Euro Hits 7 second mark and still going lower

[EuroAccord13]

Latest 0-100km/h time = 7.02

Ran street trim with closed intake...

More practice with the clutch and I am sure 6.8 is achievable :D

[Da1nONLY]

shit! =)
thats good timing!!
maybe its time to run me? =)

[toE]

good on ya Nick. :)

[yfin]

Great! :thumbsup: Ladies and gentleman - I present to you the fastest Euro in Australia!!! :) (if anyone disagrees - step forward!)

Couple of questions Nick- do you remember what RPM the launch was?

What has changed since the last run - retune VAFC?

What is a closed intake?

Did you drop the tyre pressure?

Make sure you post this on the US forums - they will go nuts... You got 0-60mph under 7 seconds - something everyone with a TSX is trying to achieve without going turbo. The lower kerb weight of the Euro compared to the TSX helps! :D

[baboo]

Whao...that's a nice time for a Euro.

[EuroAccord13]

Nah did nothing, STREET TRIM, Just decided to run the car on impulse...No reduction in tyre pressure or removal of anything in the car and exactly half a tank of fuel in it, only thing I forgot to do was to remove my CAI intake cover, that would have help :P abeit little but it would have helped...

I don't wanna go brag in the US forums coz they're bound to flame me back so I'll keep it within the OzHonda community..


My launch was at 2000RPM I think... Most of the time, I launch from idle..

I have a photo of the time on the RSM on my phone, I'll upload it and post it up here, if by then I get a better time, I'll use that LOL :D

P.S, 0-60miles is only 0-96 or 98km/h in metric so their times will be more in actual 0-100km/h runs...

CHEERS
Nick

How accurate is the RSM?

[EuroAccord13]

How accurate is the RSM?

Almost as accurate as the Gtech Pro Comp :) and I got the G Sensor too ... Still beats better than a stopwatch LOL ..... Percentage of error, prolly 0.1%? Not Sure...

[h22a accord]

according to my phone camera video i crack the 0-100 in an easy 6 seconds flat. In street rim with half a tank of petrol, a heavy stereo and 17" wheels.
did a 2000rpm launch with a little bit of wheel spin.

anyone want to see the vid? u have to down load nokia multi media player to view it.

I think you are the first person to have run 0-60mph under 7seconds without a turbo in a Euro/TSX.

[yfin]

Honda quotes 7.9 for standard Euro. 1/4 mile is high 15s.

Some have got less than quoted time - these guys got 7.6

Luxury manual is slightly slower due to extra weight - Wheels mag got 8.1 for lux 6mt

[EuroAccord13]

The only performance times I trust are those only from UK's Top Gear and Japan's Best Motoring... The rest can't drive for S H I T s I'm sorry...

[PERTH_EURO]

yeah but the rest of us cant drive that good. I guess realistic times by peeps in Oz are more relevant, well to me anyway

[McChook]

Top time, but I wish I were in Victoria to see it in action....
like right beside it....
