Re: first trip to the track help (DelSolMarine)
why do you want to drag race a stock DelSol?
But either motivation, youll MAYBE run high 16's if you know how to drive. Maybe.

I am here to serve.
But seriously though, its a stock DelSlow, like my stock civic. Theres really nothing you can do on the drastrip other than have fun, but look gay in front of x amount of people when they think youre trying to prove something on the track.

Thats a stock del sol? Damn.. I must be on Antartica then.
I'd guess maybe mid-high 14's. A friend of mine ran a stock b18c1, in a 94 coupe(full interior) tuned for best gas mileage and he ran a 14.2. Sometimes you get a good motor, but who knows really?

launches:
-you DONT want to bog down
-launch where your wheels spin a little and modulate the clutch to prevent it from spinning
-preload the tranny
shifts:
-be fast. lol.
crossing the finish line:
-for the love of god, do NOT put your 4-ways on if you beat a car

Tips?
Hmm, just go and get some experience under your belt.
Practice driving, learn the lights, get consistant, and just have some fun!

I didnt mean get rid of them completely, just swap them out for the track runs... otherwise dont expect 60' times anywhere less than 2.3

Re: (ci_v_ic)
17's look HUGE on delsols. I bet you see at least .3 seconds difference in your 60' times as well. I know I did. And that was with bald tires on my 14's.
