Buddy ran a 13.51 in a 89 CRX at Capitol tonite on the motor - no NOS, no cam upgrade....

 

Turbo? Supercharger?

 

Is that in the 1/8th mile? Because there's no way he did that with a straight-up Mini-Me in the 1/4.

 

The best I've seen mini-me run was 13.99 in a crx hf FULLY gutted with i/h/e and slicks.

 

Nope, no power assist and no turbo or nitrous. He runs 11:1 pistons, stock head and valvetrain, bottom end otherwise stock. I will try to get a trap speed when I talk to him later today. He does remove the pass seat and all the crap out of the rear & radio, but it still has carpet and door panels - not a stripper.He also uncorked the exhaust (ran open header). And Capitol is 1/4 mile.He did also use slicks but only was at 2.1 60 ft.

He is a mainline Honda mech who races around here occ.That is a for real time and NOT a BSer....

 

Red Civic T, can u please give me his email? i need a little info on the swap.

 

cough*bulshit*cough...um maybe he got the numbers crossed try 15.31...

 

That is not BS, but if you can not accept it then we are trying to make Capitol this Fri. night upcoming. I guess if you can't see it then too bad. Been done, and that is the way it is.

I will tell you he is a Honda mech who has done a lot in racing before. Since there is NOBODY in the area here to do swaps without giving away your firstborn, not too many running like that. He gets swamped by word of mouth but have to filter things through me. Ask me questions and I will try to get them through to him.

BTW, trap speed 101.5 on that. On one run he only did a 13.80 as the pass side tire lost air, and found to be at only 5lbs.

Can't wait to see it with a Zex or WebCam and dialed in! Actually I am trying to beat him in my car, but since I did not run yesterday I better come loaded next week (modded b16a in a 91 EX 4 dr).

No need to BS, and will tell you that we are looking for better. It does kill me how people like to go hating like that - sort of reminds me of the gold ole boy V8 crowd when we hurt on them. Really it is better that folks don't think we can run the number....

 

dude, u have IMs disabled so i'll just send u an email w/ some questions that i have for that guy if u dont mind. this is really importand for me since i need to get my car tuned right

 

ok, email answered....

 

thats damn fast for a mini-me. I know mini me can be pretty quick since I use to have one..... but not sure if it can be done with only those mods though. Any dyno numbers or HP estimates? Along with EST. weight of car? Seems like you always get really fast ET on that track. Your numbers never seem to match anything I've ever seen. Ever think of getting this on digital camera so we can all DL MPG's to witness this? Not saying I dont beleive you.. but its just hard to imagine such fast times with such little mods...wondering what kinda condition you guys race under.
(temp, altitude, traction,etc)

 

sound possible to me , 11:1 pistons,racinng fuel and slicks!

 

Fri. conditions" approx 60F, sealevel, little bit of humidity, good traction. I want a number in my car next Fri. if I can get out of work by 430 PM. Better than MIR because you can get as many runs as you can fit in by 10 PM and only $10 plus if you want to race anybody you can....

No race gas in the car, but Joe a pretty good and aggressive driver - broke in axle in my b16a when I let him drive it...

 

Very possible!

Local CRX runs 14.3 in full street trim on drag radials.
Stock motor rebuilt with 88-89 Teg pistons (11:1) anf full interior + WW body kit.

Practice the driving!
BTW 1.875 60 ft on slicks here.

 

Yes I am. Besides he owes me for the Y8/GSR setup.

 

Well, I'm local, and that track was my haunting ground with the R, maybe I should swing down there and check it out ........ if my wife will let me get out on a Friday night without her and the kid!

 

I'll be there Friday night (last friday night of the season BTW) but will likely be running street tires cuz I'm too lazy.
Besides gotta see what Tim and BASZ are up too.

BTW.... Tim if you read this, past is history, LETS HAVE FUN!
