has anyone ever taken thre stck car to teh track??? i was wondering what a 98 hx would do if any one has ever done it...or any stock civic?

 

15.9@84mph stock D16Z6 95 EX.

 

god dam.

 

god damn...and thats completly stock? i wonder what my car does

 

I got a 16.2 out of my 95ex

 

Completely Stock. That is the best run i've had so far. 15s' by the skin of my teeth. But, i'll take it. I usually can run pretty consistent 16.0s'.
Here's the timeslip:
60'- 2.259
330- 6.558
1/8- 10.206
990- 13.254
1/4- 15.997
MPH 84.30
I've also heard of people hitting 15.8s' (Stock).

ok man..what your secret.....?? at what rpm are you launching at?? what are your shift points? are you gutting your interior seats? I am running a 00 EX with CAI, DC header, and cat back exhaust..and can only pull a 16.8....something does not add up man..when you are stock....tell me your secret...and how did you run a 15.8 at 84 mph..when i pulled a 16.8 at that same speed??

 

im runnin a 10.3 in the 1/8 with our 98 civic DX. i wonder what the 1/4 would be? my 90Z24 runs 10.0 @69mph 60ft. 2.191 damn i wish the 1/4 wasnt so far away


im just a mod donor for the civic
then i get my moneys worth at the auto-X events

I am consistently running 10.6's in the 1/8th mile with my civic. The best its run is a 10.3....and shane can run it at. I need to work on my drag skills a bit....like 60' times. and shifting.

 

Man, i'm far from 15.8s', 15.997 is practically a 16.0.
I'm running full interior except the trunk (take everything out). I also air down my tires a bit ( Crappy Goodyears on stock steelies). I launch at about 3-4 grand i'm assuming. (Never really pay attention) and usually shift at about 7000rpm. What 's your 60' times looking like? those are really the key to good 1/4 times ( Found that out the hard way). When i first started going my best times were like 16.9 - 16.7s'. How long have you been going? It just takes practice that's all.
Edit- Also,IMO Honda makes a pretty good engine as is. "Mods"(bolt ons) don't always = faster.

my 60 foot is at a 2.514 seconds...and i didn't mess with my tire pressure, spare tire, and interior seats..and i was running on 17s..i know those factors slow me down..but to pull me all they way to a low 16 seems impossible...

Khoi

 

Believe me man, it is possible.I know a kid with a 97 DX (I/H/E) that runs consistent 16.4s' dead on. I think if you went with a smaller, lighter rim and tire combo, got rid of the dead weight and worked on your 60' times you'd be in good shape.
Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

 

here is my civics best timeslip from the 1/8th
hopefully I will get a 1/4 mile time soon.
...and it was actually 2002 not 1980

 

. 519 RT, You got fighter pilot reflexes.......... Nice run.

 

Before turbo, my best was a 16.134 @ 84.xxmph with a CAI and DC header. Stock exahust and slipping clutch.

My friend with a 99 DX ran consisent 16.1's when he hit the track with me for the first time, and all he had then was a CAI, my old DC header and an Si catback, gave him a best of 16.10 @ 84.xxmph. Now with the Y8 manifold he's looking for at least 16.0

 

1992 Civic Si hatchback.

2259lbs. (full interior, only spare was out)
Michelin MXV4 185-60-14 stock 14 inch steelies!
AEM intake

Otherwise STOCK!

15.6 in the 1/4 mile!

With B18C1 swap and i/h/e on 205-40-16 Falken ****-tires: 2320lbs. full interior, 16's, too much gasoline

14.6

With B18C5 swap i/e and ECU on 195-50-15: 2289lbs. full interior, lighter wheels, less gas

13.9@100.97mph

So why is it then that my big family sedan Maxima runs 14.8 stock, yet remains to be in about the same price range as smaller, slower honda's? (I am not crapping on anyone here, I am looking to buy a project car and when I was going to sell the maxima, i was shocked at the resale value...)

 

Hey man, I also see a lot more Maximas on lifts too for more mechanical failures too

BTW: I had about $12,000 in the entire car that ran 13.9@100.97. Stock Type R motor too - just an intake and exhaust. The price I listed included tha car, interior, suspension, wheels/tires, engine swap, etc. It can be done a lot cheaper too

It's all about personal preference man. You want cheap speed? Go buy a 1989 Mustang LX 5.0 beater and thrwo some nitrous on it.

It ain't always about just raw speed

My bone stock EH hatch with stock dx motor, on 16" wheels went 16.50. It's weird though cus my friend has an EX coupe w/ i/e/h and he would go circles around me on the street, literally. But at the track he couldn't break 16's..

 

see...its weird!
EX's usually beat me just a hair in the 1/8th mile b/c the way the gears are set up on the DX model. Right at the very finish, I am shifting to third...and thats when they(EX civics) get a few feet ahead. I tried once to take second out to the finish...but I hit the rev limiter. 2nd gear can't do 65+.
I think third gear will pull strong...thats why I am anxious about running it in the 1/4.
