lol @ ssautochrome mani, best bet it to take it off and get some braces welded up to it and get those cracks filled.

Yeah most who use SSAuto weld brackets. I have used their NA headers and never had a problem, turbo guys usually only have problems without brackets.

It's cracking because the walls of the pipe are too thin to put up with the stress of heat and vibration. All ssautochrome sells are OBX manifolds that have been "modified" to have a turbo flage welded on.

shittiest ever i was backfiring all the way down the track and couldnt get traction 13.5
03-28-2009, 03:31 PM
Echonova

I call bullshit @ shittiest ever.

No way 13.5 is your shittiest time ever in a Honda.

My CRX was putting 386 to the wheels on the second stage of Nos and best I ran was a 13.86. Of course, Tucson preps their track even worse than Comerce (if that's possible)... Spinning damn near the whole way.

i didnt say i spun the whole way?i spun for like half the 1/8 i went through the water????

i got the video and time slip to prove it

I said I was spinning the whole way.

All I'm saying is there is no way 13.5 is your worst time ever.

Let's fight about it.:ninja:

yeppers i like the mazda(and chevy) lineup

and depends on which honduhs. hell there are some mazda's faster than a honduh stock if you wanna play that game

and hell there isnt a single mazda or honduh stock that can beat a new z06 or even zr1 stock, not even close.

Well ok, there isn't a Mazda or Honda stock that can beat a Ferrari either. :screwy: Honda has cars that stock would give a new Z06 a good run for their money though. They just aren't sold here.

There's a Sonics in Bogart? Rly?

Slowest time in my honda was low 15 when it was bone stock. Not sure what I'd run now but I think I kinda "raced" u Redrumracer a while back. I've added a few things though. I'm pretty sure it was a good "race" though
