The only time I was shifting was entering the main straight into 4th gear, (WOT all the way down topping out at about 120ish) and back into 3rd into the Big Bend. (The track runs clockwise in this picture)
So revs were high for a long time and I saw the limiter a few times. Going into the straight, the Diving Turn, (before the straight) I often found myself having to shift in middle of the the turn.
I go more into detail later when I make a thread about my track day with pics and ****.
I thought this was funny. I guess Ive been saying this for years and hadn't even realized it! Notice the date, the pic in the sig was taken at the track in August 09. The track is addictive, I just keep coming back for more.

Drift said:You had no problems because you used an ECU from an accord. The prelude immobilizer system is entirely different. When they first came out they had a Red Key. This Red key was not be used but was to stay in a little plastic case, and only used
for programing. If the red key was lost, then to get the immobilizer system to program properly, you have yo replace the ECU and immobilizer, (and ignition switch) in order for things to actually work.
And yes. About $4-5k.

Drift said:Alex already pulled the car into the shop to do the comp test and its waiting in a bay for me to start the tear down. Ill be pulling the motor tomorrow and getting as much done as I can. This really wont have been as
big a deal had I not just bought the Galant. Im pretty much broke right now, and Ill probably have to put most of this on the credit card and get raped later down the road to the tune of 19%. (I need to switch cards,
thats another story for another day.)
I guess and hour and a half of 7k rpms will kill a ring of two, I had to learn the hard way.

I dont have the kit on this motor, its NA. With my gear box, 90% of Lime Rock is the very top of 3rd gear.BlackCurrantKord said:Sucks man. Were you spraying or just revving too high?
19%? Geez....mine's 5%
