"...your Honda engine has to the wheels."

Man, that gets me everytime.

**Deaf Pimp** · 07-19-2006, 10:10 AM

Not for me... unless you torque your wheels to 160ft-lbs!

**The Green Monster** · 07-19-2006, 10:11 AM

Is that to the wheels or to the crank?

**civic95** · 07-19-2006, 10:31 AM

I never really understood that. Same thing applies to most economy cars. Hell even my bike.

Actually lets make this a TRUE statement. Our TL makes 238 ft-lbs. Come over, and I'll torque your lugs to that. Don't blame me if the studs snap.

Crank, but who's counting?

Are you torquing your wheels 130lb-ft for the Porsche?

If you want to play the torque game, we can see how well the ~450ft-lbs in my car hold up.

No, around 96lb-ft in the Porsche and 98lb-ft in the Rover.

**TheSnail** · 07-19-2006, 10:58 AM

Im the only one that walks on foot, so I lose the torque game, but I would be the closest to the actual tq spec.

What's that have to do with a Honda?

**iloveboost** · 07-19-2006, 11:48 AM

Track or street.

We can do a 40-120mph run if he's going to TunerFest this Saturday. I'll also be running at TunerFest.

I start to wimp out after about 120.

At 120mph, there would be no question as to who the winner would be.

**RedGTS** · 07-19-2006, 11:56 AM

^ what is your top speed? just curious

**Vteckidd** · 07-19-2006, 11:57 AM

no idea, never did a top speed pull, with his gearing and power he could do 200mph, although i doubt his chassis woud hold up

I'll run from a dig in the 1/4 mile this weekend if he's game.

I'm not in it to run in the mountains.

Bleh, the next car will be more well versed. TT C5 Z06.

630whp, 9,500RPM revvin' Hondas are fun.

I hate it when slow cars always pull the "I'll take you in the mountains!" card.

Last time I checked, the closest thing we have to a mountain in Georgia is Stone Mountain, and I don't think anyone's going Tokyo Drift on there anytime soon.
