my 1st time i went to the track my best was 16.2.....well i went back to the track tonight, learned how to launch my car...
got 6 runs in...
16.033 @ 86
16.222 @ 86
15.886 @ 86
15.741 @ 86
15.930 @ 86
16.089 @ 86

my new best is...

R/T .230
60' 2.390
1/8 10.127
1/4 15.741
MPH 86.73

2000 civic si. stock.

 

2.39 is a horrible 60ft

That car is capable of a 15.2 or 15.3 if you knew how to launch.

 

bring down the 60's and ur gonna drop a couple tenths.

 

my previous best which was my 1st time @ the track...i ran a 16.2 @ 86 with a 4.54 60'...just bringing my 60 down to 3.90 i gained .5 on my 1/4....i dont think this car can do 15.2 or 15.3 stock.

 

I ran a 16.40 with a 2.40 60ft, and with a 2.26 I ran a 15.96

 

with stock tires?

 

I think the times are decent. Good job. 2.3 60' on the stock tires (or similar) is okay. It all depends on how the track is.

 

you can get better 60' than 2.390 even w/ stock tires...practice

god damn wtf are you smoking?


launching is the hardest part, and what really makes your time. since b16 is a torqueless motor I would say rev it to like 4,500 rpms (if it's a stock clutch) and quickly let it out until you feel the car starting to launch (not burning tires or nothing), and then dump it. Hard to explain you need to slip it that way you use the upper powerband all the way thru but you are not burning tires while you are doing it.

 

superi0ro1, whats up man, ur car is really clean.... and yeah, i'll be sure to try new things to see if i can get my 60' down..

lol when he is talking about the stage 3 burnout he is referring to this one stupid thread that some guy made about a stage 3 burnout...it was hillarious and everyone flamed the guy for it...ill try to find a link for it and post it in here...lmao

 

lol here is the infamous "stage 3 burnout" thread that started it all: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1074657 if u guys search under stage3 burnout in post bodies, u can find some threads that ppl made that use the stage3 burnout term... lol

it probably also depends on your elevation and humidity and such... hes in fl so that might make a dif.

anyways im not going to argue with bauley on this one for he is one of the Honda-Tech Gods

Good

when I ran stock with my Si, I ran a 16.1 with a 2.6 60ft at some garbage track. I ran a 15.7 with a 2.3 60ft, i/e though. It's hard launching with the stock clutch, it's a either a real good launch or a horrible one, there is no in between.
