I was completely shocked by the times we were running today.

Drove 120 miles to the track, changed the spark plugs, let some air out of the tires, ran 12.90's and 12.80's on street tires and full exhaust, and drove back home.

Best time:
60' 1.991
1/8 8.33 @ 87 mph
1/4 12.82 @ 110 mph

ALL MOTOR!

Thats a 1.99 60' on 205/50R15 Falken Aziens!

nice! so what was your best before the build?

 

Nice time's

 

wow, you got a 1.991 60' on street tires? Thats pretty wicked

 

very nice.

I ran similar time with my civic last time out on 1700-1800 lb (race car in progress) 12.8 @ 112 on goodyear eagle f1s 205/50zr15 with 2.1 60f times.

Now to do it in a street car is something special, If you decide to run with slicks in the future make sure you have extra axles or a alternate method to get the car and whoever you are at the track with home.

 

****.. i hit 1.9 on slicks..

 

any info on your setup? Good times for street tires.

 

Thanks guys. I was suprised to run 1.99 on street tires too. My other 60's were 2.0's

Last May, I ran a 13.8 with 187 whp and the car at 2200 lbs. I added the shocks, crossmember, more hp, and took out weight.

Car: 1994 Honda Civic hatch - 2150 lbs w/ Driver
Engine: 1995 H22 - 209 whp, 157 ft/lbs
Suspension: Neuspeed Race Springs, Tokico Illumina Adjustable Rear Shocks, MB Products Front Crossmember
Tires: 205/50R15 Falken Azenis

what weight did you take out?

 

Good Pass...The 1.99 on azenis, I bet you have a slipping clutch. Look into it.

Suprdave

 

Very respectable times and 60 foot! Some good driving skills there for sure.

 

congrats man

 

1.99 on azenis that is NUTZ! all i could must was a 2.1 and that with nitto 555rs........what suspension mods do you have?

 

nice. im jealous

 

Thanks again guys.

SuperDave - Now that you mention it, it was kind of slipping from 1st to 2nd, but I wasn't sure if it was the tires. I just have the Exedy clutch, so I bet its that. How did you come to that conclusion?

The interior of the car is gutted, no door panels, no dash (MB fibeglass dash going in this winter), only the driver's seat (Sparco Sprint), fiberglass hatch, cf hood, etc. I still have the factory glass windows, doors, and bumpers

Because Azenis are terrible tires for drag racing. The only other person I heard of pull a 1.9 was T3T4GSR, he's local to me...His clutch was slipping too, and as soon as he put a real clutch in there I heard he couldn't do better than a 2.4 on the same tires. A slipping clutch helps in situation like yours, but I guarantee that if you bolt slicks on, it will be a goner. Get a real clutch and some 22x8x13s, and do some damage.

PS: What did you weigh-in @?

what kind of dyno was the 209whp from?

seems kinda low for all those mods

 

WOW, that's badass! Congrats on the great time!

Also, i've noticed the same thing in my turbo del sol, a bad clutch can be a good thing

Also, do you have slips by anychance or a vid?! I wanna see it

 

 

wow, that's DAMN good What's your launching method?

 

nice 60ft for street tires

 

2300 rpm or so dump/slip. But like SuprDave spredicted, the clutch is starting to go so that helped with the 60's.

 

too bad we couldn't turn this into an advantage w/ FWD.
