I seriously doubt this forum attracts cops like Redliners does. Besides, cops can't do anything. In court, they cannot use this type of evidence against you.

Even if you meant streetracing, it doesnt mean anything. I could make up a fabricated story about crazy street races, cops still couldnt do anything with that information.

wha wha wha!!

Just follow TurboABA's Advice... Make a diclaimer in this forum, that everything said in this racing forum is purely fictiononal, and soley done to impress the members.

Easy as pie.

I will end up doing it when I put in a Street Racing forum in the spring/late winer

Mr2, i totally agree with you that you can say whatever you want here and cops can't hold it against you, but we are trying to promote a image og "angelic street driving behaviour" of car enthusiasts that take racing to the track.

I personally know at least 1 member does street race from time to time.

Do you have any modifications to your h23? My time/trap speed was just slightly faster than yours, but when I raced a 93 prelude h23 I had about 5 car lenghs on him (this was many years ago when I did street race)

Sounds ok to me, however, I wouldn't qualify since I probably won't be at a meet for a long time, and even then I live hours away.

ran the 15.4 with a badly slipping stock clutch this past summer. middle of august in about 23 degree weather. the clutch was 10 years old and had 115,000 miles on it = probably around 170kms or so. i have a blitz filtered CAI and cat-back 2.25 exhaust. new plugs and wires new radiator new hydraulic slave cylinder for the clutch. I stripped about 120 lbs out of the car for the track that day and i was only running on 91 octane and very bad tires. I launched it for a 60' of 2.212 and even that was not a very good one.

I have just installed a stage 2 bully clutch and lightened the flywheel. on 94 octane and my new tires i expect about a 15.1 or so. with nitrous i'm looking at 14.5-14.8 on a 55shot when i pick up a zex kit in the spring.

if you beat my car by 5 lengths he probably started out in reverse the H23 stock is 160hp and 156 torque and the car weighs anywhere between 2700 and 2900 depending on driver and tank of gas and interior. stock it runs 15.7 i am probably up around 175hp now or so.

i dont know if you know there is a prelude base model that is a SOHC non-vtec only 130hp. it sounds to me like you raced him instead.

I also find that prelude drivers in my car have really wierd concepts of where to shift. Some guys think they should go to 7 grand (redline is 6600) and keep it as high as possible the whole time. the h23 torque peak is only 4500. i shift at about 5800-6000. when i race preludes going to redline i usually spank them by about 2-3 lengths.

EDIT: i just realized i sound kind of cocky there. thats not my intention, i'm usually the last guy to get in a hypothetical racing discussion. just trying to present different views of maybe why you killed him if it was an H23.

New Forum was setup if you can't see it, it means you don't have access to it.

It was not the 130hp model, trust me. I am not new to hondas thanks. I have been researching hondas, dsms, 240sx, mr2s for years and years. And have worked on a number of them.

When it comes to 1/4 mile racing driver skill has a lot to do with it. I've been driving standard since I was 7 years old. The h23 driver, I doubt, had the same experience.
