not happy with my times. the best i did was a 15.1 @92mph and it spun entirely through 2nd gear i couldnt get any traction. 60 ft tiem was horrible too at 2.4. any tips on how to improve 60 ft times?????

depends on what your set up is, waht kind of tires, motor, ecu, things like that can help ppl help you better

 

b18b with I/E/clutchmasters clutch in a 95 ej coupe. bout to do some major wieght reduction in the car getting it ready for the next time i run.

 

definitly seems like you could use some BETTTER tires.

weight reduction without getting better rubber won't help much with that un-nessecary tire spin.

 

Get a quaife.

 

Tires would definitely help. Also, you might want to adjust how you let the clutch out or the rpm at which you launch at. On street tires you could try to let the clutch out slower instead of dumping it. I know it can be frustrating waiting for the tires to hook up.

BTW - a 15.1 @ 92 is pretty much on par for a b18b. It's not bad. If you get your 60 ft times down you'll be running pretty good.

 

Practice driving. You should never "spin through all of 2nd" with your setup unless you suck at life and get all nervous and floor it when you feel your tires initially break loose. In fact, you should hear a little bark and nothing more when shifting from 1st to 2nd with the engine and mods that you're running. People with turbo b18c's don't spin through all of 2nd...

The best mod you can make is a better driver. Lightening your car will only hurt your case if you don't know how to drive.

 

i dunt suck at driving i have been driving a 5 spd since i was 15 and am now 22. this is the first time running on those tires, and with the new motor. also most of those gusy with b18c turbo cars or ussually on slicks or radials at least not on 14" steelie street pep boys special tires.

 

I agree, my bud with a 95 b18b in his 94 dx coupe, hit 15.1 pretty consistently and yeah he too wants to get much better times..... now has i/e and better tires plus better suspension... wonder how much better he'll do.

 

What is your 60ft? Every FWD car over 70 hp has traction problems. Unless your running slicks you will spin the tires out of the hole. The key is letting off enough to keep the wheelspin down. As long as your at least at a 2.3 60ft then your about where you should be.

 

what track did u race at??? i was at englishtown yesterday

 

at etown i had the green coupe with the white rear bumper (lol dunt ask) and c west front. what car was urs ???????

 

even if you have crappy tires drop the tire pressure down to around 20 lbs or less and you will pick up some traction

 

i think that is good, i had **** tires and a decent stock clutch, i ran 15.2 in my 92 cx hatch with b18b

 

Yeah I agree with you, I think that 15.1 is not a bad time at all coming from a coupe.

 

i was happy to get 15.003 @93 MPH in my 97 coupe with a b16, this weekend...im hoping to improve that with some better drivin and drag radials soon

word to coupes...they are so damn heavy

 

thats not a bad time at all
if you get that 60' down to 2.3~ you will be pushing a 14.8~

thats about right for an LS motor too.

 

same exact thing for me 92 cx wiht ls swap shitty tranny tho

 

hey guys im in nj too and want to start racing my civic
when is e town open for cars like us?
any open track nights?

 

Its open just about every fri and wed 5-10 its 20$ to race 10$ to watch, ill be there on fri with my slow *** red coupe, 16.1 is an amazing feeling people.

 

i had the red hatch that was parked like right behind u then lol.........im pretty sure n e way? green coupe white bumper?

 

where u in lane 5 or 4???? what did u run that night anyhows..**** lol small *** world after all....next time just come up n say whats up. tryin to be der like 2 times at least a month

 

if coupes are so damn heavy, then how does the si hatch weigh more then the lx 4 door??? read up dumb *** before you start spittin **** you don't know.

damn freak out dude... . Coupes are heavier than most hatches except for the si because it has all of the extra power features and stuff that makes it heavy.

 

i know, i came off as harsh. but to many people down coupes and sedans, i own a dx hatch, and i am standing up for the coupe and sedan guys. and si's don't come with all that power stuff, unless the dealer installs them, read that post. i am not calling you a newb but that dude, don't know his ****.
