~~~~~~~~~~~

I just received word from the shop owner that it is now on the 19th, Sunday ... due to rain.

rain is gay T_T;;; ... sorry for the late notice!

 
Rep Power: 316

you gonna win a trophie

 
Rep Power: 362

haha no.

I'm not even close to winning ... 208 whp is really nothing to brag about ;P

 
Rep Power: 403

stop waisting your money on dyno's and save for kpro... you should have it by now'!

 
Rep Power: 362

nah ... I would, but I bought someone $720 headers.

 
Rep Power: 351

!!! The only headers that cost that much better be spelled T-O-D-A

 
Rep Power: 316

 
Rep Power: 362

or M-A-C.

a rather nice christmas/anniversary present I suppose.

 
Rep Power: 351

Like I said . . . . T-O-D-A!!!

 
Rep Power: 311

i would go, but, uhhh, yeah......i think i would bring my lawnmower...prolly has more power...and its a honda too.

 
Rep Power: 362

ah, well you guys should show up anyway ...

free food and drinks even if you don't dyno. there's gonna be a couple 300+ whp rsx's ... one or two 500 whp ones... along with a whole crapload of other nice cars.

it's gonna be a fun day ;D

 
Rep Power: 311

i think ill go.....i just need to be reminded like the week of. BUt yeah, I think Ill cruise down for that. I may as well dyno my POS, just to see what unrespectable numbers im getting. haha

 
Rep Power: 351

!!! I just realized! Thats March 11th. AKA 3-11 commonly known by the hive as 311 day. Hopefully I'll be in New Orleans at the 311 day concert.

 
Rep Power: 362

well ... dru is gonna dyno his car too ... so that's two d17's ... gonna rep the d17 haha.

anyone want to buy a dc race header for the d17? haha

 
Rep Power: 346

Hell yea!! I think im all fast now cuz i drive a stick lol.............

 
Rep Power: 311

you got a new tranny dru?

derek, how much you want for it?

 
Rep Power: 316

your a ricer now

 
Rep Power: 362

hmm ... the header actually belongs to my friend jaredn. We quickly found out (or not so quickly with our 4-hour installation, trying to find a way to fit it with an automatic transmission) that it doesn't work with autos... only manuals.

I believe he got the header for 380ish ... I'm not sure how much he'll sell it for ... I'll let you know. Since it was never actually used, it will probably be somewhere close to 380. Again, I will talk to him and let you know if you're still interested ... so .. let me know ;P

 
Rep Power: 311

yeah, it replaces the cat too no?

im not too familiar with the race headers, but I need to get rid of my HP shorty headers, cuz mike needs his cat back. haha

 
Rep Power: 362

^ yeah, they replace the whole exhaust manifold + cat ... and bolt right up to your EX exhaust.

hp shorty doesn't do sheit. I had the kamikaze when I had my d17 ... that didn't do sheit either.

but when I got a catless midpipe, that DID help quite a bit ... especially after 5000 rpms.

 
Rep Power: 311

damn...but i dont really want the raspy noise.

 
Rep Power: 362

mine wasn't raspy. I had the rsr ex-mag exhaust ...

 
Rep Power: 311

Hmm...I have the HKS, and thats pretty quiet too.....do you think I should give it a shot?

I think Ill officially be producing the lowest HP numbers there.

 
Rep Power: 362

HKS ... catback or axleback? ...

I think you should use some sort of catback. No powersteering will help out a bit. I've been w/o p/s for a couple years now ... even on my k20. People say it's really stiff, but you get used to it. Plus, it keeps unwanted drivers from driving your car (ie. your parents)

nah ... dru will be producing the lowest numbers rofl.

haha jk dru ;P

 
Rep Power: 311

lol.....well....its just axleback. I really like the HKS, and I dont want to get rid of it, so maybe I can have some custom piping done or something.

Youre going to help me remove my p/s. lol

 
Rep Power: 362

eh ... custom piping isn't a good idea ...

for my first exhaust, I had custom 2.25" piping with no resonator ... that sounded super ricey. some time after that, i had the tanabe srm exhaust ... that was ricey as well.

hks is probably okay ... take dopes' apexi exhaust haha ;P

try to get a cai if possible too ... if you must run an sri, make sure the metal piping doesn't physically touch the throttle body ... or else the whole intake will heat up much more.

hmm, removing your p/s should only take like 15 min ... maybe at the next meet or something.

Unless you just wanna do it at ams ... then we're gonna look desparate haha

 
Rep Power: 311

Well...heres what Ive got.

Ive got HP shorty headers with the EX exhaust conversion, HKS axlbeack, the synthetic oil with the HAMP filter I bought from you, AEM v2 intake....and thats about it. Most of the other mods are cosmetic/suspension. I think I may just try those race headers. I dont like bobs exhaust that much...not too sure why. haha. I love my HKS!

 
Rep Power: 362

hmm ... you'd probably gain about 5-7whp from getting a cat-delete somehow ... either megan's or maybe the dc race header.

the aem v2 is gonna hurt you since it'll be sucking up 100+ degree air from your engine bay. you mostly feel the hot air when you're driving around the city.

bob = dopes, right?

not really sure what else could help you on the dyno. making sure your plugs are evenly gapped at 13 ft/lb and having lightweight tires/rims are gonna help you especially since it's a dynojet.

I'd imagine with the mods you currently have including no p/s, you'd pull off right around 110-ish whp at a decent temperature. that's just my guess though .. ;P

you should borrow some 99 si rims for the dyno day if possible ;P

 
Rep Power: 311

well, I have my rotas....and theyre actually not that heavy. I may just put on a megan pipe just for the dyno day. My buddy has one laying around.

 
Rep Power: 362

yeah ... rotas are very light ... slips, right? ;P

hmm ... yeah. I still have a lot of d17 love ;P

maybe we can take your V2 off and put it back on, but have it pointing outside of the engine bay haha
