Why I need turbo, Went to 1/4 track tonight!
 

Well i went to the track tonight for the hell of it to see what i can get out my 96 civic CX hatch(long ass gears). well i went alright and gotta see a few bad ass cars but this is what i ran(best run of the night/last run)

• R/T 0.958(yeah dont have tach cant get launch consistancy)
• 60' 2.638
• 330' 7.282
• 1/8 11.062
• mph 65.530
• 1000' 14.341
• 1/4 17.149
• mph 80.000

this was with a granny launch, cant get any traction with 13's.
hittting rev limiter in first.
no air filter.
15psi less tire pressure
and it was cold out

dunno this is kinda adictive probably will run a few more times N/A to get better reaction times then wait till i go turbo, this summer.

any driver tips to make me faster?

hey mike i was just messing with u... However its really hard to explain or even teach someone how to drive.. kind of just something you have to do. But your definately launching to high. Your main problem is you have no power so i wouldnt be bothered by those times to much. just keep it an estimated low rpm and launch and spin the clutch a lil to get the rpms up
Thats the best i can do for u. also one of my clutches might help you

i dunno if i spin at all i loose like quarter second plus iam pushing the car the most i can almost to redline. iam changing into 3rd at 72ish and my max speed is 80 so my super tall gears are hurting me, iam going to work on my reaction time but need a tach since i cant really tell what rpm iam in when i launch. iam just ------- around till i get a turbo and its kinda fun beating your own times. but i did beat my freinds 94 4cylinder nissian truck with a KA24DE

i said 96 civic CX so you should know that it is a d16y7 with 16 valves, yeah iam collecting my parts for boost just wanted to get some base runs

leave when you see the last yellow, and go balls out.


If your driving Hotrex's car, leave on the first yellow. ;D

Re:Why I need turbo, Went to 1/4 track tonight!
 

yeah thats what i do but iam concentrating on rpms(by ear) more than iam the lights because i easily spin the tires

I have a new civic with no tach and launch it nicely everytime i try to, i just dont get excited and think i have to get a huge jump. Just a tad bit higher then idle and then slowly dump it
