Another Just Got Back from the Track Thread
 

Just made it to the 1/8th mile track near where I live. My first time ever drag racing. Had a blast.

The car:
92 Civic CX
Stock d16z6 out of a SI with 180k miles swapped in
Stock P000B transmission out of same SI
Kumo Touring Plus 732s on the front at 17 psi (360 treadwear I think)
Haven't gotten around to hardwiring the Vtec or the 4 wire o2 sensor up so it throws cels

I was car 78

Yea, I know I need some boost. Hopefully I will by the end of summer.
Comments, complaints, and tips are welcome.

Re: Another Just Got Back from the Track Thread
 

what do you expect out of a N/A 97cid driven by a noob?

Re: Another Just Got Back from the Track Thread
 

don't feel bad, thats about what a friend of mine used to run in his svt focus with intake/tb/testpipe/exhaust/nice suspension and tires

My old Monte Carlo SS clone with a tired 355/and a stock rear, ran in the low 11's. :8 you would have dusted me for sure :6 .................

Then I rebuilt the fucker and ran a 9.6@76

lol, thanks
and i don't feel bad, i expected to get toasted by most everyone. i still had a ton of fun and will definatley be back there some more over the summer. i even beat 2 cars out of like 8 runs. the first was a jaguar v12 driven by a guy with one leg. pretty sure it was an automatic. i was trying to figure out what rpm was best to launch and bogged commin out of the hole. i ran a 11.0 he ran a 11.1 lol. i thought it was funny since he had 3x the cylinders. The second car i beat was a 10.5 mustang. he was about at half track and his hood comes unpinned or something and flops up over his windshield. he let off with like a 1.5 second advantage at 330' and i got he win ;D.

lol

:3

how sure?

Re: Another Just Got Back from the Track Thread
 

pretty sure, i remember lookin over at him when i was runnin out 2nd cause he was a half car ahead and he had both hands on the wheel. he got me out of the launch cause i bogged and he had rwd i supose.

what does everyone else launch their rides at? i found i did the best at about 5k and just dump the cluch, no feathering. i really need to get chipped and use a full throttle launch program.

Thats slow as dick, put a turbo on that bitch. i wouldn't even post up a time that horrible.

Re: Another Just Got Back from the Track Thread
 

Well, I've got some more slow times for everyone to enjoy. Exact same setup as last friday, but it was about 20* colder here tonight.

Re: Another Just Got Back from the Track Thread
 

not bad times forf a stock z6 i see ricers with b16 hatches at the local 1/8 that can barelly make that time cause that cant drive for ---- , besides its not all about how fast you car is its about having fun and its always good to learn your car with no power then a lot of power

Re: Another Just Got Back from the Track Thread
 

idk what the deal is at my track but a perfect light is .500 the only other drag racing i see is on tv and they use a .000 perfect light instead. i guess it might be the fact that they do a pro light where all 3 yellow bulbs light at once instead of a countdown like at this strip.

and it will be boosted by the end of the summer, i just need to knock out a few other projects first. i kind of want this thread to show my progress through the summer
