As you can see I really don't like graphics a whole lot, the only non factory stickers that I have on the car are HyTech Exhaust and Honda-tech.com. This was this last weekend at the Sacramento Raceway where I won the local CMI - California Modified Imports North vs. South race with over 112 cars in my class.

All pictures were taken by http://www.carandmodel.com ....I just borrowed them Thanks Mike for the photos.

nice burnout!!

 

two rims? what a ricer.

just kidding austin

 

that rear left tire looks heated up...was it low on air

 

Could you explain that a little better? Not sure what you are asking.

Thanks,
Austin

 

oh ****, good job on putting the beat down on those f00s

 

So what kind of times are you running on the type R?

 

Only had 1 practice run in the morning, and I was trying to find the correct tire pressure to use, best of the day was a 13.9X with my dial in being a 13.9.

Some of the things that prevented me from getting better times at the drag strip:

1. Couldn't launch higher than 4500rpm or I would have too much wheel spin.

2. Nitto NT-555R tires had 5000 road miles and 250+ runs on them.

3. I had to lower the tire pressures to 9 psi to get any traction.

4. The time that I finally got decent traction I had to hit the brakes to avoid braking out.

5. Full interior, only changes from street setup was the removal of the spare tire and changing to the worn out drag radials.

6. Since my last tuning session I removed the FPR and stock injectors and added in the '97+ prelude injectors without retuning...running quite rich, visible black smoke(as mentioned by my tuner who was present, tuning on Friday)

Hopefully I will be able to get some better times later this month.

good job Austin..you Drag Racing pimp

 

Sweeeet

 

That is a sick burnout!

Iggy: who wishes he could burnout too!

 

bracket racing is wack, hit a Pro tree and see how fast you can possibly go thats racing . if you want to bracket race get an automatic accord.

 

Thanks for the insight.

 

Sure buddy.

 

austin what cams are you running?

 

Stock itr cams.

Austin

 

nice

 

Keep up the good work

 

With a "12sec-sleeper" you must lose a lot in heads up racing.

 

cool, good job! eric

 

Austin, what do you have doen, and how much whp do you have???

 

Everything you wanted to know about my setup...but since then I've added in a Comptech Al flywheel, Clutchnet clutch, ACT pressure plate, and a JDM Final Drive...quicker times are to be realized with better traction.

If I had a big budget I might think about it...but winning an NHRA Wally, and being $1100 richer after 2 race weekends was good enough for me.

heads up racing is typically won by the person that spends the most amount of money on the chassis and engine development...I don't have that kind of money, nor do I have a care to compete at that level, this is my daily driven vehicle that I use everyday as it sits, the car now hae ~39,000 miles on it in 22 months of ownership, I also autocross the car, a go to the occational track day.

I am competing in the class that best suits what my car is designed for.
