Default Pooopy 1/4 time of 99 Civic EX


Ok, this was my first time at the drag strip and my first couple of run sucked a$$. (tires sucked by the way)


Heres a list of mods:
AEM Short Ram
Greddy EVO
Ebay Short Shifter
*Removed spare tire and jack

60' =3.042
330=7.582
1/8=11.511
MPH=62.99
1000=14.843
1/4=17.637
MPH=79.82
(FIRST and WORST RUN)


60' =2.561
330=7.102
1/8=10.851
MPH=65.70
1000=14.078
1/4=16.783
MPH=83.17
(4th and BEST RUN)

After the 4th run my time kept gettin' slower and slower, prolly because i don't let it cool enough. It was pretty cold so I wasn't gettin' the best traction out of my not so good tires. Do you guys think I should be running faster?

Better than me. In my stock del sol si(d16y8) I went first run 17.7 and second run 17.1. I never got a chance to run it stock after that :-T.

Your 60' times are WAY too high, they're what's killing your 1320 ET.

Try launching at a lower RPM, or getting some better tires.

I'm not trying to flame, but why do people go and try and track their car with crappy street tires and then complain about the E.T.'s? Make's no sense to me. I wouldn't go until I knew I had tires that would grip worth a crap.

Anyways, your 4th time doesn't seem to bad. With more practice you would get it down. Practice makes perfect.
