No...I wasn't fast enough to realize the benefits. I run 10k springs up front and 12's in the rear and that has helped it rotate great...but the faster I've gotten, the more suspension I need.

Re: (civicandy)
For you guys that are running the buddy club batteries - how are you strapping it down?
Using custom? Stock?
I got overanxious and picked one up instead of the odyssey I was planning to get. I had assumed the dimensions were the same so I could use the aluminum battery box Odyssey sells, but the dimensions are wrong.
Pics appreciated.

I had a BC battery and an Odyssey alum box and the BC was about 1/4 inch too tall. It still worked, though. Maybe you have a different BC or box than me.

Home made here, Block of aluminum and some tie down brackets/nuts you can buy at any auto store. Polish it up smooth out the edges, works well and doesnt look to bad

Yep, that's it and ITR valvetrain. The Sportscar Motion K20 EG (or K24, not sure) was only laying down 2min flat. I still can't believe my car did a 2:01!!!

I actually didnt pick up the box just yet, I was just going off of dimensions provided, but if that's all it's off by, i think I will pick one up.
EDIT: NA did you have to tap new holes, or were there any you could use?

I never got it installed. I parted out everything before then. I would go ahead and get the box. The PC680 and the BC are almost identical. It will require an ever-so-slight modification, but it will be perfect after that. You'll have to either notch the box or notch the battery (just the plastic top piece).

Re: (-NA-aLL-thE-wAy-)
What's the fix for a code 9? Cyl. #1 position I think. I am converted obd1. Running a base b16 map in a p28. I bought a obd1 distributor. Could I have a wire crossed going to the distr. plug? I replaced the plug on the harness side with and obd1 plug.

I drove the car to a personal best of 2:06. I had a Honda Challenge buddy drive the car on Saturday and he hit a 2:01. Absolutely incredible. To put that in perspective, the Hasport K20 supercharged car runs a 1:58. My car pulled 2:01's with an oem diff. that was acting like a damn open diff, omni crapper coil overs, and the use of no rear sway bar (I need one now that I've gotten a bit faster and the car is starting to push).
All in all, it was a fun weekend.</TD></TR></TABLE>\
Nice times man, so whats the next upgrade to cut those seconds off?

Re: (billboard)
^ Looks like good progress . I feel your pain on sanding though...just started sanding out the fluting on the SiR headlights 
As for the mouldings, just pick them up OEM Honda while you can still get them. It'll be worth it on a freshly painted car
