I ran my gs-r CX yesterday at Sacramento Raceway and it was fricken hot out there.

My time was very poor IMO.

R/T: .994
I1: 2.927
I2: 6.613
I3: 9.928
MPH(I3): 75.036
I4: 12.717

ET: 15.064
MPH: 97.126

I basically launched @ 5k and I was running 14" Falken Ziex's. I as soon as I launched at 5K, my RPM's would be at 9K right away.

 

What color is your EG? I was there in a Black EF hatch but i couldn't run because my tranny mount broke.

 

one of the many white ones that was there. I had amber corners and it looked like this...

 

Wow....is that a 2.927 60' time?

 

yups i saw your old EF there and I was chit chatting with the new owner and his friends.

 

yea i was out there and i was a bit disappointed to see that alot of the hatches with b16 and b18 run 15s...it makes me worry to think i could run a 15 also...i going to be running my gsr crx soon when and already planning on something in the low 14s but this weekend i have been a little discouraged...what is you set up in the CX?

 

the internals are all stock. all i really have in there is a skunk2 manifold, sprung 4 puck clutch, CM 9.5 flywheel, ff.special.1 program from KATMAN, and a Magnaflo exhaust. my launches sucked. I got some slicks and i will e headed out to Sears point real soon. there was too much tire spin. i even got a 3rd to 4th gear chirp.

 

yea i basically have everything you have except i still run a stock p72 and my skunk im is still on the floor in the garage...what type of suspension are you running on also?

 

Drop that 60' time and you should be able to run mid-high 14s.

 

skunk2 adjustables. the soft ones for a Civic i want the integ rates. my car wasn't slammed when i ran. it was raised up a little so i could use the whole tire instead of just the edge.

 

wow you should definitely run low 14's or high 13's with that mph. just work on the launch and you should get those times. try launching at about 3 on those tires and that will help a lot.

 

ur MPH is high, u can definl get into the 14's, u just need more practice

 

You're actually in range for high 13's...

 

Lol. What did it run?

 

yea i was there too. didnt run my car but my friend did. damn it was hot was **** yesterday. im all burnt and dark today. alot of fast cars could of been faster if it wasnt so damn hot.

 

i didn't see because he was right behind me at the lights.

 

tiiiiight did u see me there running my black turbo coupe? the one that smoked all the way down the track

er wait CMI?

2.9 60ft time???? Ouch. You need to work on that.

 

I'm thinking that it was ~110-115 on the blacktop...way to hot for me

I was helping the black gsr Fast8 car.

you should just learn to launch on street tires before you put slicks on the car...

thats a horrible launch...just rediculus...not trying to flame...but you should be pulling a 2.2 or 2.1 60 ft on those tires...that's a high 13 second car

 

As harsh as his words might sound... they're true. I remember something i heard on "Home Improvement" during my lunch break the other day... "Only a bad carpenter blames his tools". I'm not saying you're a bad carpenter or anything but you should really learn how to launch on street tires before moving up to slicks, a 2.9 is really really bad. Sport Compact Car was running 2.8/2.9's on street tires and then ran a BEST of a 2.2 i believe on slicks, they should have been running low 2's on street tires and 1.6/1.7 on slicks. Better driving is the number one way to getting your car faster, and way cheaper than aftermarket parts.

 

I ran 2.2 60 ft times on my 13'' vx wheels with crappy stock tires. You should easily be able to bring urs down also. Just practice!

Jason the damn school bus wouldnt break out of the 15s this time. The best time so far is a 14.8. But hes still workin on his launching. One of the other guys that was with us in his b17a teg blew cyl #1 on a 14.0 run with a 75 shot and i bent a valve in the dx on friday night before we went so all in all it was an expensive weekend for us. I raced the 4dr auto teg all weekend and ran a consistant 17.1 all stock LOL but it was fun had consistent .550-.580 reaction times so im getting better. Anyone have a d16z6 or b18b swap for sale? I need a new motor.

 

i have ran in and know a guy who was running 13.9 wiht a gutted cx wiht a b18c

all stock exaust and motor u can do better

 

See my sig.....your mph is good for LOW 14's on streets and mid/high 13's on slicks.
I ran 2.2's on streets for that run and you should be able to also...
