I 'm fix'n to put on all my stuff for my car (cat back, header, cold air intake,paint work, interior work,zex no,blah, blah ,blah ,brag, brag,brag)and one of the things is coil overs. I want to see if I'll be satisfied with just a drop or if I need to get a body kit before I start painting. I've also heard that body kits can slow you down.......but to what extent?

 

try hondaprelude.com

 

On my site (link at the bottom), in the "Friend's Rides" section, there are some low-resolution pics of my bro's '96 Si, with all the mods listed (~1.5" drop).

 

sounds like your gonna ruin that prelude anyways, go ahead and drop it 4 inches..

 

...and how would I be ruin'in my 'lude?

 

nitrous will do a good job of ruining an engine.

 

...... So I guess you have experience with nos? How many kits have you put in and seen perform on a car?.........................Have you ever had nos?

 

What 'd you think I am ........stupid! (don't answer that) I'm only putting a 75 shot zex system on it and an A/F ratio gauge. I don't need a fuel pressure riser or rods and pistons. If I were go'na go with a 150 shot or something then I would build up my engine and do all that good stuff. (hey!I know what I'm do'in)

 

must??

I ran a 75hp zex kit for about a year with no problems on a 93 h22a1... now i have a turbo on it and it is still running strong... oh and it has about 120k miles on it too... and goes to the drag strip and the autoX and stoplight drags, oh, and is a daily driver... nitrous isn't the killer everyone makes it out to be, people installing/using it incorrectly are the real problem...

 

Right on brother!

 

Aren't those safety nets that you would LIKE to have though?

I have a friend with a 50 shot of ZEX on a Del Slow... no fuel pump, but a FPR installed correctly...

second shot = BAM... now he's rolling with a b18c5. Know why? cause he burned not one, but TWO pistons.

You may not need it all the time... you may not need it at all. But I wouldn't use a setup without one. That's just a safety measure that I go by. Different folks, different strokes.

 

WELL YOUR WRONG JG .......Just kidding Your right they are good safty nets. I have a lot of faith in honda motors esp. h22a's though,.. as do you.
Like you said......different strokes for d. folks ( thats how I say it...hey d. strokes for d. folks).

Things I've learned as an import racer:
There are no absolutes.

 

You forgot their is one....................Honda is better....period.(!)

Ok... I'll give you that one. Although there are some Supra and 3rd gen RX-7 owners that might disagree.
