@mySIck
Nothing like new shoes! Let us know what you think.
btw, tirerack was blowing those Pole Positions out for $100 each... had to buy some. So those are my 17" second set, which i just put on. They seem softer, quieter, more comfortable. Haven't pushed them yet. Don't seem as responsive as PSS. Initial bite isn't there. But can they be pushed... what were your experiences?

And to think the srt-4 does over 160+ in 100% stock form. I do think the Honda r model is any faster , in fact I know it isn't. Its got .4 l more engine and is not set up to monitor gas but use gas instead as in 30 min the whole 12.5 gals tank is gone at 6,000 rpm at 6500 rpm even less time to empty. 15 years old and still unbeaten LOL!

More on the 71R (extreme) Pole Position (max) and the newer S007A meant to bridge the gap between max and extreme.

Was reading autoblog and came across a statement from Honda warning modders about compromising the longevity of their engines. The first article is below.

The timing of this warning from Honda could be important, as it seems to pertain especially to the newer turbo charged engines. Makes sense. The older 2.4 N/A design had some basic displacement to work with. These smaller 1.5 engines? Not so much. So when modders want more HP and TQ they're forced to boost the heck of 'em.

The article even mentions how the clutch begins to slip at higher levels of boost and suggests a clutch upgrade might be necessary. (Ya think?)

We've all seen how Honda's engine designs, historically, have played right into the modder's hands. Or, if left bone stock offers an incredibly reliable machine that will last a decade... or two. But with only 1.5 to work with, Honda finally feels a need to warn modders about the limitations of expecting too much from too little:

Yeah the new type r is so slow it's breaking lap records all over.

Honda Civic Type R Is The New King Of Front Wheel Drive - Lord Of The Ring: 7:43.8
On April 3, the new Civic Type R performed a “time-attack attempt,” as Honda likes to call it, and took down the record with a time of 7 minutes and 43.8 seconds, thus improving on the Golf GTI Clubsport S’ record by more than three seconds. At the same time, it’s almost seven seconds faster than its predecessor.

In a variety of tests, the latest Honda Civic Type R is proving to be among the best front-wheel-drive performance cars on the market. To affirm the hot hatch's capabilities once again, Honda's new CTR now holds the the lap record around France's Magny-Cours Grand Prix circuit for front-drive production cars.

Another Day, Another Civic Type R Track Record, This Time At Estoril
Honda has bagged yet another track record with the latest Civic Type R, this time at Portugal’s Estoril race track.

all hail the neon though

Interesting how @sunofwolf has been quiet since his bull-**** claims have been debunked and being called out for his over-zealous stroking of his beloved Neon SRT-4.

 

[mySIck]

I am not going to lie I am impressed he has gotten an SRT4 to last this long. That thing should be worth more than Michael Jordan's shoes he played in at UNC.

[sunofwolf]

all you have to add is boost to srt-4 and that iron racing block is not going to blow up 50-60, do that to a Honda engine and see what happens -Boom done!

 

[sunofwolf]

srt-4 is not yet for sale try more like $8,000 -$9,000 or more

 

[mySIck]

Who needs an iron block when you can go CSS or Darton sleeved.

 

[sunofwolf]

Idk about that!! they have a 4 cylinder shoot out where the DC2 ITR and EK9 Destroyed the competition. The USDM CTR is much faster than the SRT4.

Never heard of this rubbish!
