    what's the best RPM to launch?

    azenis are not good drag tires. never been drag racing B) but i usually do 4800-5000 hard slip, modulate the clutch and gas. seems to work well for me. if i ever feel like going in just a straight line maybe i can find out for sure.

    can somebody change gears w/o pressing the cluch?

    :bash: why would you do that? stop. perhaps consider a manual > auto conversion. :P who told you that? www.howstuffworks.com <----- read everything you can basically, when you depress the clutch, the internals of the transmission stop spinning, so you can change gears smoothly. without...

    B20

    yeah, i agree with everything that's been said thus far. also, i would much rather have a gsr block sleeved to 2.0 (or more ;) ) than a shitty b20 block. it would only cost you about $200-400 more, and you'll still have decent compression, strong as hell sleeves, the block girdle, and oil...

    Need pistons for buildup

    first off, ebay sucks. buyer beware. :ph34r: you should hone your cylinders for sure - it be really really stupid not to. in my opinion, ctr pistons in a non ctr motor are very questionable, and can be dangerious. make sure you want to do that before you buy, which means being fully aware of...

    what a good shocks/coilover combo?

    :yes: you're gonna autox with a 400hp turbo ff car? :lol: you should probalby just stick to straight line racing. :mullet: j/k you probably should look into the avc-r boost controller with gear dependent boost contol, so you have some hope at getting any kind of traction. for drag, you'll...

    H&R Cup Kit VS TEIN BASIC

    i just stumbled upon this link: http://www.grassrootsmotorsports.com/shocks.html it's long, but holy crap is it a good read. read it. don't buy shocks until you do. hrm.... :D and i still maintain that koni / gcs is the end all solution to suspension :P

    How can I make a d15b quick?

    i assume you have the jdm d15b tranny also? the gearing is pretty good however: get an srr 4.9 final drive. that will make it real quick. B) also, look into getting some zc 3rd, 4th, and 5th gear sets. 'quick' is just as much in gearing as it is the engine. think about it. you'll be able...

    Are LCA's worth it?

    just get es poly lca bushings and be done. don't waste money when your oem lcas do the job just fine. if you want some blingin parts, at least get it where it can be seen... not your lcas :P

    Need pistons for buildup

    p30 pistons are jdm, so i doubt you can just go to the dealer and get them. if you can, this is excellent news for me, but i was under the assumption that you can't get jdm exclusive parts at usdm dealers. am i wrong? helms manual >>>>> haynes manual. it's the bible for your car. get it now...

    Help Me Decide

    crazy idea? put b18b head on a b16a

    i think it's a terrible idea. you do understand that less compression + more boost = more compression + less boost right? just turn the boost down, or build the block. don't throw away vtec for a -0.5 in compression. that's all you'd get... maybe try a thicker head gasket. if you do it...

    Explain Heel-Toe Driving

    Explain Heel-Toe Driving

    yeah i asked him why and how the hell he does that. he said it's just the only thing that works for him. he had to bend the gas pedal up closer to the brake, because he was pushing in the brake too much during the blip. he said he's always braking hard, so the pedals pretty down there. i...

    Explain Heel-Toe Driving

    yeah i can't heel toe either. the way the pedals are in my civic it just doesn't work. however, ankle toe is real easy. i've thought about getting some pedal pads with the extension on the gas pedal to make it easier.... a good friend of mine, who is the best driver i've ever seen...

    flywheel

    if anything it's better. don't listen to those who say they make you slow, and are hard to drive. this is false, and most likely coming out of someones ass. 8lbs all the way B)

    Need pistons for buildup

    1. drop the wrench 2. burn haynes manual 3. get a helms manual www.helminc.com :worthy: 4. pick up wrench p30 pistons came in the jdm b16. pr3 came in the usdm b16. pct is ctr, leave them alone if you don't want bent valves. i'd recommend p30 pistons. 11.6 is a good cr, you can make...

    RSX trim question

    just to confirm, as the first post was a little unclear (si has a3): the jdm integra type r actually has the k20a engine w/ 6spd of course 220ps the rsx-s has the k20a2 with 6spd 200hp the base rsx and civic si have the k20a3 with 5spd. 160hp = gay i'm pretty sure there is a base model...
