Hey HT. I ran my Civic For the first time friday: I ran a 13.8. The first thing I thought was this car is fast... but 13.8? I was only able to fit another run in but I was redlighted, and being my 4th time total running at the track, I waited 2 seconds along with the guy next to me because of confusion and ran a 16. Did the track mess up or did the previous owner of the car do something to the motor that I don't know about? MY guess is he put a thinner head gasket. The motor dosent have enough bottom-end torque to have Type-R pistons, even though its time disproves this.

I will scan my slips as soon as I get this scanner running. Please don't trash talk because I didn't post to see it. I posted to get some ideas on what happened, and which headers I should buy which won't bother my AC or Crossmember.

I think the track messed up. There's no way you pulled a 1.2 60ft time.

agreed.

 

A 230whp civic EF, gutted, with slicks, best I've seen was 1.6 60ft. Your slip is wrong, sorry dude.

 

Did you have slicks?

But from the times I think the track had to mess up... 1.2 60' wow.. lol

 

1.7 60 ft. look like this. I'm sure whatever you have, doesn't pull like that.

i think you ran the 1/8th mile and your slip is well not your slip.

ps: loveing the pictures on your myspace :-p

 

You also ran your 13.8 at under 100 trap....

Stuff is just not adding up at all.

 

3.988 then a 1.2 ???????

thats def the discrepancy, i couldnt tell you why, but thats def it.

 

keep the receipt.. frame it or something, and show it off to your friends..

haha!!

 

ok the 13.8 I do believe but the 60 ft is not to believe. the reason I believe the 13.8 because I ran my buddy's CRX with a b16 short intake, and DC header no slicks and full interior. thats what I got.

 

Wow, I was so happy for a couple hours... I guess its just a myth. I am running bald tires....

If anyone knows how to get these Canon Lide 20 drivers working I would be more than happy.

If you would of read, I waited at the tree for a good 2 seconds (I counted)


One other thing, why would all the times add up except the 60'? - For some reason I believe the slip except for the 60' (not because its mine-ha), I counted at least 2 seconds when I was redlighted. My slips are almost 2 seconds apart on most of the times. That and if a b18b can run a 2.- 60' then a b16 in a positively lighter chassis with modifications can run less...

 

How low is the car? Sometimes extremely low cars wont trip the lights until late giving you a "headstart", that would explain the 60 foot. With 95mph trap speeds, you are still capable of low 14's easy though.

 

My car is an inch and a quarter from tuckin...
