Hey everyone. Looking for some input as to what I need to work on, do differently to get into the 10's with my car.

I currently have ran the car 3 different night. Pulling the best of an 11.65 at 127mph. Pulling a 1.87 60ft.

Specs:
-98 Civic coupe' No rear interior. Heat/wipers still in car.

Engine
-B18c
-Garrett Gt4088
-Open downpipe
-GSR Trans/OBX LSD

Suspension
-8in Weld rims/24.5x8x15 M/T tires. L8 Compound I believe
-D2 coilover setup


Here is a video of the car last time at the track. What Suspension Settings, Heights would be good to start off of? And launching tips to get faster 60fts. Any tips to warming the tires up better. I generally do a 3-4 second burnout in 2nd gear. My trap speeds show I can run fast, but got some work to do to get there.

 

lower tire psi, launch higher... 3rd gear burn out. weight??? lighten that bitch up

 

Launch a little higher, sounds like you need to ride 1st out a little more so your rpm doesnt drop so much going into 2nd.

 

What he said

 

pull some timing out of 1st gear

 

Whats the reasoning behind that?

Thanks for the input thought. How long should I ride out 1st gear? Car is stripped inside as much as can be. No interior, minus it has a dash and front seats. No door pannels/no rear interior, no tar paper(sound deadner) in car. I an not sure of the weight of the car t the moment, but No P/s, No A/c, No interior, No cruise, Cut bumpers(trimmed to get most of weight off them.

I was trying to launch of my launch limiter at 7500 but would burnout off the line. I am preloading the suspension.....Should I be? Lower my launch and try that?

I was running 8psi during the pass recored. I was running 10psi all other times.

 

6.5psi...my best times were ran at 6.5psi in the slicks u should be goin at least a low 1.7-high 1.6 60ft....whats 1/8mile time and trap speed?

 

try tire pressure around 6-8psi. right around there is best.

3rd gear burnouts. dont let off the ebrake till you can see smoke. then let off the ebrake, and let the tires drag you out. dont let off the gas till you hear the slicks squeel on dry rubber. that means the slicks are dry and warm.

i launch at 6600rpm on my D and i still spin. play with your 2step. start high and keep lowering it until you stop spinning so much.


shift quickly between gears.


you got the trap thats for sure.
