with the mileage and all when was your last tune up? your mpg seems off and considering your power reduction i would say. new ignition, sparks plugs, cap, rotor, wires. then also consider your air filter. when was your last oil change? these being bad can really kill performance and mileage. also do you notice any rough idling with the car?

If you really want to make it significantly faster, I can help you locate a really nice nitrous setup.

hi,Vipers4Life:
do u mind to tell me how it feel like when it''''s slipping...... mine feels funny sometime when go downhill or uphill.. it''''s like lost power for a second and then everything is fine. but I paid special attention to the rpm when it happened, rpm doest change. so I really dont know waht is th deal and tried to convince myself that''''s how Honda rolls..........
For me what it does is when I first start driving it when it goes to shift into 2nd it will slip into neutral for like a second then go into 2nd gear. So usually when the tranny slips it generally goes into neutral. I''m sure if you search up tranny problems on here you''ll find a lot of them.

^ He''s a hustler, be careful!
just kidding. Great kit for the $$$.
I think we just might be dealing with the fact that Honda''s are not Formula 1 cars... at least not the ones us consumers can purchase.

A lot of people are making posts like they intend to augment at 100HP or above. At this level, the gas part of the wet system can pool, throwing off the A/F majorly ..... leading to engine damage or death. Direct port is mandatory for this kind of shot. Direct port is more expensive than a single fogger setup.
My buddy actually would like to spray 80HP on his S2000, but needs the money. If it''s still around when he gets back on his feet, that''ll be 1 super fast car! It already redlines at 9200!!!

thx guys for all ur input here.
I only had this car for 3 monthes, and my last oil change is last month. But I do found my air filter not being the cleanest. so gonna change it out.
I''m not really worried too much about the MPG here. Just the fact it''s slow makes me wondering if my 1st gear is slipping a little bit. I think transmission being slipping can cause bad MPG and poor performance too.
when u guys said it slip into neutral. what that feel like? can u actually see the gear indicator light up "N"? or just the rpm going up like crazy? thx

There''s about a half second between gears that you can hear that there is no gear engaged, almost like double-clutching a manual. The auto tranny won''t shoot up in rpms like a manual would when you floor the clutch because of the torque convertors -fluid linkage- maintaining a bit of load in neutral. The shift indicator doesn''t change.

thx, but I read from somewhere else that when the tranny is slipping, the rpm will rev up to coupe thousand but the car wont accelerate. mine is just accelerate slowly and will pick up when the rpm get up to around 2000. and when i press gas hard, i will feel it hesitate a little bit when change from 1st to 2nd, but it''s not so bad, I think my other car does that too.
so is there any easy way to test if tranny is slipping?
sorry if it''s a really dumb question? since I have never drive a manual, so i really dont know how "double-clutching" feels like ? thx a lot

You feel a jerking sensation in the tranny.its pretty noticeable.

I''''''''m talking about the neutral gap between gears on a gear change, not the tranny slipping. If the tranny is slipping, the rpms will go up, but the power output won''''''''t.
EDIT: Also, I wasn''''t talking about how it feels to double-clutch or rev in neutral. I only meant the tranny action of going from one gear, sitting in neutral for a split second and then shifting into the next gear.
cjdm: If done right, any kind of shift can be silky smooth. I''m pretty good at normal up and downshifting at this point. Pretty good at double-clutching and fast shifting too ...... I''m getting better at the heal-toe, braking downshift, but not good enough to do it on a full speed turn. IMO, I''ll be ready for Skip Barber Stage I in another 2-3 months.
