I have a thread up in the 5.0 talk but realized i should be over here its 7 pages long of the mods i've done to the car and how i felt about them/how they did at the track. Well i took a full bolt on car to 13.5 and then the track closed for winter. Now its re-opened and i have a H/C/I S/C and i have got it down to this! "11 seconds was staring right at me. but i can wait a little longer ;p Here are the new numbers with the same nittos as before! 315/35/17 Lacking sidewall ;p R/T .256 60' 1.982 1/8 7.950 WOO! MPH 94.62 1/4 12.050 So close.... I actually had a group of people coming over to my car after each run and cheering me on...Holy crap thats a good feeling. And last but not least. my MPH...wich i have to say was scary! MPH 121.24 I now see my breaks being an issue lol." I will post the time slip in the morning. Goodnight guys!
Congratulations! You are all done with the engine, now its time to get that suspension and gearing in check. Easily a low 11, (high 10??) second car when you get it dialed in and are putting down 1.4x-1.5x 60 foot times. Adam
thanks! It should be fun to see what suspension and real traction will do to the car but i need to build up the rear end and a new clutch sounds good. so many parts, they should just appear at my door step for free!
absolutely.... that mph was up there too, did u have to change ur pants afterwards? i get nervous in traffic when i hit 100 LOL the comments from people at the track you dont even know must've givin you some nice support... keep us updateD!
h Not yet ;p here are the videos and the time slip. Pretty much the car was hooking pretty good and my seat was too far back so i missed third and still ran a 12.8 lol... but here they are! Best run of the night, got it dialed in to .02 on the two good runs. Not sure what happened but i called it a night after that one ;p
it hurts my ears! lol. the guy in the RSX said "I have never heard anyone chirp second like that" Then he did his impersonation of it and i almost fell over laughing. (VroooooOOOOOOOOM VROOOSCEEEEEEEECH) Right when i get there i had someone dissing on the guy that did my tune so it was good to throw some 12.0's in his face ;p edit: just wanted to throw in there that if im on a flat surface it takes ALOT of spinning to kick the side out. my car squats pretty good for stock suspension but i noticed more spinning as the gas tank was lowering so, maybe i only go fast from a stop with a full tank lol.
Awesome job man! That last run was kinda weird...sounded like it laid over a little... Did you figure out what caused it?
I might have not let it cool enough, i just wanted to do one more good run and then go, thats when i did the 12.050. So i figured thats really close and if i could bust into the 11's that would be awesome! but i shifted a tad bit slower and 2-3 gear was really slow lol. Also i find it hard to shift at the same point every time. im within a few hundred RPM but i think my fastest run i stayed in second gear untill 6250ish. with a little more practice and some more messing around with tire pressure i bet i could get in there pretty easy. second gear is just a spin fest and im invited
12.050 on a stock suspension car is sick! Just imagine what you'll put down once you get a real suspension under that car! Sounds great, by the way! That thing is screaming!
thanks! cant wait. taking a short break but the modding/testing will be back to normal here in about three weeks.
