The Dyno is not far from Ashland at all. Just north on I71 at the 303 Brunswick exit.
I'd like for you to stop up anytime and check out the shop. You could check out my daily beater witch got out of hand. (92 accord stock engine, turbo, meth injection, should be on the dyno shooting for 300whp by friday)
Big3racing.net is the website and the address is on there.
Mike, Do you know when your scheduled on coming home? Are you still planning to retire when you get back?
I would love to swing up sometime, actually just talk SR into bringing Mikes car up there and we can go from there. I know dyno time is expensive but I think it's important to figure out what's up soon before something goes wrong. I don't however think it's detonation so that's a good thing but then again I'm not a datalogger lol.
As soon as I get healthy I will try to cruise up someday, if you're open on saturdays that would be great. I work at Pepsi and I'm off on tue, sat, and sundays. I love getting the lude out for little road trips I think it would be fun.
Maybe it can get tuned up before the big Ohio Prelude Owners meet at Mid-Ohio this summer, I'll see what I can do...
That's a new picture I didn't get yet I think. There should be some pictures of all three angled where we were standing on some bleachers looking down on them also.
Whats this Prelude Owners meet you talk of? I live about 10 min max from the track is that where it is, in Lexington?
Do you think your pops would be interested in taking it to the dyno at Hondabawbs with me? I don't know how much time it would take to get it retuned but shoot I'd be willing to pay for an hr of your dyno time just because I want it fixed that bad.
With as much money you've invested I'd hate to see something go drastically wrong that could have been prevented with a few hrs in the right hands.
Out of all the pictures your sis took she got none of my new wheels lol. In the picture where all three are angled the same looking at the front look how much lower mine sits with 16 inch tires instead of my old 17 inch toyos. I'm glad I went back to the stock size and to be honest it handles better than it did with bald 17's anyways haha.
Here's a couple good pictures I got today. The one Lauren photoshopped for me is awesome I just can't get it to upload.
I talked to your dad I think it was thursday and he was supposed to be finding out some details on getting your car to Hondabawb where you didn't have to worry about spending your money because we know you need to save it for your wedding coming up. I just hope it's tuned up for the meet also. I will probably go to maybe the car show just for something to do but I'm not participating in everything.

Good luck with it. And keep it running in good condition.
Yeah, unfortunately the forums are most active in 5th gen, and second most in 4th, but I guess that's to be expected, as the others are older, and that much less likely to be in healthy running condition.
Aww, it's okay, James (jz1219) here is not too knowledgable of a guy in the first place (which he should be because he's aZn). I mean, he can post lots of pictures, but in truth, he's "owned" many of these cars in the past, but they're usually salvage titles that he fixes up, or just buys on the cheap, then when he gets bored with them, he'll sell them off. His "$100,000" stable of cars really is more like half or a third of that when it's all said and done, and it fluctuates as he sells them and gets another one. There's really no financial gain in selling a Civic HB or DC2 Integra for the same price it took to repair it all after purchasing broken, or just buying the whole thing with a salvage title still existing on it. But he is afraid that if anyone knows this, it'll cut down on his "baller" status and he will get hated on.
