The everylasting project is coming to completion. My 92 civic was finally fired up the week of the idrc event in san antonio. Since this was one of very few events here in texas the decision was made to put it on the dyno with 50 miles on the new motor. After a few dyno pulls, the car rested at 439 hp @ 319 ft/lb @20 psi Due to some ignition problems we let the car rest and didnt want to push our luck since I wanted to make the event in san antonio. With no seat time in the car since the makeover began almost 8 months ago it was sure to be an eventful event! Sure enough it was too! The pro-am fwd class didn't make so we were notified that we were being shoved into the Quick class along with the pro am rwd. Wasn't so bad because most of the quick class was at the nopi event. The first day of qualifying I was fighting my driverside charge pipe since it kept blowing off and then i discovered that my #1 plug wire was not completely plugged into the distributor which was causing my car to misfire. After some of those minor issues were resolved I ended the event as a runner up and took home a few dollars and a trophy. My best time for the weekend was a 11.31 @ 126.6 mph... Not bad I thought for my street cars' first time at the track. A pic of my car is on the idrc web site (top right).
This weekend I decided to drive to the track since my tunner was out there with his 6 sec camaro. Randy my sponsor/builder was there and he just happened to drag jason (st00pid) out there with him. After a couple of mid/low 11 sec passes, lawrence made a couple of changes to the ecu.. It was the last run of the night and i gave the keys to jason to see what the changes would do. The tire pressure was dropped to 8.5 from 12. He lines up with a late model black nitrous powered vette on slicks. The lights drop and the vette gets an instant 2 cars as jason crashes thru the gears with an outstanding start. You can hear the 24.5" tires struggling to keep traction. 1-2-3 were flawless. By the beginning of 3rd they are neck and neck and the vette starts to run out of steam.. My car kept charging ahead and by mid 4th a hickup occured and the run was aborted but by that time the race was over and the spectators were ranting and raving Jason came around and handed in a nice looking time slip (props for the driving):
r/t: .84
60': 1.72
1/8: 7.02
mph 104.2
1/4: 10.88
mph 116.56
keepin mind my car was trapping 126-127 the whole night I am very please with the second showing of my car. I still have a few bugs to work out starting with ignition which will be upgraded to a digital 6+ and secondly a reengineering of my fuel delivery system which was not addressed from the first time I did it.
Many many thanks to Randy Hughlett for all his hard work and dedication to making this project a true success. Our goal by the end of the season will be to hit a 9.9 which I feel is well within reach! Many many pics to come soon or look up attituderacing.com for a preview of the buildup.

WHOA!!!
Congrats! I went to the Import drag site and tried to spot your car (Kept looking fo the RED civic, though). I saw the one on the top right and then went to Randy's site and noticed that you had it painted. I'm still waiting for a ride, though...
I have something for you that might make your "pedal work" a better - We need to get them to you somehow.
BTW, When are you going to get a best run slip your car actually ACCELERATING through the end of the 1/4? [img]tongue.gif[/img]
