You're not a Newbie doing big things like that. Your car is bad ***
I have seen your car somewhere, maybe online or something.

Thanks all... The car will look much different than it did in the pic above very soon. Some won't like the headlights and wing like these below. I'm sure I'll get the riceboy comments. It's just to bad most people don't know what Top Fuel Japan is. hehehe


Newbie? Well I've only had the car bout 4 months. My first Honda... My other toy is a 91 Talon TSi AWD drag car...Beast? Yes it is. Check this if you have a high speed connection... (Warning for the bandwidth impaired ) http://www.theberlinturnpike.com/dra...s/mov01441.mpg

Color is well not sure what it is... The factory color was amythest and when I bought the car with a light hit they forgot to add the red to make it purple when they painted the car... Perfect mistake I didn't want purple anyways...

As for running the car I did take it out with the 75 shot on the bone stock 1.6L SOHC engine and ran 15.1@90 with a 2.21 60ft. No excuses but it was an easy 14 second car. I had one pass left in the bottle from playing the night before with the last minute install. The bottle pressure was way down and the car had much more in it. I've actually had quite the list of kills including a few stang GT's, WRX, GTI 1.8T, Eclipse GST, etc... hehe... i can't wait for the frank to be done soon.

i see your name says 'turbo' in it, is it actually boosted?
and you list a FMIC as a future mod.
i hope its turbo.

I've got a few pictures of this car already, it looks good from every angle (haven't seen the rear yet though). I dig the motion style photo, it's a good introduction picture.
