what’s more chumpy than a free harbor freight voltmeter gauge. \*- with coupon
in our other car the belt came off the alt. and the driver noticed the voltage dropping off and came in. Harbor freight saved the day!

I saw a rabbit heading to the Glen on Friday and couldn’t help but to laugh that their rain tires were Michelin X-Ice snow tires. Haha.
I’m sure that race weekend was quite a handful!

Nice, is there a reason why more people race DA tegs and not DB or DC models.
Is it because they are cheaper?

DA are a lower valued car so you can mod them more and they’re like 98% as fast and good as the newer ones.

nope
> According to [Hondatuningmagazine.com](http://Hondatuningmagazine.com) Less than 5,000 units produced for both the U.S. and Canada, the 1992-93 Integra GS-R is considered by Honda enthusiasts to be a true classic. It was a standout amongst the influx of hot hatches and sport compacts that seemed to assault the U.S. market in 90s. In 1992-93 the Integra received minor cosmetic changes and updates. In the US a GS-R(DB2) model was added to the line up. It received a DOHC VTEC B17A1 engine with a slightly longer stroke then the B16A. The B16A engine received new intake manifold and cams and raised the VTEC engagement point (now 5500 rpm). The B17A1 engine found in the '92-93 GS-R model featured a 1.7L, DOHC VTEC powerplant that produced 160hp/117lbs-ft tq with an 8,000rpm redline and a VTEC crossover point of 5,500rpm

I left the blower motor & heater core in my race car to avoid all this.
