Damn. Not gonna max that one out lol

 

i dont think so either. unless i wanted to build an outlaw car like miller or tony1. but thats not gonna happen.

 

Im getting a ride along. Holla.

On another note, got to start training a little harder. Going to sign up for Naga Great Lakes this year. Nov 5th is the competition. For those of you that dont know, I fight/train mma....jiu jitsu mainly.

Naga is a nationally ranked jiu jitsu competition so lets see how I do. I train independantly since my gym disbanded, so Im going to ask another gym about training with them until the competition starts.

 

david banner your most def gonna get a ride along. lol.....i am shitting a brick about my first pass in it. im really leaning torward pulling all the way thru maybe 3rd just so i can get the feel of it. i never have launched on slicks sooo that should be an experience of its own right. by then i'll have a go pro and they will be a video of me screaming like a high school boy that just touched ***** for the first time. hahahahaaaa im sure of it. im pumped.

man i really want to grapple again. i keep meaning to hit up my old high school coach to see about helping during christmas break and what not. i miss wrestling. i cant wait for my boy to be old enough! Good luck david and i mean that. train your *** off!

 

I wanted to do mma but I don't want to register my hands.

I like using them too much ill get in trouble

 

Looking forward to meeting you whenever I get out to cali.

Thanks for the good luck wish bro. I was going to do it last year but I got injured due to an mma fight. A few of my teammates went and competed. My coach said I would of done quite well and possible win my division.

Car wise, looking to mount my tires this week sometime and paint the lip/sideskirts on the integra. Civic wise, still debating on what to do. Saving money for whatever I do decide to get regardless.

 

I can't wait to hear the butt dyno results for the down-force difference between the oem spoiler versus the "Spoon" spoiler. :facepalm:

 

I heard all he has to do is blow on it and he'll know, but he didn't have time after bleeding them brakes all night

 

Haha. I mean the flow is certainly more effective if you factor out the chassis to spoiler gap of both. One is 1 smooth piece and the other is a 2 piece with sticking out edges. I don't track my car yet so theres no basis of comparison to feel a difference. For sure it will stabilize the rear end in high speed cornering a slight amount even if I can't feel it. Spoon has more drag than the OEM even with mine having edges sticking out (plastic is a bit out of line of where it should be) but its more effective from a drag to downforce ratio. I don't want to get into it because discussing aerodynamics is knowledge/experience based but yeah. The flow through it is less turbulent but in the big picture for low drag you don't want the rear to drop off (like our hatchbacks) so by shape of the Spoon duckbill it makes it free flowing by it but behind the car it trashes the turbulence lol. Mostly from having high pressure and then low pressure right behind the hatch.

This should give you an idea.

More than anything I'm reaping the benefits from the weight savings alone.

 

Lmao oh no he didn't.

 

Hang on tight LOL. It feels awesome to get traction in first gear.

Bewst!!! Whats your power goal now!?

 

Yeah, yeah he did.

No reason to get to in-depth here. I'm on my phone, so it is harder to copy and paste. So bare with me here. The 2 flows charts don't even show a comparison between an Oem or spoon spoiler. It will stabilize the rear with maybe some additional drag. But, normally to get some negative lift there will be a slight increase in drag. That is why they measure (-L/D), to see "how worth it, it is".

 

Can't believe you just compared how your car will benefit from the Spoon.

 

Only Claudio, Just for that im putting a roofy in your beer Saturday night.

 

^lol!!

 

It's time for me to do my front brakes for now at least since I'm afraid one day I'm going to push down on the brake and I won't stop. I'm definitely going with Napa blank rotors since it seems like they are no different from Brembo blanks & they will probably get the job done.
It seems like Hawks will be overkill since I don't track my car or go over 65MPH so I'm stuck between

Opinions? GO.

 

I would just get the cheap boys.. If you dont care about some brake dust..

 

Just give me your side skirts lol

 

[QUOTE=4cylfeind;46080202]well my friend made 700 back on 06 so i figured that would be a nice start.

 

Oh yea he did girlfrieeeend.
Right thats exactly what Im saying. Like formula 1 for example, its not about making downforce, its about making downforce while keeping drag to a minimum.
Hehe you know me. Car looks straight bossin' with it. Just need an OEM lip now.
haha word!
The price of the Gold is very similar to the Hawk HPS. Buy nice or buy twice. Hawk pads are good pads from my research and not overkill. HP+ is overkill. Ask brad, he had HPS before and from what I know about them they are a perfect street pad. I will go with them next time I upgrade pads. Having Gold pads right now I can tell you they get dusty pretty easily so dust isn't really something to compare between those. Also you have white wheels lined up so regardless you will need to go over them with a cloth semi daily lol

 

[QUOTE=cranberry;46082260]Oh **** no kidding. I thought you were going to put something like 400 or whatever. Don't want to drive that anymore lol

 

[QUOTE=HBKFanatic;46082478]i still wouldnt let you drive my 400hp set up. ;-p

 

He can tell u how much torque it has just by listening anyway

 

kevin
stick to your plan and dont go buying crazy pads for the stock dx brakes.
