My car doesn't seem like it is running where it should be. My roommate drives a stock 99 neon expresso and we raced the other day and I didn't feel fast enough compared to him. I was able to take him from a stop up to 90, but I don't think I had more than 2 cars on him. We played around a few times and once we started right at the beginning of my 3rd gear VTEC and I didn't really start pulling on him until about 6-6.5K.
What do you guys think. I have a 94 Prelude VTEC and about 20K miles ago I had the bottom end rebuilt. I replaced my spark plugs last semester and I've got some plug wires on the way, but they probably won't do anything. I'm thinking about getting a compression test done to see if I'm healthy or not.....
What kinds of things should I start looking at/replacing? I'm waiting on my wires and a new fuel filter, but unless I have problems right now, they won't really help. I have 95K on the car, could the distributer be getting weak?
I guess what it really comes down to is, do I have a slow prelude or does he have a fast neon... I've raced stangs and my bro's modded GS-T and faired very well against them, but I just had my car worked on, maybe its slower, but it really doesn't feel that way.
Any inspiring words of hope anyone can give me?
