Amazing what you find when...
It's amazing what you find when you take things apart. At some point this year I had wrapped a bunch of black electrical tape around the intake pipe before the TB to try to get it to seal up tighter. Today, I removed the intake pipe and happened to look inside only to see that the tape had slid inside the pipe, allowing only a quarter-sized area thru which air could flow. Talk about restriction! So I guess I've been running with it this way for most of the AX season. Maybe I'll be faster next season!!

My car exceeds my driving ability. That's the only possible explanation.

Would this have helped cause the "Flame-O-Matic" issue Miatamoto was having with your car???
Damn, I can't wait to see how fast your car is without a restrictor plate. It was a real hoot to drive, even with the "flame-o-matic" option.

Please feel free to bring out your fancy, new Honduh to an autocross and see if you are faster than either of our 10-12 yr. old CSP cars.

Is this where you say your going to show up to an Autocross in '07?
I think the site really needs a counter where we can keep track of Honda zings.
It's where I say that I wasn't implying anything about his ability to go fast, but was merely pointing out that the car will be faster. It was meant to be a lighthearted bit of encouragement that, somehow, got interpreted as smack talking.
I've never been anything but humble about my own driving abilities. Insult the Honda all you want, but please don't start implying that I have ever bashed anyone's car or driving abilities on this board, because I haven't.

What I enjoy is that S feels he needs to address every one of the zings!I think the site really needs a counter where we can keep track of Honda zings.
Here we go again indeed!
I'm pretty sure he does that just for your enjoyment. It's really very thoughtful of him.What I enjoy is that S feels he needs to address every one of the zings!

I'm trying to help POS reach 10,000 posts.I'm pretty sure he does that just for your enjoyment. It's really very thoughtful of him.

Time for a Poll! Come on S! How many times will you come out this year. I'll stick my neck out and say I *will* be out for a minimum of TWO autoX events this coming year.

Hey, you guys lay off the honduh boys! I'll have you know that honduh makes a damn nice lawnmower! I have a '84 model and it still starts up on the first pull.

Not trying to be combative... but you might not want to call somebody out like that considering this...Please feel free to bring out your fancy, new Honduh to an autocross and see if you are faster than either of our 10-12 yr. old CSP cars.
Granted that could be all driver, but I know the names I put in there for comparison aren't slouches when it comes to AX
