Went to the track again..! *video* included :)

Went back to our local 1/8th mile track again.. I haven't been since I street tuned my Power FC. Last time I ran with the monkeywrenchracing.com basemap and ran a best of 9.4 @ 69mph.. tune was way off. FYI.. our 1/8th here is actually 50ft short of an actual 1/8th, so that's why the 1/8th ET and trap are a little off.. here's my history at that track:

Best time stock full interior: 9.245 @ 70mph
Best time stock stripped: 8.967 @ 72mph

I finally beat my 8.9 after 8 months of trying.. I ran three 8.7x's in a row with consistent 2.1 60's. I also beat my best 60' on that run. I came SOOOO close to getting a 2.0 60'.. not too shabby with street tires on a fwd!!

I was comparing my recent slips from tonight and when i went to the 1/4 mile last month. I think I'm really getting close to the 13's. Right now I think I should be doing 14.1-14.2 in the 1/4 by looking at my slips and comparing them to other celica time slips with similar mods. Here's a comparison I did.. my slips are the white ones.

I think with a good dyno tune I can get 13.9 or maybe even better.. but I'll never know until I spend the $120 for an hour of tuning..

So your car is completely stripped, with i/e and standalone? That's really good. What about tires? Are you running street tires?

was he really serious? or were they trying to fill a spot??

Yes, that was with street tires. I was using my old 16" nankang es100's in the front.

He kind of cut in front of me and got in line.. I was like wtf??? It was some middle aged guy and his wife. I think they made a wrong turn at the country kitchen buffet or something. lol

nice. I never liked those celicas much until I saw they only weighed around 2,500. With a stripped interior and your mods it sounds like you're going to be upsetting some supposedly faster cars in your area.

first vid didn't work for me but good run. You need 1/4 mile times now.

I don't get this comment,

It either is 660', or it isn't a 1/8th mile track. Souds like it's 610', from what you're describing. Kinda odd that your track isn't a full 1/8th mile.

I'll have to see you run a 13 sec. 1/4 mile to believe it, cause i'd imagine your 1/8th mile is more or less in the 9's right now.

clawhammer · #11 12-11-2005, 05:59 PM

I think he is already in the 13s. Look at the time slip that he posted for the 14.0x run. The 1/8th time is 9.0x, but he was already in the 8.9x at the 1/8th. That's really good for a close to stock celica though.

Yeah, it's 50ft short of a true 1/8th. So about 610ft. At a full 1/8th I should run around a 9.0 or so at 78-80mph.

damn your about as fast as bubba's civic that he used to have here (the one that i was trying to set up a race between you two when he had it)

congrats on the new time vip.

ask for the tune for christmas

jeffs_GTP_sleeper · #14 12-12-2005, 01:58 AM

Yeah I agree, if you can trap 78-80 in the 1/8 you should be able to get a 13s 1/4 slip.

What kinda track cuts their 1/8 mile by 50ft? Sounds like a good place to race down the 1/5 mile... I'll show you a 13 second stock Honda!
