I got 3 runs in at the track yesterday at atco raceway in NJ.

Car:

Model: 06' LX 5spd
Mods: None - 100% stock
Tire pressure: 32psi all around
Conditions: High humidity, thunderstorms in the area

My best:

Launch: 3100 RPM semi-dump
RT: .736
60': 2.342
330: 6.692
1/8: 10.272
MPH: 68.17
1000: 13.384
1/4 16.010
mph: 86.63

More info about the run:

I kept the tire pressure at 32psi all around because i want to compare future runs with tweaked air pressure. I just called the track and the elevation is 93 ft above sea level.

Not bad for a first time out...any suggestions/comments welcome

I did not stage deep...would this be the reason for a slow rxn time? My other runs I staged deep with rxn times of .374 and .478 respectively, however my 60' times were significantly slower.

stick or auto?

 

A non si on the track i hope you had some nice upgrades.

 

thats pretty good stick or auto? what did you launch at? did you lower your tire pressure? just curious.

 

So strange.

I ran 15.6 @ 85.9. U ran 86.6.

Whats the elevation at atco ? More or less than 550 above ?

I run at Island Dragway in NJ.

BTW also Lx, Sedan, Crush bent exhaust.

 

^ 15.6 in an LX sedan? I know you said it but its hard to believe.

I'm sure it's a stick. The autos run high 16's.

 

good way to screw with your warranty. but im sure you guys are dumbazz loaded, just ****** your brand new cars like that.

If you notice, this board is made up of people who modify their car and in the process void their warranty. Take your rant somewhere else, nobody cares.

 

I updated the first post to include more info about the run.

edit: atco raceway is 93 ft above sea lvl

WTF?

Are you the HT fairy god mother or something?

Sounds like stick times and I think a 15.5 is easily had with a good set of tires on that car --- look at the 60's --- plenty of room

I have seen people with EM1 Si's go slower Good job to Nikko and keep practicing

 

Ok now the trap speed makes more sense to me.

Sweet dude. Practice on the shifting to cut a few tenths.

My worst run was 15.7 @ 85 with 38 psi in the tires. Launched around 3500. 2.3 60 ft.
Best was 15.6 @85 with 18 psi in the tires. 2.2 60 ft
5k dump clutch. Track closed before I could get more runs.
I was hoping for 15.5, and I know its in it lol.

Ive gotta stop taking slow cars to the track haha.

As long as you dont do it to your car, what the hell is it to you what other people do to their cars? Are you jealous or somthing to be so angry on this site?

 

Wow those times are surprisingly low to me. My EX feels too slow to do even a 16 flat

 

Your Ex is heavier lol

Hell when I put my 120 lb girlfriend in the passenger seat of my turbo civic it feels slow.

BTW Im beating the car up as bad as possible. Full throttle shifting also.

 

are you a ricer? time slips for proof. pulling BS flag on this. your lx is slow as crap. was there an invisible midget pushing your car from behind?

 

Come to island dragway.

I dont run 15.6 or better and ill pay for ur gas and entry fee.

Yes im a ricer.

I also ran 13.7 in a 97 4 door civic on 7 psi.
Slips are up here on ht for that.

But that was bullshit too before I posted slips.

And yes ********. My LX is slow as crap, I never said it wasnt. The #'s show it.

 

lets keep a flame war out of this...it might actually be a healthy discussion on a the car...

Oh I forgot...its HT

 

those times are extremely slow for an lx. i ran a 15.8 in my civic si. it was about 95 degrees outside, and i dont know the elevation but i know the car would do better elsewhere because i ran against a supercharged prelude SH and he only won by 2 tenths (15.6). post some slips cuz i wanna see this. and im definitely going to have to go back out to the track and see what my car will do once it cools down. im just pissed that ur time was lower than mine.

16.01 LX vs. 15.8 SI...and ur saying the time is extremly slow...

air temp on thursday night was roughly low 90s. Your post makes no sense.


EDIT: ps - driver skill factors into how 'fast' your car is. Whereas you can take ur SI to 15.8, I may be able to take it to 14.3-14.5...its all about the 60' which determines how 'fast' you car is.

i was talking to nikko411. i heard he's a ***.

 

i didnt mean to type SLOW, i meant to type LOW. no S.

 

and i understand the driver is a big factor. i have been to the track many times, i figured it was due to the weather and the fact that the car was at 601 miles when i ran it and it had literally just been broken in. excuses excuses i know, but i havent had time to get back out to the track now and see what it will do. and dont say that "YOU" can push my car another second or more faster because YOU dont know that. u can be a dick if u want to though... freedom of speech. i still wanna see the slips.

 

i &lt;3 ht...i'll post slips by monday
