hey guys, i've been hitting the track a little more frequently and i've been getting more practice in. i've succesfully dropped my quarter mile time by almost a whole second just by learning to drive my car.
the first time i went to the track ever, i ran about a 16.1 i've slowly moved into 15.6 and 15.5. a few weeks ago i was able to hit 15.41. yesterday i broke into 15.38 with a bit of a peelout at the tree. i'm pretty confident i can hit 15.2 if i keep trying.
i'm saying this in case anyone wants to know what a relatively stock prelude can do at the track. i have some mods: intake, clutch/flywheel, and "header" ... but the headers are broken (the flexpipe snapped), i'm having a slight misfire in cylinder #1, and my engine is old (111k miles) so yea, driving is a huge part of your times and i'm sure a newer engine can probably run just as good with absolutely no mods, or maybe even better.

wow thats awesome...its good to see someone taking the time to figure out how to drive the car rather than just adding more bolt-ons to cover the lack of driving skills

With the mods you have, you could actually be on your way to a high 14.
