Went to the track....big bummer but also hella fun,pics inside
Well last Sunday i took the Civic to the track for the first time.
It had been running real shitty for a week and the bastard continued to do so when it counted.
The organisation sucked ***** because they "lost?" a bunch of timeslips so i only got one out of three.
I made only 3 runs and stopped because it started raining and i couldn't find what was wrong with me loosing boost.
Funny thing is though...when i decided to quit racing for the day and pulled into the grass,I parked it in front of a Peugeot with a turbo...now i only knew of 1 turbo'ed Peugeot so it had to be none other than Dutchpug and it was! cool stuff!
Anywayz...enough jive for now...

Re: Went to the track....big bummer but also hella fun,pics inside
I had allready payed for it...so crappy running or not..i was gonna go.And maybe i was able to fix something at the track..you never know.
Well somehow if i floor it the power drops real bad,while if i go about half throttle it picks up real good.Wastegate sounds funky too (internal)
Whatever it is...don't matter,the car's going to the junkyard anyway.
Last run in the rain on slicks:
r.t. : 0.871
60ft: zip..the ******** didn't measure that
1/8 mile time :11.547
1/8 mile speed: 105.42 km/h=65.88MPH
1/4 mile time:17.668
1/4 mile speed: 128.34km/h=80.21MPH
Looser <---duhh

i dont think you need a helmet for a car that runs high 17's 
at our local track you don't need a helmet unless you do 13.99 or better, not that it matters, i guess every track is different.
