Didnt see the yellow hatch there, did you guys make it?


I did come by and take a peak at the blue hatchy with the chute. did you all end up running the time you were lookin for?

I ended up pulling a 13.7 @ 98ish... Full weight EK Coupe with an intake and header on a stock LS/Vtec. need more seat time to get my 60fts down in this car. the 13.7 came on a 1.98 short time with a best of 1.8 on the day... Not bad for a car that i paid $2000 for and did nothing more than bolt a set of 22s onto

The CRX was running like garbage, as usual, something is always wrong with it. Yesterday happened to be something drawing way too much power from the battery combined with an alternator problem that was keeping the car from running for more than 30 seconds at a time...

Couple pics from the day

Kinda sad when you need a big set of slicks to run 13's.

Given the weight, its not bad. EK's are heavy as crap, with slicks its pretty good. 2600ish lbs most likely.

MIR is done for the season.

Those are hardly BIG slicks at 22 inches, but yes, i did need them to run 13s. i'm cool with that, it was a pretty fun day. like i said...with a few more passes to get used to it, i coulda squeezed a 13.5 out of it. Sunday was no more than a baseline to see what it had AS IS. More than anything else, i was glad i could drive there, let go of the clutch from 7500 rpms, not break anything, and make the drive home getting 35 miles to the gallon.

Keeping in mind it's full weight and probably doesnt make more than 165whp i think it does more than what you'd expect from a $2000 car.
