    What is the first thing you do when you have bhg?

    Another BHG seems like it would be the end of the world to me right now. I have no idea when I'm going to install my Eibach's, and there's a list of to-do's a mile long that I've been sitting on for a year. The stupid fog light mod is a good example...

    coulda shoulda woulda

    Shoulda. Definitely. I was with a guy from work in Martinsville, VA last year. He drove over to show me the speedway, and it was the same deal with a gate to the track wide open and nobody in sight. I PUSHED him to do a hot lap in his company Taurus, but couldn't talk him into it. Maybe...

    What is the first thing you do when you have bhg?

    Consider selling it over a 12 pack. That's what I did, then I grew a pair and ripped the fokker apart. :)

    my new 1J Vs. a Acura RSX

    Whew, so I'm not the only one to get beat by an RSX. It's the last time, though. Corrective actions are already underway. ;)

    Killed by a coworker this morning; '03 RSX

    Nope, Precision Autosports in Dayton, OH. Good meet by the way, and a nice place. Speaking of dyno's. I just ordered up an SAFC II today. I want to install it and spend an hour dyno tuning and making sure everything's right. Anybody got a suggestion for a good place in Louisville...

    Killed by a coworker this morning; '03 RSX

    One interesting thing about my numbers is that another MKIII with a little more boost and similar mods ran about 8 hp less than that. The dyno operator remembered doing one a couple of years ago and pulled that chart; results were the same. If it weren't for Tissmo's post, I would say that it...

    Nope. I can't wait to see his car after the swap! I tried to call you Jon, but got VM and left my numbers there.

    Killed by a coworker this morning; '03 RSX

    Temp was 96 at the dyno. I think there's a possibility that my timing isn't perfect, but I still wonder about compression. My question is whether an a/f ratio of 10-11 through most of the powerband is enough to give me the numbers I got? BTW, torque looked pretty good at 264 ft-lbs. I will...

    Killed by a coworker this morning; '03 RSX

    Funny? I guess so, but it suggests to me that I need to work out the a/f ratio issues I now know that I have. I could shoot myself or work out an addressable issue. I think I'll work it out and save a bullet. BTW, RSX makes 160 hp and weighs 1000 lbs less than my MKIII, which puts the...

    Has anybody work in injection molding?

    So I met a sales exec for an injection molding company a few months ago on a plane, had a great talk, and I'm calling him to see if I can interview for a position that would require me to "The main function of this position is to oversee all aspects of customer account and acts as the liaison...

    Trouble with boost over 1bar

    1 bar = 14.5 psi = fuel cut, methinks.

    Killed by a coworker this morning; '03 RSX

    I agree, Doc. My a/f dropped below 13 at 2500 rpm, less than 12 at 3000 and continued to drop to 10. That's a big part of it, hence the SAFC. I have never done a compression test, but I am seriously concerned that there might be a problem there...

    Head gasket

    Search the site for the TSRM, go to section 03_EM (Engine Mechanical), and follow the instructions carefully. It will tell you everything you need to remove, in what order, and how to reassemble with proper torque specs, etc. I did my HG with little basic knowlege by reading the TSRM through...

    Killed by a coworker this morning; '03 RSX

    A guy I work with has an '03 RSX with the following mods: cold air intake, coilovers, very nice tires. That's it. We've messed around a couple of times on the way home, but this morning we met up on the way in and nobody on the road. The race started from a slow rolling start as we turned...

    Anonymous HG Poll

    There's no question that's the concensus here, and reason backs up what you say about the composite HG, but look at the results so far. This is nowhere near a scientific study, but wow. I would've thought there would have been some consequences showing up for lack of machine work. Is anybody...
