"ก้านซิ่ง. MRX."
Facebook translates it as "Racing stem MRX"
Google says it's "Rod MRX"

I took some liberties in guessing that they are talking about pistons and rods so I could be wrong... lol but it's the same 1.5L engine we have here and anyone running those times is at risk of throwing a rod with the stock internals.
What I want to know is what black magic they used to keep the CVT from slipping... I feel like people can barely get 250tq out of it before having issues.
It wasn't a CVT Civic. The "Thai" have already been discredited with previous Tom Foolery with #'s.
This is how they shave weight and after that run of approx 103.7mph they still managed to shave another second off their time? but, achieving a trap speed of 120mph? I applaud the Tom Foolery there :) ROTLMFAO

They always seem to do brake torque while revving, 3x in a row. I sent them a tell months ago asking about this but got no reply (Sent it in Thai).

Anyhow, yes.....I break torque but it is very light/moderate gas while the light is at the 2nd and 3rd yellow. I let off the brakes on the 3rd yellow. Very little time that I'm actually mashing the brakes and the gas. And I never mash the gas pedal to the floor while holding the brake pedal.

Have you ever thought about filming on the dragstrip, with something like a helmet camera?
I guess that would be help to analyze some things.... and of course it would be good entertainment for people like myself. ;)

Way late reply and I'm sorry. Totally missed this. I have! Wanted to use Torque Pro to do it like I did with my Honda Fit. May do it. Prefer my wife to video the races from the stands now. She has gotten a little better now, whereas it doesn't look like she's filming with a potato. o_O
