I always pull the fuses, but I guess the real reason is so that you don't burn the fan and fuel pump up while you are downloading.

RE: 4.0 Acceleration
When Civics are turbo'd they really aren't that fast ( some of them). I mean there are some out there but when you got a motor that has 170HP at the crank, 150ish meybe to the wheels your only gunna get meybe like 220HP to the wheels if your lucky I would think, unless you have the internal's built up. I've seen some mean DOHC civics ( hatchbacks) that are all motor & keep right up along with me and the mods I have listed.

Ok here is the deal. I was running up to Best Buy to pick up Transporter 2 because it is on sale today for $6.99. On the way up there I got to really test the performance out of my C&L and XCAL2.
I was doing 35 mph on this straight away, no traffic to speak of except for a civic and a late 90's eclipse closing in on me fast. I estimated their rate of speed at about 60 or so and climbing. I let them pass me and tromped on it, I was pretty quick to catch up to them. We get to the light, and the eclipse is in front of me in the left lane and the civic is in the right lane. Both are turbocharged, they are revving up there engines so I knew it was on, and I was wondering if I was getting ready to write a check my @ss can't cash. I was sure I was going to spank the civic, not too sure about the eclipse. The light turns green, they launch and I am riding the civic's @ss like Sea Biscuit, the eclipse pulls ahead I change to the left lane and pass the civic then back to the right lane and pass the eclipse. Double Kill.
I am going to have to start adding kill marks on my car now like our pilots did in WWII on their Mustangs and Corsairs.

Anyways, the talon TSI and the Eclipse GSX can get pretty mean. I run a website, www.DSMCentral.com and I know a guy in the low 9's
