Xenonk Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 ah ok, looks pretty flat.. I was hoping it would be more hilly, like a change of 200 ft somewhere.. that would be fun. Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsalicru Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 I read somewhere that it DID have elevation changes... Im looking for it but can't find it now..

BOXRPWR Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I think it said something like 50 ft elevation changes, so yes, its pretty flat. But damnation, look at those long straights! Finally a place for my girl to really stretch her legs. 150 mph (bouncing near rev-limiter in 5th gear) here I come! Already signed up for Sat. April 22nd. Come on! Let's see more Leggies there.

Xenonk Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Finally a place for my girl to really stretch her legs. 150 mph (bouncing near rev-limiter in 5th gear) here I come! hit 160 mph by bringing it closer to the edge of bouncing the rev limiter with good throttle control, you'll get more mph that way or just run larger tires.

BOXRPWR Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 what it really needs it a 6th gear! I know this motor could pull to an aerodynamic limit close to 175-180 mph. let's hope the 2007 Spec.B really does come with a 6MT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this motor could pull to an aerodynamic limit close to 175-180 mph. let's hope the 2007 Spec.B really does come with a 6MT. To be honest, the STi 6 speed is kinda annoying.. the only gains you will get from it is the tall 5th and 6th... 1-4 are REALLY close... constant shifting.

BOXRPWR Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 then we'll have to see if the give the '07 Spec.B a 6MT with slightly different gearing than the STI. heck, they just might do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this motor could pull to an aerodynamic limit close to 175-180 mph. let's hope the 2007 Spec.B really does come with a 6MT. your car makes plenty of power, what you need is a new final drive.. sacrifice just a little acceleration for the top speed.. go from a 4.44 to a 4.11 and be happy!

phoboyjimmy Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 A couple of Honda guys I know went out to that track not too long ago. They said it was fun and definitely worth your time out there. The dirt part of the track (top middle of the picture) is now paved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
