rsx runs down lotus elise on track day Firebird raceway west

My somewhat prepped hondata reflashed RSX runs down a Lotus Elise. It was only his second event...but still ! Watch for 8600 rpm shifts. A well-driven E46 M3 passes us both and I try to hang with him.

Don't have the car any more, but it had the factory A-spec suspension.

what exacly is a reflash, is it a computer is it a piggyback module is it a plug n play device, do you need to buy the kpro 1st.

[rokjoke]

The RSX engine runs off data tables that control fuel, cam angles, ignition timing, vtec activation, etc. Reflashing changes that data to give more horsepower. And it is specifically designed for cold air intake. My car gained about 35 flywheel horses from the reflash. The reflash is static though. I can't do any further tweeking if I change something on my car. That's what Kpro is for. It replaces your computer completely and allows you to tune everything to your individual car.

RokJoke... I was just givin' yah the raz! Your RSX is pretty quick, but really no match for a prepped Lotus. It's funny...all these track day videos showing cars passing, or keeping up with cars that they shouldn't be able to. In reality you have to take each as a special case. Anyway, congrats on a fun day and a cool video. BTW, I'm an old ex-kart racer. I'd love to have a go at ya at Laguna Seca in my prepped Elise! hee hee... adios!

I don't doubt you. He was a beginner and he was scaring himself so much that it allowed me to catch him. Later in the day we were dead even. Now he'd probably kill me.

[GeezerRocker]

No offense dude but the Lotus pulls you anywhere she wants to...it's just that the chick can't drive very well. I didn't see her take one line properly...

[rokjoke]

Well...actually it was a guy driving...a Brit...only his second time, he got better as the sessions went on. As far as "pulling" goes, he was surprised that he couldn't pull me. He said "my car should be much faster in a straight line...how are you keeping up on the straight ?" Me: "Hondata".

[plefrancois]

VERY nice sound !!! I'd like to know your mods other than the reflash, like do you have an intake, header, exhaust, cams, etc. I have an RSX as well and I'd like to have such a sweet sound :) Thanks !
