It Finally Happened...We Broke @ the Track

F.I.A.T · 05-25-2007, 11:40 PM

As the title states we broke. As many of you have been wondering when was it going to happen. Some wondered how come it had yet to happen. Well the time has finally come for us all to see the end results of some hard work.

We took the car up to the track here tonight in an effort to see what we could pull out of her. Since the last time was not very eventful we borrowed a set of 4 year old used slick and decided to give it another try.

With a pathetic launch and the almost dry rotted slicks we were only able to pull a meager 2.1 60 ft on the launch.

Here is Ron delivering the news to Doug @ Hondata

The car weighs in at 2800lbs even without the 225lbs driver behind the seat. It was run with full trim with spare tire jack seats all all oem trim intact.

By the way what we broke was the 11 second barrier. the car went 11.9 @ 121mph on oem axles and 24.5" used slicks.

F.I.A.T · 05-25-2007, 11:56 PM

20psi with the car weighing in @ 2800lbs without the driver. We only ran one pass so we wouldnt get kicked off for not having a scatter sheild or a cage installed.

Blk4drSI · 05-26-2007, 01:30 AM

Yeah man, keep it up. If you guys keep posting stuff up like this, I think alot people will change their mind about the ajp kit. Simply awesome.

DetachmentBravo · 05-26-2007, 01:40 AM

Haha, I love the mind game with the title. I as much as anyone have been heralding the coming doom of this engine, but they guys at AJP and the K20Z3 continue to amaze and astound.

mike1970 · 05-26-2007, 01:40 AM

Alphi · 05-26-2007, 02:04 AM

those same people fail to realize AJP isn't working blind ... it helps to have hondata on ur side ...

PS: even then the doom can happen ... but unlikely when precaution>cure.

i had for over 12,000 miles ... some untuned miles in there as well ...
never broke or even rattled ....

but research before u buy ... if boost is new to u then this may not be the kit for u ...

**sickyute** · 05-26-2007, 02:34 AM

oh yeah ...
congrats

PS: make me the first NA build

**sickyute** · 05-26-2007, 02:41 AM

almost forgot ...
cheaping out on suspension doesn't help!!!
running a high HP car on tein S-tech springs and stock struts is ridiculous!!!
HFP 18s too?
i mean i know the car has to be driven daily and whatever ... but damn atleast have the parts avaialble for track day or something ...
