Nothing New to Report

Hello fellow Honda lovers!

It's been too long since I have updated my dear old blog. I wish that I had some fantastic news to report but I don't. My high compression y7/y8 engine is running great at least. My Bisi Beaver header is doing just fine and hasn't cracked. I've put about 1000 street miles on my old '88 this summer. I haven't burned any oil nor coolant. I'm glad at least that my engine has been acting like a Honda and is extremely reliable.

My windshield cracked a lot more as there was some major hail storms in my area. Now there is no way in hell tech would pass me at either 1/4 mile track. Hell if I were the tech guy I wouldn't pass my car due to the three long cracks spreading across the windshield.

I haven't been able to get much work done to my Civic since my Jeep is falling apart. 240,000 miles and its nickle and diming me left and right. First the water pump, now the U joints, the muffler came apart inside, the catalytic converter is rattling, and I need a new CPS sensor. Ughhhh. Just when I thought I was going to make it to the track, something had to come up.

So my dreams of going to the track this year are at a halt at the moment. I am disappointed in myself that I wasn't able to get my goals accomplished at this point in time. Shit happens and it happened a lot so far this summer. I can't and won't let all of my goals go down the toilet. If I cannot make it to the track, I am definitely going to do three pulls at my local dyno for $50 bucks.

Once I get that done, I will post the dyno charts. I am looking forward to at least seeing what my power curve looks like.
