    Tokico D Spec drag settings...

    this pic is with the D-Specs 6 turns out all around. With a stickier track you can firm up the rear settings quite a bit. My best 60' was a 1.57 but I missed a shift.

    What the heck! Now what!

    Most people use a 3.5" or 4" 3 jaw puller and pull from the center spokes not to damage the rubber between the inner and outer 1/2 of the balancer.

    Baaad Hop! Gear Heads help pls

    The upper control arm has a hydra mount bushing which is what causes this to happen. Replace the UCA with one which has a urethane bushing and you'll be ok. If you plan on lowering the car get an adjustable UCA so that you can adjust the pinion angle in the future. You can get rid o most of...

    Suspension questions

    Griggs makes the best suspension kit if you're willing to spend $14,000. But seriously although I wouldn't call the Tokico D-Spec a coilover setup it's very good.

    Factory keyless/alarm problems??

    This may be a longshot but is it acting up after a rainstorm or anything? Some cars have have had a water leak in the cowl area allowing water to trickle down the passenger side kick panel into the smart junction box causing all kinds of electrical gremlins.

    4.10's with 26" tires are perfect for the 1/4 mile.

    Exhaust: Need help understanding how something works/functions

    Tests have shown no gains of over 5-6 hp on shorties. Longtubes with cats give gains in the range of 20-25 rwhp with a retune. I gained 16/100ths in the 1/4 mile without a retune on JBA Longtubes with cats.

    Whats it take to get in the 10s?

    Yup I'm on stock internals but I have a Teksid block here ready for a build. Some guys have run in the 10's for months before they blew up. Sooner or later it will catch up to you.

    Whats it take to get in the 10s?

    A supercharger or a turbo will get you into the 10's for sure. The problem is that it will be on the ragged edge of what the stock internals can handle. So the list goes something like this. Built shortblock Supercharger or turbocharger Fuel System Upgrades Suspension Upgrades Roll...

    Racing seat belts

    Racing seatbelts should not be used in a car without a rollbar. PERIOD In the event of a rollover collision the roof can collapse killing the occupant if they are firmly held in place with a 4 or 5 point harness. Most sanctioning bodies do not allow the use of harnesses without adequate...

    proper break in procedures

    I don't understand where you get the break it part from? I drive mine hard but there's a difference between driving it hard and abusing it. Let the car get up to temp before pushing it. Don't overrev it past 64-6500 since the concencus is 7000 for stock valvetrain. Shift firmly and quickly...

    My car is slow!

    Tell the guy at your dealership to keep away from any S197's. My Acura has dual runners not the S197's. what the CMRC plates do is partially block the runners at low rpm to increase velocity and swirl.

    valve cover oil leak

    I've had mine off the car a couple of times and have never had a leak. It's a reusable gasket with a little dab of silicone where the front cover meets the block. I would try tightening the valve cover bolts out of curiosity.
