First time on the track with my ITR.


Modified by Chiller at 4:15 PM 7/18/2004

 

I'm really happy i pulled this time!!!

 

Mods list? 13.7 is a very good time for a type r

 

what are your mods on the car?

been on slicks?

 

First time on slicks, first time on the track!

SMSP header
SMSP high flow cat
SMSP catback
Comptech Ice Box with K&N filter
AEM underdrive pulleys

16" slicks, these slicks were for slalom racing...

Rear seats removed
Spare tire removed
AC removed
Sparco Corsa front seats about a -20 lb weight reduction from the stock seats.

 

nice run

 

I was skeptical, but you posted a video to clear all that up.
I checked it frame by frame.
Your car cleared the staging lights at about 37.03 seconds into the vid. The timing light tripped at exactly 51.53 seconds. That's around 14.5 seconds (amazingly close to what the board said, I think).
Where's that .8 seconds difference?
Not trying to be a dick, but I've never heard of adding RT to your ET... and you DID post the vid for all to scrutinize.

 

 

I was told by the organisers that the RT was added to the times. A friend of mine also ran that day and tested with his apexi RSM and by him subracting his RT time from the final time that was posted the RSM showed the same number by 0.05 seconds off.

To make sense of this I believe in this event the time starts once the back of my car leaves the sensor. The rear end leaves at 37.80 seconds and ends at 51.53 s. Which makes the 13.7s run...

 

Nice times... I ran 13.5's last year with a stock ITR with only CAI and Apexi WS exhaust in my EM1, so I'd say you could prolly come down another few tenths with practice...

 

With or without slicks? Did you do any weight reductions?

No, sorry. The timer start when both staging lights are uncovered by the front tire(this is referred to as 'roll out'). Not when the back of the car leaves. If you don't believe me, post your time slip and I'll put down your video's times next to your slip times. If what you said about the back of the car was really the case, your '60 will be about 1.5 seconds (which I really doubt). Unless the Swiss do drag racing TOTALLY different than everyone else in the world, you ran a 14.5 1/4. Considering the track conditions (&gt;2000 feet, 90F, high humidity) I think I would be OK with that time if I were you.

No way. Stock + I/E ITR's don't run that fast. What track was this at and do you have a slip/video/track pic? What was your trap?

 

I would have to agree with nathan on this one. I outrun itr most of the time and never have I seen one with just a CAI and exhaust run a 13.5. Maybe going downhill with a 100 mile wind at your back. Sorry dude we need proof

 

good job man nice time

 

I was wrong about what i said about the rear of the car. Sorry.

I wish I had a time slip. They told me that it didnt work and that all i could see was the total time and the reaction time... At the track everyone was saying that their times weren't normal and that their times were at least a second off. Im trying to contact the people incharge of the track that I was running in to get answers. The video doesnt lie. And a time like that in those weather conditions is good especially on those type of tires, autocross slicks....

Ill keep you posted!

 

My 13.5's were all around 99-100mph... Best was 13.501 at 100.33mph... The Motor was completely stock internally with the addition of AEM CAI and the Apexi Exhaust... Car was a 99 Civic Si and I was on 22x8x15 slicks... I know its hard to beleive cause I'd call BS too... I'll get you the video of me making multiple 13.5 runs here soon... The track was Portland International Raceway... Portland, Oregon last year on Halloween actually.

 

I wanna see your 60' and 330'.

 

Me too.... But i cant they didnt give me a time slip... Ill be running in a couple weeks so ill be able to know where i really stand with real time slips. This is starting to bother me in not knowing exactly whats going on.

 

You and erics99si both.

 

Went to find the video link from my site and my friend has moved it to somewhere else so I'll post it as soon as I talk to him and find out what the new link will be. I don't have a scanner to scan all the slips from that night though I do have 16 runs I made that night so I'll just type them out for the time being until I can get the video up so for you people raising your BS Flags, just be patient... Again the stats on the car is that the car weight roughly 2550lbs with me in the car.. Rear seats & Passanger seat were removed... Mods other than the ITR swap were AEM CAI, Apexi WS Exhaust and a Exedy Organic clutch to handle the multiple 8K drops... I was on M/T 22x8x15 ET Drag slicks... other than that, its a average daily driven Si Coupe with PS, CC, etc... NO A/C though.

These times were all ran at Portland, Oregon's International Raceway on Oct. 31, 2003 which was the last time the my car has been to the track since I've tore it down and began my build up. Starting run was at 9:14pm and the final run was 1:14am... Shooting for mid 12's this season whenever I get the car back together which should be hopefully mid August... Damn that took a long time to type each slip out.. enjoy!

Well, I'm more than satisfied. 2550 lbs w/ driver and B18C5 w/ I+E on slicks w/ a 1.8 60' will definitely be able to pull a 13.5 ET.
Good job.

You didn't mention the weight reduction or grabby clutch before. That's part of the reason I doubted you. Also, you must be quite a skinny ****** if the car is down to 2550 w/ you in it.

 

I weigh in at about 170lbs... There really isn't any weight reduction done to the car other than the rear seats and passanger seat being removed.. anyhow.. video should be up this morning for you guys to view.

good stuff man... Anyone can be super proud of breaking 13's with a near stock ITR setup.. (it definately takes some skilled driving)

Gotta love the H-T haters though... haha
