On july 11th in gonna go with some friends to Sears Point for a day of drag racing. Im going to take my cx. Ive fully stripped the interior except for the 2 front seats, dash, front door panels, headliner and stereo. as far as engine mods, ive got a short ram intake w/ a heatshield and cold air piping to the front of the car. Everything else is stock. Im a decent driver, so what do u think my times will be?

May be High 16 if your lucky.......... u have a 1.6 sohc right? when u say stock or even 18's

Downey

nope, i wish i had the 1.6 sohc, but ive got the 1.5l 4cyl 8 valve 70bhp and 91 ft lbs torque. Its pretty damn loud with the intake tho. Im think very high 17's or low 18's.

good luck man sorrie to say but that motor is slow i guess you'll be runnin in the 18

Downey

thats what i thought. Oh well im doing it just for fun. At searts point its bracket drags, so if im consistant, i might be able to win! Here are some of my friends car that are going aswell.
2K GTI VR6, 57 Chevy Bel-Air, 67 GT350, 01 AMG E55, 91 Integra GS, maybe my friend with a 00 ITR and a 97 GTI VR6.

too bad loud doesn't equal fast....

with 70 hp against those other cars....eesh

Steve

70HP...... ouch. Thank god I live in Canada. 8 Valve.... HAHAHA I scoff at the 8 Valve.

Canadian CX = 1.5L 16 Valve SOHC, 102HP and 9? Torque..... yeah, so it still sucks... just not as much...

*Please note this is NOT a Canada is better thing, I am not picking a fight or starting a debate, I was simply showing that the canadian and american CX's are slightly different*.. end disclaimer.



Now let's both go get beat by everything else on the road, except for maybe firefly's and the odd swift.....

Downey

ok guys.. let me set somthing straight.. I KNOW MY CAR IS SLOW AS ****..
i know i have 70bhp, i know im not going to breaking any reconds, except for slowest time of the day. But i asked what TIMES do u think my car can run. For a 70bhp the car its not bad at all, it pulls pretty good in 1st and second. I raced a 92 dx hatch and beat it and i raced my friends Accord LX and beat that 2.

Never Underestimate the raw power of the cx my friend..... LOL

Seriously though, I know what you mean, I've never driven the 70HP version, but mine pulls pretty hard in 1st and second as well. Just have to know how to drive them I guess.

And I honestly don't know what you should run at the track, I've never been and haven't seen cx numbers.

hey, i ran a 16.2 consistent in my dx hatch with the mods below. i think you should run around mid 17s or low 17s if lucky

john94si

Wow thats what my Si ran, 16.2 about 87mph?? it was my first ever time at the track.. i heard i should be running 15.5 or so , with the cat back , intake??

Maybe you should borrow your moms minivan and take that to the track. It would probably run faster.

And you raced your friend at beat him? Are you sure he wasnt driving normal? I mean with the huge acceleration your pulling, he might have been just going half throttle.

Sorry had to vent on slow cars for the day. Expect a 18 second quarter mile at around 70 mph. Hopefully you will be able to decellerate in time from the tremendous speeds. Nah im just kidding. If you cant tell, i'm really sarcastic. My writing comes out differently then i am thinking it.

Just when you go, make sure you know all the rules, and know how to stage. DO NOT burn out past the starting line. Them Domestic track owners hate that more than anything. Especially if your not running 11's or faster. Just creep up to the line slowly, stage, and then have a good run. Then get some mods for your car damnit!!!

Downey

im going just for fun! Thanks for all the responses!

FIVE.ONE.ZERO

im thinking high 17s good luck.
