Default B18B EX coupe times...

Went back to the strip a couple of days ago.
Here's my new time:

Left Lane...
65 degrees
Low humidity
32' above sealevel

For all of the people who are just tuning in:
95 Civic EX
No AC or PS, stripped of all soundeadening
96 LS motor and tranny
Stock intake and header
2.25" custom exhaust
15" Slipstreams on 195/50/15 Kumhos set at 22psi front/ 44psi rear
Horrible camber...


Stripped this stuff out before i went:
Rear seats and plastics
Passengerside seat
Rear strutbar
Seatbelts (except driverside)
Spare tire, etc.
Front and rear bumper supports
Rear bumper cover (wind resistance)


I'd like to get some feedback from others with similar setups...

TIA

Nice 60'. Ever weigh your car? I ran a 14.96 with 2.2 60' weighing about 2250 with driver...basically the same setup.

Harm, You are not getting the full contact patch of your tires on the ground. So, basically it leads to less traction...

Oh yeah, it's not a dumb question...

Yes, that is one thing i have to invest in. I was going to go with the Skunk2 kit, but that is not looking so good nowadays...

Am i happy with it...? I would have to say no... Was it affordable...? Yes. Will i be happy with it...? Eventually.

The B18B in an EX coupe is about the same as having stock Integra LS. I have a friend who is running only 2 tenths behind me with a "stripped" LS...

This motor in a lighter chassis would kick azz... But IMHO, this car is not going to be much fun until i boost it...

14.9 huh. Were you losing traction...? What did your slips look like...? What's your setup...?
