Well in about two weeks my car will be equipped with an apex n1 cat-back, JDM 4-1 Headers, carsound high flo-cat 2.5 in. It already has an aem cai w/bypass valve (but i'm taking that out as soon as i can find something to attach my intake together with). My ultimate goal for my car is high 13's all-motor, but for now i was wondering how hard it would be for me to hit high 14's with i/h/e? I see alot of type R's posting their times but i rarely see GSR time slips. I'd be happy with a 14.9!

 

As long as ur a good driver...high 14s should be easily attainable.

you guys going to carlsbad??? when are you going i believe i will be going on the 5th of jan if things are correct....


with some slicks a stock GSR with simple mods should run atleast 14.99

 

I know of an LS Integra that is STS prepared that hits high 14s on slicks.

 

Where exactly is Carlsbad? Any info online about it? I just moved to LA a couple of months ago...so not too familiar with locations yet.

its down the 5 towards san diego.. i believe you get off at palomar airport road take a left off teh freeway... go for about 5 miles till you see a gas station with a taco bell on the corner... (baker waY?) then you turn left go past the little shopping type do dah... and then turn left agian and then that is the opening gate

 

Cool thanks for the info. I think i'll probably go...gonna be my first time (i'll be watching though, not racing).

what part of LA are you from?

 

Kinda near culver city..about 8 miles south of ucla.

yeah i wanna go to carlsbad after i get my stuff installed. Does anyone know if you can still race if you're only 17? If so then all i need is to borrow someone's helmet and i'm there! Also, do people usually get fast times at carlsbad? Is it at sea level?

 

yeah the entrace is shitty as hell... its a dirt road.. haha but then i know people who have run good fast times there... its pretty close to sea level being in carlsbad which is really really close to the beach... and the air quality is good...

 

I think MrSmith hit 14.8 with intake, MAYBE header and exhaust on his GS-R after stripping some weight out. Street tires too.

 

do you know how much it costs and how many runs you get?

 

14.7 easy in a GSR.........
AEM + Nitto drag radials, that is it!

 

Don't we also know an I/H/E and cam gear-equiped GSR that has run mid 14s on street tires?
Mr. Yellowcorn's '99 Si has also run a 14.87 with just a CAI and Greddy cat back, full interior, and street tires! Sound too good to be true? He's an excellent driver with a particularly strong motor from the factory.
(They say out of every 10 motors off the assembly line, in terms of power output, 7 are average, 2 are below average, and 1 is above)

 

Oh, boy...I remember the last time this was brought up in here...

 

check me out! Let me know if you wanna know timeslip infos

I/H/E remove spare tire, low on gas, remove a few psi from front tires, I weight 130

 

damn, thats a nice time. I'm guessing you're a super good driver? Oh yeah, maybe i should clarify something else, i'm on stock tires

Does anyone have the address to carlsbad racetrack by any chance? I wanna get some mapquest directions.

 

Here's the website I found: http://carlsbadrags.tripod.com/

some cars are just faster than others from the factory. some gsrs around here run 16.0s and some run low 15"s. same mods good drivers

 

an old member that used to be in my car club had a Gsr with only intake header ehaust, he was running 9.3 1/8th miles probly equals out to mid 14s. if anyone going carlsbad the 5th, head on over to the qualcomm stadium after, theres gonna be 1/8h mile drags from 11am to 9 or 10pm. http://www.racelegal.com more info--
