The first day started out cold, a little breezy, and sprinkled on and off slightly throughout the day. My first pass wasn't very good as I miss shifted and ran a 13.81 @ 101.77 (1.770 60ft). I got laughed at bad... Robert (my shop head mechanic) was talking some trash about the nasty sounds of "non driving fool" (he said worse) miss-shifting on the track and then he found out it was me, so he rubbed it in a bit. I learned how to drive right after that and followed up with a 12.94 @ 106.2 (1.795 60ft). One really cool thing was my 60ft times. I finally broke into the 1.7's. My third pass was a 13.00 @ 106.49 (1.80 60ft). A little off mark, but consistant enough to back up my other passes. Pass #4 was the quickest of the day where I ran 12.81 @ 107.1 (1.772 60ft). I was excited since I broke my previous record, and this was also the first of my 3 "qualifying" runs for the COMP 4 class. Qualifying round 2... I miss-shifted into third again and this time hurt the tranny. Coming off the track I was unable to downshift without things feeling really notchy. I went to slow down into 1st and nothing but grindage. Rain sat in as I tried to figure out what I had done to the tranny. The event cancelled for the night as I drained the tranny to start my inspection and all I saw was brass sparkles in the fluid. NOT A GOOD SIGN. The cops came and started asking people to leave, so I was unable to go further with my teardown. The next morning I decided to just take my chances... I filled the tranny up and went for a test drive. Shifted fine, but downshifting sucked. GAME ON! The third qualifier was for the quick 8 and I was sitting in 8th clinging to my spot. All I had to do was beat my first qualifying time. I did not, I ran a 12.84 @ 108.49 (1.769 60ft). I was excited that my MPH went way up and even more excited to find out I had qualified to the Quick 8. So the Elimination rounds were next. I was done for... I was the only oddball among an entire field of civics. Gutted and cut up civics, no less. This drew some positive attention from the anouncer who pointed out that I had the only full factory bodied/glassed 4dr ACCORD in the field. This made quite a few people take notice. My last pass, although I was beat by a much lighter car was my best of the event. I pulled off a 12.721 @ 108.30 (1.753 60ft)

 

congradulations man

 

nice it is cool how you stick w/ the accord

 

what was your set up?

 

Congrats..man...Very nice numbers...Way to go for the NA brothers. I know it's not me and others probably wants to know as well, but what are your specs........ congrats.........

 

that's geat bro.

i owned a civic hb and my pelude, but had to give one up when i moved. i chose the civic to give up, and since then kind of regretted it. mainly because of the weight difference.

but now, since seeing this, i feel a little more comfortable with my choice. i guess i can still be fast.

what mods have you done to your motor? you can pm me if need be.

 

I think we all feel that way because I gave up my GSR Integra for my 97lude. We are curious of what mods he has.......

Does anyone search for user's posts anymore? You think that a 247whp H22 is not going to have some sort of write-up? Search, Prelude Forum archives, author: 2point6. He even has a link to his site in his sig.

Anyway, 2point6 that is awesome!! Are you going to tear down the transmission to see if everything is alright?

Pirate

 

Bad ***...That is nice **** you have in there.....What EMS did you use? **** now looking at your injectors I think Mine might be to small......**** again...

 

oops my bad I see it....WHat computer? p-28 or? s200?

 

p28 with s200

Pirate, yes I got to tear it down to see what happened. I have to do it tomorrow since I have a daughter that needs to get to school and back. It is tough racing the family car. LOL.

 

HAHA, I hope that it is easier to drop a transmission in an Accord than it is in a Prelude. Takes me about 5 hours to do a transaxle swap...

Pirate
