I don't doubt the power your car already possesses, but it'll be nice to see it in terms of performance and not just on paper... I mean.. The number of hours the car has been on the dyno easily pushes the car much further than say running the car 3 times on the strip... So what is a few runs on the strip?

Peekay's car doesn't have headers and exhaust fitted at the moment - so now is not the time for him to do a 1/4 even if he wanted to. I don't think the 1/4 has to be harsher on the car than street driving.

Given the extra power you probably are not going to be able to take off from much more than 2500rpm. So the take off is easy (relatively speaking) on the car. I don't think it will be a situation where you will want to launch the car and be harsh on the drivetrain.

Just another dyno queen hey spend all this money on a setup to make the car faster and not use it

Couldn't agree more

It'd be nice to see a timeslip to match up with the impressive dyno results...
Otherwise I think alot of the gloss of the dyno figures gets worn away.

don't get me wrong I'd like to see what it can do as well - i just don't think anyone should be pressured into, or put down for not wanting to take it to the strip. It's peekay's car afterall.

Thanks mate thats right. Besides why should I go to a strip just for others sake if they want how fast it goes if they want it they can pay for it cause I ain't out of my pocket I know what the car can do even as it stands now... I have never put a car on a strip not even my Sportivo Corolla with the $12500 dollars worth of mods that I spent on it.

I prefer the driveabiliity not being a dyno queen it is a project car for the fun of it I don't need to do 160 kmh just to find out how quick it is or isn't so thanks for the comment mate really appretiate it. What money I have spent and why is my business and no one elses. Do I tell you how to spend your hard earned cash?????

Besides with all this so call dyno queening who will benefit from all my hard earned spending on a dyno.... You who ever buys the stuff...
So I don't think you have the right to knock me. The car is not complete I don't have all the stuff on my car even if I wanted to go to a track ...which I have no intention of doing. I have better things at the moment to do with my money... Like a new garage, rendering my house, buying a new tv, fixing my windows on my house, buying a motor bike, restumping some of my house....... so track work maybe in 3 years time when I have the spare cash..

Hmm.ah ..ok

Can we get back on topic about actual release info on Hondata or whateva its called these days?

Ive decided to keep my 05 euro and get a new 07 CRV lux as a runabout so bring on the mods im up for it. Asuming of course that its not vapourware......

**aaronng** · 08-03-2007 11:14 PM

Why do you need the CRV? The Euro is already a runabout. It's not like its a track car.... Unless you need the space or you plan to drive up the stairs or something.
