Not sure what his name is on here, but on nopistons.com it's SpeedMachine, and he's a sponsor over there. profile

i dont think it was "for show" i think he was usin it and didnt want to look like a tard at the end when he got his *** handed to him. but either way that civic was no match for the 7

someone should contact the '7 team that won the Civic and ask them. what confused me is how much the '7 bogged on the first race and they still lost by so much. it solidly trounced the civic in the other races, I don't see why he didn't make up much ground on the first run.

wasn't the rev limiter it's called 2nd stage it's a launch controller, it bilds boost before you launch. The new Evo 9's come with it.

not that a launch controller isn't real, but the way that civic sounded, high tone and harsh bounces, my guess is still on the rev limiter.

because according to full race they had problems with one of the connectors for teh intercooler and lost boost pressure toward the end without them knowing until later

they posted a whole **** talking thing on one of the honda forums when it all happened.

and that was like the first time matt ever drove that car on a real track

The civic had the 2-step launch control, but everyone knows that the 7 was sandbagging the WHOLE time. RWD>FWD anyday......but you guys have to see the CRX on pinks all out...made it to the final 4 but lost to a chevelle because he bogged at the line...

lol i think there were a few things that either mat or dave said that i though were hilarious but i love when full race was trying to pull the whole "its a 1.6 ltr" and matt and dave both were att "1.3ltr so?" classic.

but they were negotiating for distance and so on thats why the FC started so far back.

Yeah it was only 10lbs, but the last race I turned up the boost controller to 12.7lbs And the motor was built from spare parts and I was sincere about not caring if it blew up LOL

Glad you liked it, we had fun doing it for sure

It's not even worth the gas, for the RX7, much less the towing bill to get the piece of junk to their shop...

The best part of the race is when the 7 driver throws up "The Shocker" after winning.
