yea i put a different cluster in my car finally so now i dont have to guess what rpm's im launching at, the car was running a little rough back then too. it pulls way harder now, next season it'll have the LS-V in it. Im gonna invest in some tires for sure this time so i dont lower my self esteem again. lol

 

trap speed was 93. I did a run with the header and no axle back last spring and the trap speed was 95 spinning all the way through 1st (2.5 sec 60ft) and ran a 15.0. This time my 60 ft was 2.3 so I know with the header on it should be 14.8 with a good launch. I need bigger exhaust too. Yeah I dont know what I was thinking getting Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S.

 

at first i wasnt even planning on running the car, i just went down there to watch my friend run his car then he was like u should run urs so i said eh ok, took it out there on the 15x8 +25 stance wheels and sat at the line spinning for a bit. but id still pass the ef and run a slower time what a kick in the nuts haha

 

its funny how tires make a huge difference at the track, u can have all the power in the world without good tires its useless. all my friends cars ive played around with them a bit off the track and my car would beat them pretty bad but at the track they were all running faster times ugh lol

 

for running stock manifold and everything ur car is running pretty good just like N/A was saying we both gotta bring down those 60fts lol
my car has a Usdm gsr swap(motor and trans) with a (smashed) hytech rep header full 2.5 inch exhaust blox intake mani and chipped po6. but it would spin 1st and 2nd gear pretty bad. next week im ordering the azenis for the slips but track seasons over today. so wont know what the gsr would of done with good tires

 

Lol I ran on 14" bald "sunnys"

 

lol damn hella low budget haha jk im pretty sure right now even on shitty tires i could get a really high 14 with my car, it feels 10x stronger now.

 

Never really seen the appeal in straight line racing, too much strain on the car for too little reward imo

Circuit racing is another whole level of fun entirely though

 

^Yeah that's what I want to do, but I don't think I can afford it right now, it costs more to race circuit, plus I would need new brake pads and better tires.

My car is also 2400lbs since it's a '94 Si ABS, so it's not like I can do a GSR swap with some bolt ons and do low 14s.

 

mines a vx 2080lbs and u thought ur run was pathetic lol

 

Lmao nah its true, but I make best of what I got.

I launched at 2k all day and just floored it and found a nice sweet spot

My vtec don't engage till 5500 so it compensated for the feathering id usually have to do launching at high rpms

 

for that whole week after i ran it i was depressed because everyone that heard I ran my car were like what u run low-mid 14s?? i would just put my head down and say nope 15.3 lol

 

id love to circuit race, but nowhere close to do it and its expensive...


If you think about it circuit could be just as strenuous for a car. Your oil is getting tossed all over your pan from the turn, chassis is getting twisted around turns and loosening it up, brakes are used constantly, and bushings get worn faster.

Drag your just putting a lot of stress on the transaxle

 

 

wish i knew what i was launching at dx cluster ftw lol my car would sit and spin off the line even with feathering then 2nd gear spin more for like 2 sec hook up but by then everyone was in front of me and id have to play catch up id reel them in but not enough track Camber Kills lol

 

LOL thanks hahaha

 

Anybody know of a quality camera for cheap?

Id love a gopro

 

Go pro's are pretty cheap they were on sale at best buy here for like 139.99 i believe.

 

Damn I need to get one asap

 

I used to have a canon Power shot Sd1400Is 14.1 megapixels they're pretty cheap like 130-150 and really good for a point and shoot camera. i gave it to my gf and got me a canon 550d.

 

Lol, the **** happens! Hey N/A, do you like the Px better than the aebs? Did it just make more power up high?

 

I need to invest in something. The cellphone cam doesn't do justice

 

Oohhh yea, top end like whooooa. I love being in high rpms.

My low end is suffering right now tho cause I am untuned

 

I know this isnt a pic of a eg hatch but its a pic of my old coupe i had i took the picture with that Canon Powershot i was telling u about. im not a camera expert but i liked it, looked pretty clear for a point and shoot

 

if u wanna make power up high eff the px mani go buy a wet kit and throw the juice to it lol
