Nice one Mike
Goood to see this finally out, what engine setup have you in in now... Looking forward to seeing what times it does in Bishopscourt

[rovermike2011]

Thanks paul the engine set up is b18 type r 82mm pistons 13-1 compression full skunk 2 head with pro2 cams 440 injectors 70mm throttle body type r inlet ported out harmonic damper
lighted flywheel stage 2 clutch traction bar rebuild cable gearbox
ap-performce build the engine and done the engine wiring loom
abbeyshrule is 330 hundred feet short of a quarter of mile my best time was 10.7 in the rain
no bad for my frist time out with the new engine
i'm trying work out what would be in a proper quater mile probably in low 13s or high 12s i known next year in bishop court
old honda's never die they just get faster

Great power, is it a Y1 box you have in it?

What tires you running? It should be good for low enough 13s, 12s are very hard to get to with a NA road car but its definitely manageable with a good setup

[rovermike2011]

yea paul its y1 i think its ideal for drag racing
before i put in the y1 box i try the 4.4 and 4.7 gearboxs in the crx
just to see which is better i found the yi with the longer fd and gears was better
The reason i went with this set up was the times you're self and steve got with 1600cc cable gearbox 13.4 and 13.3
i was thinking what if you had a
bigger engine with more power with cable gearbox surly i might get into 12s it be very intersting yo see what happens next year
I ran maxi sport road track tyres in abbeyshrule
next year i run slicks

Steve ran his time on a Y1 non LSD box

I had an LSD Y1 in mine but it was grinding and was holding me back, after doing a trackday too the Y1 ratios didn't suit so went for a YS1 with ITR internals and a 4.7.. It really didn't suit for 1/4 miles but was savage for track which I prefer..

Your setup and Y1 should drop you into 12s alright with the right conditions
