Just wanted to say goodbye to the entire squad personally. I speak to a lot of you over the phone/texts but just wanted to thank everyone for the time, input and help these past 4 years. Its obvious weve all grown apart on the forum but I still wanted to say something to MDVACM I posted an update in the profile thread as well.
Oh ill be there! Can't wait for derrick to try n pull a fast one on me again for this meet :-P should be fun! Really looking forward to seeing some different accords too!
Took my baby to get washed at my boys firestation, took some pics, then took some videos! They turned out kinda shitty so,... I think Ima redo it soon and since its night time itll be easier to see the gauges
Ill just tell you guys about it since I couldnt get a picture before I had to pull off but
Saw this beautiful Red 6th Gen V6 coupe. It had aftermarket fog lights in the lower grill, not too bad but the kicker was on the backside. In addition to the ricer altezzas that I let slide considering the paint job. The guy must've gotten a lil paint happy cuz he tried to color match the mufflers with spray paint.
Went to get the car aligned then got it washed, these damn breaks just blacken my rims tho! I need some new ones buuuut,..
last night on the way home from my friends Bday Celebration a Mk III Supra got all revvy with me so I shifted down to 2nd going like 55 and we enjoyed a lil spirited competition, I started walking away from em at 70 then he did the stereotypical ricer flyby after it was obviously over! nothin crazy but just wanted to test my metal!
No no I felt the same way, unfortunately I had to put a downpayment on a tuning session way back when I thought I was gonna be using the AEM F/IC for the Blower but, I just sold that and have a few other things I need to do so this tune will do for now,.. I mean theres nearly a 13% decrease in a Dyno Dynamics from a Dynojet so by my calculations thats about 235+whp but I agree Tim Ill probably be going to InlinePro after I get my highflow Cat Converter and completely redo my exhaust, maybe put in an aftermarket clutch and the RSX-S flywheel at that time too
Alright so Ill post up some Dyno graph pics later but the engine with test pipe and an extremely small post cat exhaust flange which will be fixed soon, also a rotting exhaust which will also be replaced
211.4whp and 165lbs.tq.
I wasnt exactly impressed with the #s when looking at the graphs, although this was a DynoDynamics Dyno and doing a lil internet searching Ive seen them run anywhere from 10-20% lower than a Dynojet. This specific Dyno at Ptuning has rated Stock STIs at 225awhp and stock ap1 s2000s at 195rwhp to give you an idea of the difference. Also the guy working their said one of his friends with a k20/k24 dynoed at 208whp with the same internals so porting the head and the test pipe mustve helped.
Vtec engages at 3800rpms, I know sounds low but it actually makes pretty good tq and pulls strong. the tuner said its alright to move it up about 500rpms if I feel it necessary since the map is tuned for it.3rd gear is soooo damn tall in k24s tho so its kinda hard to downshift n pull unless I go to 2nd, although off the line the car is extremely fun and breaks 80 damn quick.
Its drives a bit rough tho since it wasnt street tuned and Im not 100% sure the tuner knew everything he was doing he said he had tuned s2000s before on kpro. Not the same and not the best choice on my part so Ill prolly be retuning here in the future but for now Im just enjoying the car
