660mph - 71.66
1000ft - 12.9144

Try to get your reaction time down next time. A .500 is perfect. Anything below that, and you redlight. The trick is to launch on the third yellow light (or the last yellow light before the greenlight).

here's mine:

R/T : .507
60' : 2.297
330 : 6.567
1/8th: 9.83
MPH : 73.01

I launched at 5500RPM, and spun just a little, and I was powershifting that bitch! I didn't think it was that bad for a 1.6L

 

The time actually looks pretty decent. If you practice your launches, you'll be able to get your 60 ft. time down, which will definitely help out your E/T. Once you improve the launch, if you remove the sub-woofer, amplifier, spare tire, and also swap the 17" wheels for some smaller ones with good tires, you shouldn't have much trouble running very low 15's or high 14's.

Reaction time means nothing in your E.T.

Times look decent with what you listed, and the trap is realllllly good if that is infact what you trapped at.

Stock B18C1 motor?

Where did I mention reaction time?

He was talking about what I said, about working on the reaction time. I know it doesn't mean **** as far as e.t., but it just proves you can drive, by showing how consistant you are, and how good your reactions are. A lot of people judge how you drive, by looking at your r/t, and listening to how you shift gears.

My last five reaction times were .507, .500, .504, .553, and .663.

 

I remember my first track experiances. I was getting like 2.4 and2.5 60ft times. and running like mid and high 15's. Someone gave me some launch tips and i got a 2.2 60ft and hit a 14.9 right off the bat. So id recomend working on your launch to get those 60ft times down. Also what is your setup because if you are mostly stock that isnt bad at all.

 

thanks guys

yeah, stock b18c1 (or is it b18c2 here in australia?.. same thing anyway).. only engine mod is an ebay short ram intake.

i had quite a few runs and couldnt get better than a 2.4 60 footer.. and im blaming it on the wheels/tyres, and probably has a bit to do with my newbie techniques haha.

Reaction times don't really mean **** when your 60fts are over 2.2.


Ever driven at a real Race track? Not just a Dragstrip?

 

No, I haven't. There aren't many around. There is one dragstrip, and it's 8th mile. Never driven on a "real" race track...only the fake ones. Yes, and I know 2.2 is slow. What do you expect from a pretty much stock b16 in a heavy DA with subs, and 17 inch wheels??

 

good times. im sure the extra weight of your stereo and amps, and those 17"s are slowing you down. so considering the extra weight, u did good.

if you can drop the 60'fts a tiny bit to about 2.2 or 2.3 your times will increase significantly.

i ran a 15.06 @ 90 in 94 integra gsr (short ram intake, 15" rota's with 205/50-15) and stereo stuff in the back. i ran a 2.20 60ft.

good luck next time out

I don't expect nothing.


But don't try to generalize how good reaction times represent a driver's skill.

Yeah, I didn't mean yours. I don't know why I quoted it.

 

that trap speed it pretty high , i only hit 94-95 and i run 14.4 all motor..so theres something going on there...

 

i really think theres no way the motor is stock
for a fullweight integra with a sub and amps and on 17's with street tires to run 96mph is not stock by anymeans from all my experience
that mph is good for low to mid 14's and with better tires will trap 97+mph which is by no means stock or clost to stock

 

i have found that its a bit faster than my mates stock gsrs and its almost even with my friends dc5 type r (same spec as the u.s. rsx-s).

time slips

bit blurry i know but you get the idea.

 

well his trap could be really high because he probably spun like crazy on his launch which makes the trap speed higher...its pretty obvious that he spun the **** outta his tires, look how bad the 60 ft time is. I have seen my friend run a 14.2 at 104 MPH...pretty rediculous

 

with that trap speed mid to high 14's are very feasible with stock tires.

rule of the thumb goes for every .1 you take off your 60's youll get .2 off your 1/4 mile time.
It works pretty good most of the time

Maybe I'm an idiot.. but why would him having a shitty launch, lead to trap speeds evident of an ET that should be about a full second faster?</TD></TR></TABLE>

when you spin..you have higher MPH where as if you have traction you have lower MPH

huh no!!!!
that mph is simply not a stock gsr in a full weight integra with a system
itr's wont even do that mph

 

sounds good to me. i ran a 15.6 with a almost all stock ls. no weight reduction either!

and not all tracks are the same. at the local one here its .000 is perfect reaction times.

 

yea if i remember correctly .500 is no longer perfect. i think i had lower than that. ill check my slips when i get home.

hes right about the "spin more = higher trap speeds" i ran 15.0 @ 90 with a 2.20 60ft barely any spinning at all.

on the same day, same car my brother ran 15.5 @ 93 with a 2.5 60ft. he spun off the line alot more.

any itr ive seen at the track traps between 94 and 98mph.

 

the only way that my motor isnt stock is if the people who have owned it before me did something to it that i dont know about... and i bought it from a 30 year old asian lady who didnt know if it was vtec and got scared when she experienced it for the first time (when i was test driving the car).

maybe here in australia we just get faster speeds down the strip ... i was running 100ron petrol if that makes a difference, i read on another thread that you guys in the states have pretty poor fuel.
