trade it in and get a 6 cyl. working on a ford 4 is pointless. i guess you could get a giant wing and some flame stickers and call ita day though

If you don't know your cars power band from the factory. I would just go by the seat of your pants feel. As your engine climbs into the upper rpm range, you will notice a slight dropoff in power, usually when you get close to redline. Memorize that point and shift there, right where the power starts to drop off. If you wait to shift after the power band, you are just running your motor extra hard for nothing.

on the back of the triad there is a screw on lower tube this adjusts the velocity screwing in increases velocity out lowers it   and as a reminder please chrono check your marker and insure it stays below 300 feet per second

There is a gadget that is made called a launch controller that is made especially for boosted and NOS cars that will get you off the line sooner. Try doing a search to see if you can find one that suites your car. You can also try finding a different gear ratio if you haven't already. Give you quicker traction. Also play around with your tire pressure as well.

This will definitely improve your performance.  A light shower of water should clean out the dirt/sand (don't spray a super fast hose stream of water at the components or you could blast the grease out of the bearings).\n\nAfter washing it with a gentle stream of water, you should dry it, and then apply some wet lube (I use finish line personally) to the entire drive train.\n\nGood luck.

You can get a new exhaust system, cold air intake, you can put in some fuel additives, you can also buy a programmer to reprogram your factory computer.  Just google your car and whatever addition you want to find a good retailer.

It seems highly unlikely that your Honda has that kind of off the line accelleration, I know my 88 Civic, great as she is on the highway, takes 14 seconds to go from 0 to 60 on a good day and mine has no catalytic converter.

First off let me say, DONT DO THIS AT HOME!!!!\n\n1. Put vehicle in 1st gear (D1)\n2. Put foot on break and hold. \n3. Press gas all the way down. \n4. Let off foot from break when you get to like 4000 rpm. \n\nShould do a burn out as you say. It will also rip apart your transmission pretty quick. It could also cause you to have a very bad accident. You could die or kill others.

If the antenna is mounted the best way is to use a plumbob and a bubble level gauge. Or just the bubble level gauge with degree increments labeled. another way is to use a compass and a square against the front of the antenna. Hope this helps.

Talk to your dealer and find out what the ways that you can do it are.  Nice work on getting into that one.

I have done this recently on a Ford Escort - the principle will be the same although the location will vary.  Best bet is to get a 'Haynes' manual from a car accessory shop.\n\nBasically the starter should look like a cylinder with a smaller cylinder attached along the side of it with a single electrical connection (probably a push fit type).\n\nProcedure (based on a location low beside the engine).\n\nJack the vehicle safely (if you can't do this or are not sure then stop now!) so you can get to it.\n\nDisconnect the negative lead from the battery so you the electrics are dead (you do know the code for your radio dont you?)\n\nOnce you find the starter motor it should be a simple matter of undoing around 3 bolts and unplugging the power connection the pull the motor out (the 'cog' sticking out will need to be pulled out from where it meets the flywheel but this should be very obvious just don't force anything).\n\nFitting is just the reverse of the above - make sure the bolts are tight and correctly torqued (the Haynes manual i handy for the right torque [tightness]) and the electrical connection is back on.  Refit the negative battery lead and you should be up and running.\n\nHope this helps :-)

i had the same problem with my 91 lumina with a 3.1 multiport, one of the cylinders wasnt firing properly, so at about 45 mph she would really start shakin so i just drove around with it in a lower gear. might wanna check plugs,wires, power pack, and air filter, maybe even spray out throttle body.. if u have a schrader valve check fuel pressure while at it. could be exhaust related too if the cat is clogged.  just some ideas

Running at the drag strip? SIMPLE. Put it in "D"  Get staged,\nstep on the brake and floor the go pedal. When you get a green light release the brake and hold on. Don't forget to let up on the go pedal after you go to the end  (timing lights) Your car will shift when needed automatically

yeah get a new one(and dosent have to be k&n) walmart sells them, and then get the k&n charger kit($9.99) to help keep out the dirt and other small things that can get passed in to your motor without and oil from the charger kit.or get a new cold air intake off ebay for real cheep.

get some alluminun foil and make it into a long snake    wrap it around the antenna   if possible  physically extend the antenna   also haveing alot of alluminum foil nearby the antenna helps   if you have any high speed usb ports on your computer   plug the adapter into them
