I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Depends what clutch, what flywheel, which tires, etc.

My B16A in the CRX has stock flywheel, stockish clutch, and normal tires, so what I did was to release the clutch with just enough slip not to shock the tires into a spin, and away I went. It was only a little more gentle than side-stepping the clutch. But that was just for my setup, DA might need to feather a bit more since he has more torque down low than I do.

Something probably is wrong with the dist. is it's doing that when warm. If it's cold the redline is lower, just keep that in mind, not that you'd want to go very high on a cold motor.

I like it a lot, it's killer in a straight line, unfortunatley for it the Miata is better balanced and the more comfortable daily, so the CRX is up for sale. sigh. After the rex is gone I won't know real acceleration again until I turbo the Miata, but that won't happen unless I am forced to not autocross regularly. Gah, long story but yeah.
