
PS I like the slight driftage and windshield wiper action. :P
Wow, you did do excellent for what you were up against! The little accidental downshift looked a little scary, and the wipers would annoy the hell out of me lol

Nice work! Car looks good out there!
Looks fun! Beat the S2k. Might want to take out
the fuse for your wipers the next time though lol.
first time? Try not to shift so much, you seemed to be focused too much on just the shifting, if it bogs down let it bog down.
I appreciate you input but have you driven a six speed? the car is very prone to understeer if the revs drop too low.. So Thanks but no thanks... And no it was not My first time..Originally Posted by rustlude87
Also that "Accidental" shift was not so.. I dropped it into second for a hairpin turn I knew it would rev to 9000 and needed to have peak torque at apex of it, once cleared I quickly went into third but I missed the gear, Third gear wont engage correctly in these if your not "confident" about it.

I'm not saying your a bad driver
And if I had a six speed car I would know, but I'm a poor college student and have some cheap prelude that I autox. I'm just giving you some tips I'm not here to say something to start shit on the internet!
I can post videos of me if you want to give me feedback

^ na man I wasnt being an ass, I was just saying you got to keep the revs up in this thing which requires a shit load of shifting esp when they have so many turns..
those damn new cars, is it too hard to heel toe some of those turns? That car looks like a bitch for hairpins
rear sway bar?
i want to try that some time.
1989 Honda Accord LX-i
B18c1 swap since 7/2011
175whp and 132tq
Redzone tuned
well my feet are kind of big so its easier to take the foot off the brake and blip the throttle for the downshift... But it's not bitch in the hairpins if you keep the revs high and keep the LSD working. Yes I have a Progress 24MM rear sway bar.
there has to be a way to get the rear end to swing around, PM me if you need any help on things for setup wise
Yeah there is, I could put an LX front sway bar on but the car already Oversteers fine bottom line is the car won't drive right if no power is put down which for any honda is in the upper rev ranges...
Not with the A20 engine... have you thought about auto xing the accord?
NO I have not even considered it. It's just too old and slow, sure it handles great but It doesn't have the power that the Si does and it will never handle as good as the Si..
you can run the accord in a lower class with slower cars!
Which would be pointless again because the accord is a gas saver.you can run the accord in a lower class with slower cars!
