more to come...


well,
Took my baby (01 ITR - 41K miles or so...) to the dragstrip on friday night, and I was pleased w/ my results:
(this was my first time drag racing - ever!)


Run on the left was the best one - 14.9 - raced a late model Prelude
Run on the right was my first shot at it, not bad (raced a civic si w/ bolt ons and R cams - plus a slipping clutch)

Mods -
No Power steering
No "junk in the trunk"
Advanced Timing
98 octane gas (prolly didn't even need it...)

otherwise bone stock. And I know - I need to work on reaction time...

Get your 60 ft time down and you could be in the mid 14's

 

not bad at all, more practice, theres def room for improvement

 

I get high 2.3 second 60 foot times and still manage to hit mid 14's. Crappy tires ownz me

 

Got 2.20's on the stock tires.

You've got plenty of room to drop two or three tenths ...... nice work!

 

thanks for the positive feedback
oh, btw the tires are 195/50 S-03's w/ about 15 lbs of pressure - those tires Rock!
Can't wait to try it again, gotta get that launch down...
My buddy is working on a video, I'll post it as soon as I can
Nick

 

nice keep workin on it, you could probably work off a tenth or two. 60fts are key, and try not to spin the tires.

 

I did 2.264 60FT

and

14.15ET @99.5 MPH with stock RE010 tires

 

chris is one to talk

 

yeah launch better

 

whoa nice run!! what rpm's did you launch at, and what mods did you have...
Nick
(who feels a little slow here...)

 

AEM CAI
18deg timing
Testpipe

Thats all!

 

hrmmmm...AEM & test pipe eh??
make that much of a difference?
what did you run bone stock?


well nonetheless I've gotta get my 60' times down, but I'm happy w/ my first runs down the 1/4
thanks for the replys btw...

Nick (who has alot more autoX experience than drag!)

get the 60ft' down to at least 2.2, and 14.9 is kinda slow for a type r

You need to launch at higher rpm, I think.

I got a 2.15 60' on 400 treadwear 910's.

You are running a stickier tire at a lower pressure, you could definitely drop the 60'... I think people are afraid to launch their car at high rpm.

Chris, who thinks you should slip it from 7k. Your clutch will hate you, but you will love your timeslip.

 

I know for a fact you can pull a 2.12 on SO-3's. Do that and your deep in the 14's.

 

nice

 

thanks
Will definately launch harder next time

 

ttt - check out the vid!!

 

ttt - new video!!

 

I pulled 2.110 60ft on 205/50/15 falken ze-502's and the S03's seem to be a better tire....also I did the 2.110 on 23psi so just launch harder....I was launching at 7500

 

7500!!! holy freakin crap!!!
aren't you worried about breaking something??

 

I just went too:

R/T .759
60' 2.346
330 6.385
1/8 9.678
MPH 74.43
1000 12.517
1/4 14.935
MPH 94.37

Comptech Icebox, JDM 4-1 header, azenis @ 18psi and hot as **** weather ;(.

 

Nah.. he's got a clutch, and on top of that, I do the same thing on a stock clutch! Like I said before, people are arfraid to rev these cars!

Chris, who was glad he could help #41 out

 

Those links don't work for me; can anyone else see them!?
