This civic and the last civic, How do you not tell your not getting full boost.I expect that from the first civic but full race....

it was getting full boost, but just leaking so much it was not efficient boost.

kind of like if your @ 10 psi when your throttle is only at 30% vrs 100% it makes a HUGE difference because of efficency.

the car didnt even have a boost gauge thats part of the reason they didnt know it was a coupler. they even check the couplers and the tear was just in the right spot that they couldnt see. who knows and who really cares.

Seems like you do. So the great full race team couldnt install a gauge. Scholar move

pretty sure they can install a boost gauge. its more of hte fact they didnt care to. when you own an actuall business of your own. you will nkow what advertisement means. thats all they built the car for. they didnt care if they won or lost.

No, the great Full-Race team lost becuase they build unreliable turbo kits using cheap parts that break easily. ;)

Oh yea, that is great advertisement. Losing on a television show that is seen all over and losing becuase they were too lazy to install a boost gauge and not smart enough to figure out there was a leak. Don't say that they didn't care if they won or lost. If they had known they were going to lose going into it, they never would have been in the show. When you own a business of your own....you will know what it means to waste money. ::)

Guarantee that show still increased sales, for them and all the companies on the car

People want fast Hondas, most cant do it themselves, Cali kids have parents money to burn, "ring ring Full-Race"

I'll be watchin the show for sure

500+ whp on a dseries is still awesome for the LITTLE money they had into it.

sorry if it was already mentioned, but that civic was painted flat black the day it was brought home, then put on ebay within a week or so. i dont understand how you sell a garbage hatch setup for 7k lol jus cuz it was on pinks. the motor wasn't worth much, so the 7k was for the turbo kit n chassis which was theft recovery or whatever. i can't wait to watch this

Yes and I own my own business too. You don't THROW MONEY AWAY to make money. Guess we will have to see the episode to see what it is really about. I just don't see it as a good business move. I am still referring to the fact that they did not bother to install a boost gauge and the fact that having that bit of info could have netted them a win...which would have been really good foro business.

lemme see if i can pick up some info from rx7 club.

Um, what? nevermind... hah

So a little birdie told us today to expect to see it as episode 8 (the last one of the season go figure) which will be on around the first week of freaking April!

Geez, producers are killing me here...

Anyway, they can say the NOS didn't work, whatever. The system was charged and able to purge. The solenoids worked when I pulled them off their car to keep them and put them on mine :D Either way, the $7k I got for selling their hard work sits fine in my wallet ;)

BTW, I am selling the car after the show airs if anyone is interested. Not sure if I am going to do a silent auction, or post it on the forums or ebay it. Depends I guess how it looks when the time comes.

Apparently they won't show our episode until the end of the season because it is supposed to be the best episode they shot, and will draw the most audience. blah blah blah. I guess there will be alot of the guys from Honda-Tech jocking the stinky pinky as it gets handled...even with our less than perfect driving (you'll see when you see the race lol)

Anyone else notice something funny?......
Oh yeah, our cars AND their car in our parking lot :D

more info.


Speed Machine PINKS Episode Party
On April 5th, our episode of PINKS will debute. Everyone is welcome to come to our episode premier at The Blvd in San Marcos, CA (San Diego County) We will start showing up around 7pm or so, and the episode is supposed to air at 9:30pm. The bar holds 100 people in the area with the TV's, so first come first serve on seating. The overall bar is much bigger but I figured that would be a good sized venue, and it is cheap for us to rent

So plan for showing up between 7pm and 9:30pm, and after the show we will hang out and get drunk probably, so feel free to hand out afterwards, or if you have to work the next day, you can still come, watch and make it home to get a good nights sleep!

Address and info below. Hope to see some of you guys there!

Full race did another episode. I think it was a CRX w/ a B16 vs some crazy ass bug.

Full-Race hands it to them pretty good. Vids etc were posted on HT a while ago. As much as I hate FR and their overpriced ----, they are certainly making money and getting their name out there. According to both HT threads of both cars they built for the show, they made these cars out of crap laying around (stock d, some old ass B, and assorted ---- they had around the shop).

Thats not flywheel. It just says it is, but if you go ASK the tuner (jeff evans) you would know more

Its wheel.

Was that the H22 powered Hansport CRX? I didn't see any full hype ---- on their car.

Random hero, I'm pretty sure that if the 509whp was right, you could prove it. You can't, so get off their nuts. There's no proof, and if it did make 509 whp, don't you think it would be all over the internet?

Thats why after i looked into it i didint say anything after the graphs where posted, looks like your trying to add fuel to a flame that was burnt out..

509whp was on a different D series with a gt35r.

Why dont you get off my nuts ?

The hasport car had a stock GSR that made a shitload of power. it holds the record on h-t for highest stock block hp and i think but not sure it was 476whp on 20psi on c16

yea, who cares. that hasport crx was crazy, @ the pinks event it was running 23 pounds, stock gsr bottom end and b16 head with 2 head gaskets stacked. i talked to locash the other day and he said the compression is still perfect
