went to the track sunday

[1PhatCX]

so sunday i went to the track to see what i'm running, turns out i ran a 16.18 @84 mph, i was pretty happy with that seeing as i didnt put much money into my motor. also, this was run on bald snow tires (like 2/32's left) so i was spinning alot in 1st and 2nd. i'll post up my slips, pics and video when i get my computer back, (damn viruses) but it was a good day. my buddys auto firebird was running 15.7's all day so it was cool to keep up with him most of the time

thats with a zc with i/h/e? what was your 60', 1/8th, etc...

[turtlecrxsi]

That's pretty sad. Don't you have stereo stuff in your car though...

[civicHBsi91]

You could get high 15's with that mph, but if it doesent get any faster I wouldent expect any faster times than a high 15.

[shaolyn]

[Kunundrum]

DOHC ZC
I/H/E
2.5 inch header back exhaust with cherry bomb
Mild P&P (port match)
bored TB
no tuning.
4 inch drop
bald winter tires
no traction
upper strut bars
full stereo (single 12, box, and amp) about 120 ish pounds
spare tire
passenger seat
honda jack
tools
paintball gun

also running teg 14 inch rims so its not bad, if i had slicks, i would have hit high 15's for sure because traction was a huge issue

[kingpinn]

thats not bad keep us posted good luck with the traction

You suck at driving.

You gotta lower your 60s, you should be able to run a 15.8 I would think. What tranny are you using?

Get back there.. Especially if I EVER bring my car out.

[clawhammer]

Remove tools. Easiest weight loss. Get different tires, pull a 2.2 60 ft and you'll be running 15.7.

[civicHBsi91]

You dont need slicks, just learn how to drive your car better thats all.

[shaolyn]

my buddie was running a civic with a zc in it and he had I/H/E and he hit a 15.6 then i drove it i hit a 15.3 i dont kno whats the deal here lol

[civicHBsi91]

theres alot of things to add in.

weight, traction, driver skill, motor condition

weight is a big factor with ef's, I see people bragging great times with everyday setups but then their car is an 88 hf gutted to hell.

[shaolyn]

well his is a 91 si with the full interior we dont believe in weight reduction takin back seats off and other sh*t whats the point really your only gonna lose like maybe 2-5 pounds... well yea as i was saying full interior si and i weigh 180lbs then there is the subs in the back 2 12's in a bandpass box... o and we had regular street tires on hours with about 25% thread left dam warning lines came out lol

[turtlecrxsi]

I guess it's not bad... you just need better tires. Do you dump the clutch or slip it?
