Default in-car Video from Midwest Honda Challenge, H1 #117 Prelude

Here's my in-car video from Saturday and Sunday's race. There were a few full-course yellows, I chopped that out of the video.

Thanks Whip Factory for putting together and tuning the motor, assembling the new tranny with the MFactory final drive and new diff, and getting it all done on time for me to go race it!

Sure, it's a new motor built basically same as the original. 2.2L, 11:1 compression, JUN Cams, SMSP header.

Biggest difference now is the tranny. I have the Euro R gears, MFactory 4.6 FD, Kaaz LSD. Also, the Aero Magic front lip, I'll get some pics uploaded soon.

Awesome! Too bad more people don't take Preludes to the track where they belong. Btw, how does this Prelude feel compared to your old ITR (minus the turbo issues)?

I believe he said 2400lbs with driver. So 2200-2250 and that includes the cage!
Chris, can we talk you into a night at the Drag Strip! 10:1 P/W would be 12's for sure!

Lighter, nimbler. Also really tail happy, this thing is a bit scary sometimes, to me. I'm a wimp though, loose is fast.

Yeah I've been curious which would be faster, my old turbo ITR or this one. I never cracked 12's with the ITR, I blame the tires mostly. (13.2@114, 2.2? 60' time).

Here's another video of the same track (slightly different configuration) with last year's gearbox. One of my favorites.

I'm saving up all my monies to run a full midwest series championship. I have to tow to Omaha

It's a long way from Chicago to the BeaveR... as much as I wouldn't mind lapping the beaver...

And people think Preludes are heavy and slow! Thats why they have a 2.2 liter and not a tiny 1.6 or 1.8!!

Put me 1st on the list if you ever have thoughts of selling it. I was so close to snatching it last year!
Keep us posted on your progress!
Do you by any chance have that Dyno Sheet hanging around? I am curious to see what your powerband looks like compared to mine.
