That's okay, I take my car to the car wash and drive it daily. Plus I like the bling bling "look" of the so-called CBM
Craig, who installed it for you? Yourself?

Btw, Craig, you do realize, don't you, that this CBM bumps you out of semi-stock and straight into Laifattland. Just 2 more seconds you need to make up at Streets. Happy hunting.
Semi-Stock WTF is that?

Don't you have a front bar and wider tires? My car is stock tire sizes, stock sway bars, stock shocks, stock intake, stock air filter, stock exhaust, stock Honda oil...

I do have the clear side markers and the aftermarket windscreen which I'm sure are worth 1-2 seconds. I'll gladly remove those if you're concerned

Saner bar
Elda bar
Spugen single rattle-can exhaust
250lbs of lard in the driver's seat (no passenger seat)
stock intake, air filter (clogged with BW dust no less )
Redline oil (25 hp right there, yo!)

Don't worry. Even with the CBM accounted for, your times are still awesome

Craig, could yours have been due to being not balanced properly?
Oh, were you faster than Aaron?
I didn't notice any balancing problems. I think it might have to do with the B-willow shave job where there are nearly full tread blocks on the outside edge. Maybe when scrubbed hard on a track like SOW the sideways grooves round off until they start to look like knobbies? The Vilven tires I had wore smooth, but did cord on the outside first. Also, the B-willow tires were concave in the middle like yours, only worse after 3 days.

Aaron told me he did a 1:30... of course I didn't verify this, and he WAS running the timing However, I don't doubt the time because he is usually a couple of seconds faster.

It looked pretty easy to install. I'm sure you could do it yourself, but I assume you'd need an alignment afterwards. But remember, it does nothing to improve lap times... it is merely for bling
