Civic Si 1/4 time
Ok well this happaned a while ago, but I was just wondering how this could happen.
I have a civic si and I went to the track about a little over a year ago for the first time and ran my car. All I had done to it was springs/shocks, front sway, rear sway/tie and cai. I ran a 15.1 as my best time and 15.4 consistently.
Supposedly this isn't supposed to be possible especially on a car with 80k+ miles. Any ideas on how I did this?!?
On another note, since then, I have added a cat-back exhaust, ITR IM, and an Exedy clutch (I know I know, it's cheap) and now my best time is like 15.9 x_X I suck at getting out of the hole with that new clutch!

You should look at your 60' times on your 15.1 vs now!!! That will tell you how much traction you are loosing maybe because you lowered it improperly and do not have the contact patch neccesary to hook a nice 60' time.. Or you have cheap *** bald tires? Or you really suck at driving and had one of those days when you are in the zone ..
Do not get insulted but the truth can hurt!!

After that My times were actually better than before.
