What clutch is on the car? If your overthrowing the pressure plate it can cause that issue

It's a Comp. Twin disc

The OEM oil pan doesn't have any traps inside. So, when you let off the gas, push in the clutch, or hit the brakes, the oil is going to slosh forward (away from the pickup tube). Get a better pan that's designed for what you're doing.

Also, you should have a clutch pedal stop with that clutch to prevent the RPM's from dropping. Fix it before you trash you're thrust bearings in the engine.

The car doesn't idle even in neutral when its fully warmed up. I just talked to Steve and from the information I gave to him he said it sounds like the (OMNI 70M that I've read are known to stick) Throttle body may be sticking and fully closing when my foot is off the gas pedal and causing the RPM's to drop so far down its causing the battery light to come on also. He suggested I play with the screw to hopefully get it to idle and (fingers crossed) get rid of my issue

It's possible. Can you view the logs or live data? Good luck with troubleshooting.

DA 4 Lyfe

Welp, its fixed. (knock on wood) The throttle body needed to be cleaned out and the idle screw needed to be adjusted. Drove the car for awhile and no longer having this issue. Hopefully it was just that. Fingers crossed.

Aside all of this does anyone know what's needed to get my 9 second NHRA license? I got the boot for "going to fast" when I was only trapping 139mph. The track guys told me anything faster then a 135mph or 9.99 is when I need the license. What are the steps in getting this? I have been told so many different things and I am still unsure at this point

Download the forms from NHRA, print them, bring to your doctor for a physical, bring paperwork to the track, do 6 passes, and you're done. LVD is very supportive of this. Just make sure they know ahead of time that you are doing license passes (call ahead and inform them of your intentions). They need to have your paperwork in hand. Then mail in your paperwork to NHRA region and you're golden. That's how I did mine at LVD.

Also, you need to read the rule book and have ALL of your safety gear for running 9.99 or 135mph. Otherwise they won't sign for you. That's the chute, scatter shield, helmet, suit, cage, etc. They are pretty strict when it comes to licensing.

Good luck

If I don't run a 9.99 but I trap 135 or faster does that still count for a 9 second LIC? I really don't want a chute made for the car if I don't need one

tepid1

Yes it does. The key word is OR. 9.99 OR 135+.

I called Lebanon valley today and they told me I have to make at least two 9 second passes. "Have to go 9s"

blackeg

lol the bald guy at tech just hates hondas.

good info tepid, i didnt know you needed it above 135mph

DA 4 Lyfe

He tottaly hates Hondas lol. I'm going to call back today and ask to speak with the track manager

Tippyman

I read 150/9.99 in the rulebook.

Where does it say 135?

It's 150 not 135.

DA 4 Lyfe

I'm going to call and talk to the track manager at Lebanon valley tomorrow and get to the bottom of this. Several people that work at the track told me 2 different things

DA 4 Lyfe

My car at the track last Wednesday. Full weight/interior street car that I always drive to the track and home

DA 4 Lyfe

Next Wednesday I plan on making ONLY 1/8 mile passes since the track is giving me a hard time without the NHRA LIC. I would like to see 6.7-6.8 around 112-114mph. I'm going turn up the boost from 11psi with -3 degrees timing taken out (only in 1st gear) to 15psi and adding the 3 degrees back into 1st gear, 2nd I'm looking for 25-27 and 3rd around 30psi. I'm pretty sure the car should hook with that much power seeing as theses tires only have 4 passes on them.

Suspension setup:

Wheels + Supsension:
K-Sport Full Coilovers with 12K Front & 18K Rear Springs

Yea id say shut it down after the short track then when you feel good about it make a full pass and call it a night. Thats bullshit theyre saying you need a 9 sec license @135.....

DA 4 Lyfe

It's a pain in the *** but I do understand they have to follow NHRA rules. I have to just get the safety equipment and take it from there. I have heard from a ton of other people that other tracks don't give them this issue

Took the car out to my local dragway to compete in the Import face-off event yesterday and was number 1 qualifier. I drove that bitch to the track AND drove it home! I also brought the cash, and the trophy home with me! Won it with a new personal best of a 10.47 @ 140mph!

The slip:

60- 1.664
330- 4624
660- 6.909
MPH1- 106.60
1000- 8.859
1320- 10.477
MPH2- 140.77

Nice work. One of the best parts is being able to drive there and back.

Very nice! Buckle that bad boy in the front seat and drive home with the slicks in the trunk.

DA 4 Lyfe

It's what I have always wanted in a car. In a couple weeks I'm going back to the track to try and get the E.T down a bit more. The car has more left in it the way she sits. #streetcar
