NF: Project Dark Knight

Sounds like we're gonna have ourselves a tire test

 

I'm a novice driver so I'm not too worried about out driving my car. Hopefully I can find these Federal tires and you can test them out and see what you think. Otherwise I will probably go with the Star Specs. It's not a dedicated track setup, so I'm not looking for the ultimate in track grip. Maybe next year I'll get a track specific set with really grippy tires.

 

But I heard you were the new poster boy for the new campaign


But on a serious note I hear what you're saying, it's just that I'm quite familiar with mr. Nuke's tuning style and how the power is being delivered. IMO part of the reason why the Star Spec were able to hold for 4 laps was because on this vehicle the power was peaking after 6k revs allowing the car to get up to speed with less chance of breaking traction. Well if all fails turn down the juice.

 

Oh, peak power is before that...sorry

 

i thought people wanted nice early torque curves? now it's too much? lol

 

oh they're still getting it.

 

That's what I just started silly

 

Too much as in cars wearing too small of a tire for their vehicles power. Something I know you can speak very intelligently about lol

 

Here's a quick video of me running through the gears after the motor swap. Boost up to ~26psi peak (25psi redline). Revving it out to around 7k.



It takes 4.42seconds to go from 50-100mph according to the video. The video from back when I was at ~23psi peak (20psi redline) took about 5.30seconds for 50-100.

 

that thing hauls ass, me and fuji fell behind

 

I think it is your exhaust. You better trade me for my SPT setup so you can be faster


Ben needs it this fast. He has to get the wife to the hospital in the next few days when the baby is born. He needs to make it there ASAP!

 

The more stock it is, the faster it is.

Lol.

 

Guess watching too much fast & furious made you feel like a pro
umadbro

 

well that's where the fun begins.

 

That's certainly one way to look at it. It's only fun until you start growing an agenda lmao

 

I'm in your face

 

Why is it that it's always my passionate religious brothers getting into the most heated debates.

 

SWAT came into my house, disrespected my whole family because somebody narc'd me out!

 

I never narc'd on nobody

 

I like where this is headed...

 

I'm not.... when you changing out trans and when am I finishing my car so we can re-run our first meet up?

 

Any time, any place, as long as it's for pink slips.

 

^ I like where this is headed.

 

Pinks=Badass

 

Totally saving this post! Ill take my time..no " too soon Jr." For me

 

2012 Summer Wheels! Went for the clean/OEM-style look. I opted for a 17x9" to save a little weight (vs. and 18x9.5"). I think they look great!

Mach V Awesome Wheels - 17x9" @ 17.8lbs
Dunlop Direzza Star Spec Tires - 255/40R17

 

Nice. I need some 255s...and I dig the placement of the sticker!

 

I like!

 

nice....

 

Thanks guys. I think my car looks even more "stock" with these than with the gold BBS's. Hopefully it blends in with the crowd

 

I'll be honest Ben, I dislike it
Looks like a civic hatchback on 13s

 

I like Civic hatchbacks!

 

Everyone but Nuke likes them. Can't win em all I guess

 

I hate subarus too, now what

 

I need to trade in!

 

Did you feel that vtec just kicked in hard yo!

 

I can't wait to be back in a Honda, although I was kind of looking forward to this summer in the WRX....

 

I did today. Got myself my very first car back. 83' civic.

I like the wheels
I don't like Nuke
