Please voice your opinons on how you think I did tonight at the track! All opinons welcome good or bad.

Alright, I have a 2000 Civic Si with AEM Cold Air Intake, Tanabe Racing medalion exhaust, Clutchnet Stage 2 Clutch, and a ZEX 10.5lb. flywheel, timing at 18 degrees, back seat out. I ran at the track tonight for the first time with this car. Also, my shocks are super blown like I mean fluid squirting out of the front shocks like a squirt gun. I made a total of 7 runs with the best being a:

R/T-.948
60'-2.356
1/8-9.834
1/8 MPH-72.83
1/4-15.244
1/4 MPH-90.31

These runs were made on Nitto 450's (Shitty Tires), doing a burnout before each run. I am also a 270lb. driver. I was consistant with the times being between 15.2-15.4 vith 60fts. varying between 2.3-2.5. I am going to get shocks and thengo back to the track and see what I run. I am looking for a 14.9 with these mods. I think I could of had it tonight but the track was shitty I was getting wheel hop from the 3rd to 4th shift.

My freind also was running in his Nitro Si he ran a:

R/T-1.279
60'-2.341
1/8-9.167
1/8 MPH-83.01
1/4-13.907
1/4 MPH-101.07

His runs were made on Yokohama Street tires.

get rid of the 450's, then some practice. The 450's are your worst nightmare!

Being 220-235 lbs, I can relate on thw weight!

Yeah, everyone at the track told me to get rid of them. I know they suck but they came on my rims when got them so I guess I will use them until they are gone. With good tires and some decent shocks I should be a 15.0.

 

Anyone else have a Opinon on my times? Good or Bad!

 

How are you getting wheel hop from 3rd to 4th??

 

Not bad at all... you're just about where you should be for your setup... I'm 15.0 on a 2000 Si with somewhat similar setup...

 

Sounds about right. Get that 60 down to a 2.2 and you got a 15.0 on a good day.

 

I was running similar 60's with 450's on my 'rex, with the Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Positions I was netting 2.0/2.1's consistantly. I've got a set of 205/50/R15 Potenza's in the mail to replace my crappy Firestones up front (which are going to the rear).

 

I am getting whel hop casue i got a 6 puck clutch and 10.5 lb. flywheel with blown *** shock in the front...Like i mean there is oil sqirting out like a squirt gun!

 

anyone else?

 

Yeah with a 2.2 60' you should run a 15.0. That'll about be the limit without less weight or more power....

Slicks will get you 14's...........

 

Yeah, me. I think your pretty ******* stupid for drag racing with blown front shocks. Do you have a death wish or something?

 

Hey, they do the job to some degree! but yes I know I shouln't have raced I only ran a few times. Thanks for your input. I wont be goign back until i get shocks cause I know there is no point. Thanx again!
