Well, now that I got you guys in here. Last night we ran our street civic for the first time at the track. The run was on nitto drag radials and was my first time driving a fwd car with some *****. Anyway, the pass was made on only 18psi and ran 12.4@126mph. I rolled it out of the hole and babied 1st and 2nd trying not to break my tranny or axles.I have never seen a high hp civic run at the track on street tires so I would like what some of you guys have run on street tires.

Very cool. There's a guy here that ran (taking from memory) 12.3 on street tires. b18c1 in a nice EG hatch. His name on here is 9psi Hybrid. His best on slicks is 11.6. Throw some slicks on there

 

do you know what his mph was?? Im switching out the type r tranny for a b16 with a spool or welded diff and some prodrive axles and then I'm going to hit the track.I just hate to kill a 1400.00 tranny.

 

dude your not gonna break axles on street tires....................

 

Sometimes on street tires if the wheel hop is bad and the car is slammed it can break an axle I have seen it happen too many time's.Hell James Conway, was taking pictures for super street, he did dry hops for the camera and broke an outer wtf?I think if the car is setup right running on slicks can be easier on on the whole drive train. Jason

 

I agree 100% with you. I wasnt gonna reply, but common sense tells you that you can break an axle with just an agressive tire hop. I have seen it happen on the streets on street tires.better to be safe than sorry. It's always a plus when you can drive home fromt he track.

 

12.0 @ 130 on big boost.. poor tune

11.89 @ 126 on lowboost + pump gas and pretty dern good tune


the best of slicks 11.6 @ 121 was last year with about 150-200 less Hp

congrats on the good pass with street tires.. keep trying

 

No i dont sorry.

 

ALSO
since u babied it
what was ur reaction time????
60 ft????

 

reaction was over 1 sec and 60 ft 2.3 1/8 mile was 8.5.

 

I just told you..

refer to my post earlier

 

wow
with my 12.5 @110
it was
.7 reaction
and
1.7 60ft

 

nice 60ft!! remember the reaction time plays no role in the e.t or mph. I just sit at the light until I'm ready!!

 

ya,
tru tru

o mine was on slicks by the way,

should of been liek 12,9 on streets


BFG'S 225/55/15 are the best

Nice time.

 

9psihybrid went 12.2 @ 120+ at our last Import day.

I beat him in the second round of elimins, he spun on launch and knew I was deadly consistant.

 

Hey Mista Bone..

This is Andy, im the guy that was there with Robbie..

we were really having some tuning issues that day .. it didnt want to run on racegas @ all .. it was poppin and smokin all the way down the track.. wouldnt rev or anything. Its amazing what too much fuel + too much octane will make a motor do.

12.4 @ 119
12.2 @ 121 or something was the best of the day . ( only 3 passes )

maybe we can all hope he doesnt sell it so we can make some mid 11 second passes on drag radials next year.

Keep up the Single Cam Nitrous Power!!!

 

 

My best on 555r's is a 12.4@118

 

liar

 

Keep in mind, for you curve-challanged drivers that some "street legal" DOT-approved autocross tires are REALLY soft. They essentially are slicks with grooves. Using these could give a very biased view of what's achievable on "street tires."

 

liar

 

was this the green civic thats completely stripped? nice run anyway

 

well i can vouch for him,actually we lined up together in the last run of the night,this car is very fast and it's a sleeper
