Nice rev-limiter. =P You on the RT215s?
On a couple of your runs it sounded like you were coasting into a manuever. It may be the car/exhaust...Do you Left foot brake?

Your link is wrong, but I found the video any way Good thing I can spell your name.

If thats the outside shot of the same run, that would be AMAZING to see side by side.

It would be even cooler if you had a G-Meter infront of the in-car-camera so people could read what G's your generating as you run. Well at least I'd like it h:

Thanks for posting these videos, Mike


EDIT: Just a thought, Could you tell us how you think this green civic compares to your '00 one? It's an interesting topic to hear the pros and cons of different cars or setups.

Hrm I thought I fixed the link last night, weird.

G meters - bah Only you would be interested. Probably pulling about .9-1.0 Gs I'm guessing. I've ridden in a 1986 CRX Si that won CSP at Nationals 3-4 times and it was mentioned that it ran over 1.0Gs.

And as far as my 91 vs 00 there's no comparison. I definitely have to brake alot earlier in my 00, but I can brake HARDER than my 91. The brakes on the 00 Si are much larger and the master cylinder is alot better. Power delivery is definitely nicer in the 00 than my 91. Feels like the 91 takes forever to accelerate out of the hole.

But once you get the 91 going it's like a little go-kart. Considering that my 00 is about 400lbs heavier than my 91. That's like carrying 4 people in my 91. Plus I'm using the same width tires on both cars, so that would mean the 91 can use more of the tread effectively because of being lighter.

I think if I did some more tuning on the 00 I could get it within a second or so of my 91 but it's not worth it anymore.

I remember when mine used to understeer like that, annoyed the shit out of me, so hard to control. Now the LSD coupled with the twitchy rear steer makes me feel like a good driver. Are you locking your brakes when it is squealing? Does one side always lock for you too? I wish mine were strong enough to lock, they'll barely lock in the rain even if I stomp on them. I want to get out to an event so bad before I lose my license.

Nice vids. :thumbup:
