### **Introduction to the New Honduras Shirts and Project Update**
In this video, I wanted to share with you guys something exciting—a new line of Honduras shirts. Here's what the front and back look like. This is a story of my life with Honduras, but if you're interested in grabbing one for yourself, head over to [pondero.bigcartel.com](https://pondero.bigcartel.com). You can purchase these shirts worldwide, so don't worry about location. All proceeds from the sale of these shirts will go toward building a new motor for our car project, which is something we're really passionate about.

### **Update on the Car Project**
We've been having fun with the stock motor so far, but it's time to get back on track with what we're trying to achieve with this car. Let me fill you in on where things stand.
On Sunday, Brent ran 11-4 in the car, which was impressive. However, there was a small issue with the clutch pedal. The pin popped out, causing the clutch to disengage. We've since fixed that by putting the pin back in, but we need to make some minor adjustments to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Our main goal today is to beat Brent's 11-4 time. After that, Jamie and I will work on finding some vacuum tees for the car. Unfortunately, I was supposed to be at the track with them on Sunday, but I had food poisoning on Friday, which put a damper on things. However, I'm feeling better now, and Kyle is back at the shop working on the MR2. Since there was an extra spot on the trailer, I decided to bring "Hondrou" (as we lovingly call her) out to the track today.

### **First Pass of the Day**
This is the first pass of the day—a shakedown run with the stock motor. I haven't had a chance to test it on the gate yet, so I'm curious to see how it performs. Unfortunately, during the last pass, the pedal fell flat to the floor, but since I was actively pumping it, it felt fine at the time.

### **Challenges with the Clutch Pedal and Speed Sensor**
On my second pass, things went a bit better. The pedal didn't stick to the floor this time, though there were still some minor issues. The car is shifting through all the gears without missing any, which is a good sign. However, I did notice that it wasn't revving past 7,000 RPM, which is concerning.
I called Brent, who had driven it last on Sunday, and he mentioned that this issue had happened to him as well. He suggested checking the speed sensor because if it's not working properly, it might cause the car to hit two-step (a safety mechanism that limits engine RPM). I drove the car around to test the speedometer, and it seems to be functioning now. However, I'm still unsure if this was the root of the problem.

### **Adjustments and Testing**
I made another pass after fixing the speed sensor. The rev limiter is set to 8,700 RPM, but for some reason, it's not going past that. Since we're working with a stock motor right now, we don't need to worry too much about it. There's another motor sitting where the car parks, so we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
During this pass, I noticed that the car was bogging slightly in second gear. Jamie suggested adjusting the two-step settings to help with this issue. We decided to reduce the two-step activation RPM by 200, which should give us a better feel for the power delivery.

### **Results of Adjustments**
After making these adjustments, we saw some positive results. The car shifted at 75 RPM, and we managed to trap it at 11.9 seconds with a speed of 125.75 mph. The 60-foot time was 1.8 seconds, which is great progress. However, there's still room for improvement. I mentioned that I might try warming up the tires in the future to see if that helps with traction.

### **Burnouts and Further Testing**
For the first time today, I did a burnout. The results were impressive—10.8 seconds at 129 mph on one pass and 10.8 again at 133 mph on another. This was the best 60-foot time of the day, and I'm excited to see how we can build on this.
I mentioned that we're considering switching to slick tires in the future to improve grip, especially in second gear where the car currently loses some power. With better traction and a more dialed-in setup, we could potentially hit into the low 10-second range.

### **Conclusion**
Today was a great day for the project. We made significant progress with the stock motor, and I'm excited to see what we can achieve with it in the future. The car feels like it has untapped potential, and I can't wait to push it further.
We're planning to put the car back on the trailer soon and call it a day. It's been an exciting ride, and I hope you enjoyed watching it as much as I did. Thanks for tuning in, and we'll see you next time!
