The Bottle Bomb back on the track.

Wasn't running on the bottle but she still goes good. Full interior minus backseat/carpet. Running 3 tenths faster in the 384' compared to last year on a really rough tune. I'll post some more video's later.

Could have been 4-5 tenths faster, but had to get on the brakes hard in my first eliminations run. Finished 3rd out of 20-30 cars. I still suck at bracket racing, car is dead constant qualifying and goes all over the map in eliminations.

That run was a 6.440@63mph... this track is usually a 2 tenths slower than the nearest 1/4 mile track at the 330' mark.

What would have been my fastest pass I had to get on the brakes to not break out.

The wheels are bogart, the tires are from Mickey Thompson. I'll be ordering some new M&H slicks and skinnies in the next month or so since the skinnies are DOT approved (the car sees some street duty and swaping tires is never fun) and most M&H is more popular in the Honda world. Karo hooked me up but the setup isnt cheap ($3g-ish).

The throttle stop sound I'm assuming you mean the when staging/pre launch? That would be the MSD DIS-IIs two step feature, I'm leaving the line at 6750 right now with my foot to the floor dumping the clutch, the TG LSD has held up well with 50+ launches at 6500-7000 on slicks.

Watching that vid, you just convinced me to buy a Dis-2. I was on the fence about ordering it, but looks like what I have planned later that I'll need a MSD and HPT.
But any way, that launch was hard, quick, and with that same RPM every time should be consistent. Which is what winning a race is all about.



Post up some more vids please.

I'll buy parts off it. I just started my Eco swap, so I can't spend anything on a whole new car. My wife would kill me.

Let me know if you need to get rid of anything.
