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

Man, that gets me everytime.

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

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.

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

I'll be willing to bet my Honda would walk your Porsche.

Crank, but who's counting?

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

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.

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.

Im sure there is going to be ALOT of callout runs at Tunerfest

**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
