1992 Civic VX
B18C1 with i/h/e
Stock, bald, goodyear intrepid tires/vx wheels

Temp: 89 degrees

R/T: .874
60ft: 2.32
1/8: 9.37
1/4: 14.42
MPH: 96.99

Normal times??? I'm looking to upgrade wheels/tires and clutch next. What do you guys think?

the 60ft time is slow. shoot for 2.2 drop your tire pressure to 18 or so.
or put the slicks on run 1.9 and a 13 for sure. good luck

 

Yea, I sometimes get 2.2...but @ sears...the car seems to roll while staged. So I ebrake it and still need to get used to it.

YOU AND THOSE SLICKS TREVER!!!! HAHAHA. Trust me man, the clutch right now is not gonna hold. I'm coming back to socal next week...I'll be in soon for a clutchmasters clutch or something. See u soon.

yeah I had the same problem at sears point. My car would roll when I was staged and give me a red light, so I had to also use the E brake.

 

I thought the new track didn't have that problem anymore...

 

drop those 60 foot times and youll be in the 13.8-13.9 zone.

 

Hopefully I'll be able to do that with new tires. Gonna go with Rotas (since they're cheap and fairly light) and Azenis. Then again...there's the clutch too...

-Rod

 

As long as you make sure that the car is at a full and complete stop whil you are staging you will not have this problem...I've always moved to where I was planning on staging, pulled the e-brake for ~1-2 seconds, all depending if the starting lights had already started.

And if you replace those tires you whould have a low 14 second car/high 13 second car....you need traction.

Austin - most recently my best was a 13.8 with a high 2.1/low 2.2 60ft with a burnt clutch(need to find the slip)

 

Hope so. Do you think going with the Azenis is a wise choice?

-Rod

 

for the price azenis are very good

 

the 60fts do suck but it makes me wonder about his trap speed. the trap is ultra slow. i know its a GSR motor but the trap is slow. u need upper 90MPH to hit 13s and u just dont have it.

 

96.99 isn't upper 90's?

re read my post[QUOTE]96.99 isn't upper 90's?QUOTE]

re read my post. i said he needs upper 90s to hit the times everyone is expecting. upper 90s = upper 13s lower 14s dependin on 60ft.

 

what are you trying to say?
you said he needs to hit upper 90's to hit the high 13 low 14 range.
I'm saying 96.99 is high 90's or does high 90's start at 97.00?

 

I've been using my e-brake for so long at Sears (since 1994), that I don't remem which lane would make me roll. But I'm pretty sure it's the right lane.
