SBZ Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 We had nothing to do on Saturday and this is the result..... I have a bunch of videos, but this is what I have uploaded so far. You'll see that as soon as I come on boost I have to back off, and hold around half throttle to keep the wheel spin to a minimum.......holding it all out even into 4th would mean just too much wheelspin. Enjoy, I'll post more as I upload them. (for those that want to download, some of them are on my friends site - http://www.berminator.net/other ) this is 1st,2nd and not a full go in 3rd. http://www.zippyvideos.com/788875052372149..._-_3rd/original This was JonothanP's vid......his reaction had me laughing for ages http://www.zippyvideos.com/276365293372302...i_0856/original This was just a 3rd gear pull coming off an onramp....more wheelspin. http://www.zippyvideos.com/700864801373990...d_gear/original This video kind of shows how much you have to hold to the steering wheel... http://www.zippyvideos.com/993979549374012..._-_3rd/original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBZ Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 really sweet minor question on on the dials how did change them with out effecting the accuracy of them? an was there a limiter? The guy who did the interior did the clocks for me......they are exactly the same numbers, just changed to white dials so no calibration needed. The Prelude's limiter is set at around 9000rpm. no prob...i run bar in my STi so that's why i knew lol. lol sweet also, what are the temps like where you live? go to a nice cold place with freezing temps, and you will be in HEAVEN. turbo loves cold weather. I live on the coast in Durban, about 30kms from the beach, pretty high up (Hillcrest)so it gets pretty cold here in winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfinitePrelude Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 when i go to car shows cruises i often find im the only one with the prelude is it like that where you are? i think my uncles south africa hmm i'll ask him later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBZ Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 Pretty much......most of the guys here are cruising in Civics, CRX's etc. I thought I'd go a little different and use the Prelude for my project car. Now that its done, I have a DC2 ITR in the driveway for the next project, my daily driver is a Civic so I have a nice spread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBZ Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 I would'nt worry about that......right suspension setup, tires and a good LS diff can sort that as good as you can get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
