    Thanks!
    Hopefully this winter will be a transformation. Looking to put a stage 2 cam in the car, switch it over to manual. Then I'll be around the 130-140whp range and no more auto. On top of that I'll be finally adding a sway bar to the rear of the car. Hopefully then I'll be able to run with you guys haha.

    Jeff, that's a great time for a first time out. What all have you done to your car?
    mp62 running so rich i falled all my plugs. flexes, 225/45/15 2 year old ra-1. so mostly a normal 2002 with ~70 more hp and more grip.


    and going to the track always a friendly competition and it way more fun when your chasing down people, even more fun when you leave the pits for warm up and the guy in front is waving you by knowing your just going to be on his ass at turn 1 =P

    Ben, I don't know much about what you've already done to your car, but have you considered just switching to another car (maybe a Civic Si) that's already set up closer to your desired end state?

    It might be cheaper, and if you get the same gen you s/b able to swap out your performance parts.

    Vette was nice and fun but fell through. I'm really comfortable with the civic.

    I've considered it. The SI in my year is a hatch and 90% of the parts won't swap over. To go back to stock would be difficult.

    Pics are up from Saturday's S2KCA event. I might actually buy some of these. Nice to see pics of cars on the track with motion blur.

    Nice driving, Ben. What kind of camera setup are you using? I like the picture/audio quality.

    But anyways, I have a few more vids including where I lost brakes, but I just wanted to get this one up last night for a site that said there was no way a little civic could pass a Porsche even if it was a 78 model. Anyways, I'll get some more up tonight, for some reason they are taking forever to upload to photobucket.
