Default COMP.4***New personal best MPH...still no traction

I took the car to the track this weekend to work out some suspension bugs. I am still having trouble getting out of the hole so the entire suspension is comming off this week, and we're starting over. Hope to be ready for Rockingham on the 27th.

60----2.03
330---5.21
1/8---7.73
mph---98.49
1000---N/A
1000---N/A
1/4---11.77
mph---121.86


I want to thank D-Tuned for tuning the car, Terry @Boostfed Racing for comming with us and for tech/parts support, James, Dave, and Matt for all your help this weekend.

And of course, thanks to RLZ/Speed Inovations Howard and Brad Z for building the motor and tranny!! See you guys next weekend!

The car is an 89 CRX HF. We've tried playing with air pressure, suspension settings, launch rpms...no luck getting our 60's down. I have a few ideas that Im going to try this week to get the car to hook up for next weekend.

You can see the car here https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1329162

It was a GREAT day of learning some things about ther car! Need to get it to stop shaking and spinning sooooo bad and that thing is 11.0s or 10.90s, the MPH should come up I feel too, we got some testing coming up!!!!! Get some times on my car too! If I can't drive it the way it should then :gulp: I guess I gotta let Airshifter try it! Jay your car is gonna fly this weekend, we gotta get you a wing now, CF double Ironing board ****! Jay if you need any help this week let me know and also you know I need yours!! I had a great time and this weekend will be even better!

Edit:I can't wait to see you get that 60' down to 1.5-1.6s and watch the times DROP!!!!

Thanks Terry. Matt and I spoke over lunch today about an idea we had with the suspension, we'll see if it works at the Rock. Let me know when your ready to get on your car and Im there...gotta get her running before Friday if you want to race this weekend.

I think once we start getting 1.55-1.65 60's, we'll see low 11's, or maybe even a 10 second pass!!

Yes, this is on 24.5 MT's. We've tried everything but launching at idle!

The motor makes power so fast, and rev's so damn quick that the slicks just can't grab.
