cool. Thanks for the advice guys. I'll be sure to tell you all how it goes after next sunday. :)

Well, the VHT is about 30ish bucks per gallon.. a gallon should last a few months. It's just a temp until can afford drag radials, which should be toward the end of next month. How much psi should I pull from the rears? Or should I just test it and see by burning out and checking my marks?

Pressure at 30 in the rear? I thought it was typically better to drop rear PSI?

I've been reading articles about applying it directly to the tires. It's kind of an old street racing trick, but the track I'm going to is 100% untreated, raw blacktop. I'm thinking of buying some and spraying the tires down with it before the run in hopes of getting some semblance of...

Anyone have any experience with this stuff? Recommendations? Warnings? I'm having severe grip issues with the michelins my previous owner had on the car. He was wayyy old and not hardly a driver. :D All-seasons just don't have the hookup im gonna need at the track, and I...

Questions about this. 1. Does it work? 2. Is there a decent walkthrough on how to do it somewhere? 3. If not, would someone be willing to pm me some pics/ideas on how I could accomplish this? The reason I want to do this is because I'm going out to the strip next weekend and I...

My '96 LSC Tops out hard at 124. I believe with your gearing, yours will do 130 before the ECU tells you to shove it.

I also thought of hardwiring the Passport x50 in.. you guys had experience there?

If that's all it is, I ought to be able to handle it fine. I can find shorts.. and fix them.. I just don't do in depth electrical work.

I can't put a fuse in my #8 slot without it blowing instantly. Short? Wiring problem? If anyone has had this issue before, I could really use some info/advice.. I tried google, and found nothing on the subject. And I'm dumb, and don't know enough about cars to diagnose it on...

Update. I tried replacing the blown fuse, and as I was putting the new one in, it blew as well. Short in the circuit, maybe? Anyway, my dad's gonna take a look at it when he's in town and help me figure out the problem with it. I checked into an escort 8500... i can get it for 185$ (i...

Hmm.. after reading those articles and realizing that i get a significant emplyee discount on passports.. yeah, i'll be picking one up soon. and a new switch? damn. Knowing this car, it'll be expensive and hard to replace. lol

and thanks for the advice. :)

Yeah.. I'm buying a valentine 1 soon.. and I noticed that my lighters are down! lol I'm replacing the fuse tomorrow. As far as the headlights go, they come on automatically at night. The first night I owned the car, I turned them off at night, though.. i remember because I used...

couple of fuse questions. my cigarette lighters are both down.. im thinking bad fuse? Also, I'm trying to figure out how to turn off the automatic headlight feature. I thought about pulling the fuse, but I'm worried it's linked to other electronics.. is there a simple fix that I'm...

as far as the stock SI Vs. MarkVIII thing goes... I proved that one wrong tonight. I ran a civic si (2000+ year. Not sure. Late model, though. Hatchback.) from a 60 punch, 75punch, and from a dig.. And all he could do was look at my taillights. It was lame. Anyone can...

So you lost against one, and you're quitting? That's kind of lame. Of course there are fast civics...there are minivans that are fast... but why would it make you not wanna race anything?

Hm. Was it cost-effective, or a pain in the ass to setup? I mean, it's a great idea and all, but how much trouble is it to go through? [says the guy who wants a rear-mounted turbo'ed mark8] :D talk about a hypocrite! lol..

He's right. It's hard enough to fit piping/lines everywhere for the turbo itself. But installing a separate oil system? It's a cool idea, but i'm not sure of the feasibility. I could be wrong though. Just never seen it done before.

Turbo systems aren't freaking dress-up kits. If you wanna look pretty, buy valve-covers. Turbos are for hauling ass. You can't tell me that car isn't damned fast. It's not pretty, but I'd rather have an ugly turbo than no turbo.
