Chubs Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Ahhh, I dunno how many people still post on here who will even remember me unless you are one of the select few who knew me many years ago when this forum literally first began. Anyways, I still own my 98 Prelude, accept now she is an all out SFWD NHRA drag car. A couple years ago I broke 6xxWHP at 5xxWTQ at 34PSI (Don't remember the actual numbers but they were pretty high for 2007) Well, she just broke 856WHP 723WTQ at 40PSI on my new motor/turbo setup. It's another H22, fully built, stroked, funky cam combo, Borg Warner S372 turbo, and much much more.. I haven't ran her in the 1/4 with the new setup but I am preparing to break a single digit pass sometime this summer! frack!!!!! My best trap so far was back in September 2010, she broke a 10:49@156MPH. Well here are some recent-ish photos of her, also just got finished with my cage, it was a 6-point for the last four years but I had to add onto it to make it a 12-point so it could meet NHRA certifications for my new class. Here is a few sneek peeeks!! If anyone has any questions feel free to ask.. Here are a few quick shots of my all-motor, High Compression 93cx hatch, she's my daily and I also run her in SCCA often. Just got finished stripping the entire thing and doing a full color change re-spraying everything "S2000 New Formula Red." Thousands of dollars in wheels and suspension alone. Wheels/Tires: OLD SCHOOL and all original Enkei J-Speed's 15x9 +20 offset W/ Yokohama Advan neova's and Rays lug nuts. Suspension: P.I.C. (Power in control) select 16-way adj. coilovers (Very difficult to get!), Buddy Club P1 upper camber plates, ASR subframe brace, ASR 32mm hollow sway bar, STR end links, Skunk2 pro-series rear LCA's, EM-Racing C-pillar bar, EM rear 4-point strut tower bar, EM front 3-point strut tower bar, tons and tons of other crap I don't feel like typing!

Tubbith Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I've moved on from wanting to build cars, to wanting to build a truck. Just tried of sitting on the ground and gettin less than 20 MPG. Maybe I should just get rid of my Acura 3.0CL and buy an old Honda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubs Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 To the young fellow just starting out, go with your heart man and do your homework, take your time on choosing your first ride man because you want to make it something special! Believe it or not, my prelude is the first car I ever bought and owned, I have had her for eight years now and she has gone through TONS of changes throughout the years man and now making more power and torque than anyone ever thought it could make. Even though she is now a trailer queen and only runs on the track or at the occasional street race fueled from crap talk, my greatest achievements are made through her! Even though I have other projects my prelude will always be the one that I will own till I die. I have seen friends buy and sell cars like you wouldn't believe, most of the time loosing out because they lost interest or didn't have the guts to finish a project and it's sad to know what could have been. My prelude speaks for itself and is a RARE and unlikely piece especially in the sport compact world of drag racing. Usually you see vehicles much lighter (civics, integras, etc.) but I never let that shoot me down, I just had to focus on weight reduction and lots of torque! Horsepower is on thing, but torque is what will really get you down the track. Take your time man, it will pay off in the long run! By the way, the pretty K-motor gun metal hatch, yeah thats a K20R and trans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
