Default Bringing sexy back... I mean the Accord out of retirement

I recently brought the Accord out of retirement and after a few passes I was back in the "groove". The nights temps were in the high eighties and the corrected elevation was about 5700' above sea level. Our actual elevation is 3100'. Conditons weren't all that great but the car ran really well. I broke the clutch on the next pass, so I was done for the night.

Here is a vid for your enjoyment.

Me vs. '65 Chevelle

Not bad at all.
Why do you think the clutch went out?

Good work Scott, still loving the Accord. Are you going to get a chance to test the 52mm ITBs?

I am going to fix my clutch issue and test the 5.1 final drive hopefully next weekend. After that I will be sending the ITBs out for resizing. I need to do some plenum manifold testing while they are away, so we will see what happens.

About time..
Heh, I was gonna come down Friday, but I couldn't find anyone to go with me, so I didn't drive down..

So, how do you feel about the setup? Did it perform well for you?
What was your fastest time?


Hey Matt, I'll fly out and help ya, and bring it back with me..

I wonder if the guy in the Chevelle was surprised about not hearing a turbo in the Accord?
