I woudln't recommend using that Armor All either. It leaves a residue and can actually cause your interior and such to dry out. The best thing to use to clean interior plastics and all is just plain water.

i dont believe the times you have posted in relation to the mods you have posted... unless you are saying you went 15.5 with full slicks??? if so ... eh never mind ill just say nothing.. what slicks were they.. what rim were they mounted on?? slick size..?? i think you are making too little power to need "race slicks" i further think a tire like that would bog you more than help you... please fill in the blanks for me..Neoburge said:
at the strip huh...so is that thing quick??
as with most hondas... it got nothing off the line. I wasnt the one driving with the slicks... and they werent my slicks either... a local around here who owns a 92 hatch with a engine swap he runs low 14's.. he had a pair and we just threw em on the del sol at the track.. and did a pass.. he came back and said 15.5's i was like.. sweet.. (i was in the stagin lanes behind the tower in heartland park where you cant se the ET jumbo trons downtrack. I hope he wasnt lieing.. the best tIME That I got was 16.6 @ 84 (mostly it depends on how i launch it.. I wasnt ever launching it right but joh kundy (one who ran my car with slicks) is always out there with his hatch) he also owns a del sol he wanted to sell to me before i found this one. but I know he runs the s**t outa his cars every time he takes em to the track.. (this made me a little uneasy when I handed my keys over) oh and the 16.6 is with the 205 40 r 17's .. its still slow.... SOHC POWA!.
Oh 1 more thing. the owner befor me obviously put some ecu upgrades in this car or chips or something.. my car redlines at 8100-8200 and it kicks with vtech around 5'500

i think 15.5 in that car is BS.. just letting you know..
btw.. this wouldn't happen to be your crew would it?
if not maybe you should try to get in?? i mean yeah youd have to go from red to yellow.. but everyone knows yellow is faster..

hell no Im not bsing.. I didnt see a reason kundy would lie to me when he said it ran a 15.5 but i didnt see the slip for it. so why not go with 16.6 for now... until i buy myself some slicks.... cuz every time i want to use his (hes got a pair of cheater slicks to for the street.) he bitches and says.. I ONLY use the slicks.. I have no idea why but he does not get to drive this car any time soon.. litle prick.

Welcome new guy... hope you enjoy you stay here!
Nice car, though i'm not diggin the front bumper or the wing. But don't about worry what i think! Also, the drop looks great, but like others have said, you should really get proper lowering springs. for safety-sake.
At least you race though and that's a good thing. There's a ton of ricers out there that talk s**t but when push comes to shove and it's time to hit the track they all puss out. So definately props to you for that!
16.6 is decent for now... just keep practicing and get your launch down and you should be able to pull at least a 16.0.
