Anything less than 2 bars over half and you run the possibility of starvation.

At the end of the day at the Dragon, I had 1/4 tank and no starvation issues, as most of our crew. And you can believe we were cornering quite hard. I find it hard to believe the tank has a design flaw. As far as the original problem, I would hook up a scanner with real-time datastream and take her for a ride.

Difficult shifting from 2-3 on high speed left turn, on the track. Not sure why, but it's slowed my down on several occasions and blew my apex.

I just got my MY02 right from a Honda dealership, CPO, extended warranty, etc., and the first time I pushed the RPM's up in first and shifted into second, I got the GRIND!!! I thought, maybe I just didn't have the clutch fully depressed or something, so tried it a couple more times... same thing!!! Like others I guess, it doesn't happen all the time, I tried quite a few subsequent times and it didn't happen... doesn't seem like there's any rhyme or reason to when/why it does it, sometimes it's lower RPM's, sometimes higher.

Is adjusting the clutch pushrod to 0 play something the dealership will do under warranty, and is it any harder on the car than normal (i.e. is it safe for the car, really)?
