Went to the track yesterday

plak424 · August 15th, 2010, 12:13 PM

Hey guys went to the track yesterday and I was pretty happy with my times. My best was a 16.68 at 83, but I had a couple reaction times around 0.17-0.19, which was faster than most of the cars I went against. My only problem was I couldn't seem to get a good reaction time and get my car to hook in the same run.

I used my shit tires on my old wheels, but anyone know if any companies make dr's or slicks that would fit the stock 15 in rims?

plak424 · August 15th, 2010, 12:21 PM

oh yeah, whats the widest tire you can put on the stock 15s too

ESG-642T · August 15th, 2010, 02:08 PM

They do, but you don't need them.

Six Banger · August 15th, 2010, 02:37 PM

nice times
but i think esg is right, you dont need slicks on your car if youre putting down close to stock power

cubestang04 · August 15th, 2010, 02:53 PM

what mods?

NeoTokyo · August 15th, 2010, 05:53 PM

Yeah, you really dont needs slicks right now.

silver03gt · August 15th, 2010, 05:57 PM

What rpm are you launching at?

cubestang04 · August 15th, 2010, 06:07 PM

btw, i ran a 16 flat at 86, with cai, intake spacer, mac H pipe, and flowmaster 40s, so u should practice ur launch more, and i have an auto also.

Codeman · August 15th, 2010, 07:59 PM

I ran that slow and I have a ton of mods. It just takes practice, oh and I have a manual. I ended at mid 15s by the end of day. I could not get traction as well. I say just keep racing and practicing. I have been practicing launching and am starting to get a feel for it with decreasing tire spin. I say just practice before you spend a lot of money.

thas lame.. the 2 closest tracks where i live only do 1/8th's =\ but i did get 9.280 at 73mph with reaction time of .432 i have cai and divorced glass packs, and i was using 17" cobra wheels with 315/35/17's on the back.. idk if thats good or not though

For some reason that doesn't seem right for an auto....

street tires?
stock rims?
any weight reduction?

Also as for the slicks, you dont need slicks yet but DR's will help your 60' times which in the end will help your 1/4 mile time. Oh yea, if you havent, start taking advantage of the stock 2k stall converter.

I'm sorry, but this just seems a bit farfetched. Not trying to start anything, but I average 9.0-9.1 1/8 mile times along with stock to mild bolt on new edge GT's. How is it that you ran a 9.1 1/8th with just a CAI and some exhaust work on 315's? Do you have any other mods that aren't listed in your garage or something? Like some nitrous you used to do that or the track you ran on was pointed almost straight downhill?

plak424 · August 15th, 2010, 10:55 PM

Yeah I know I'm not anywhere near the power levels where I would need dr's or slicks but I'm laying out a plan for doing a turbo in the next year and a half, so I'm looking into purchases that will hopefully help me now and then.

How do you use the stock stall converter?

Make the motions of doing a brake stand but don't spin your tire(s). Only bring the rpm's to 2k while you wait for the "tree" to light up, and I am sure you can figure the rest out. While messing with my times one night (got 17 runs in on one night lol) once I started using the stall converter I decreased my times by .1-.2.

Mr. Red Pony · August 15th, 2010, 11:21 PM

I ran my posted time right when I bought the car bone stock.

Oh ok, yeah I already do that, I thought you meant I had to somehow engage the stall converter or something, but I have no idea how that would work lol

Rich J · August 15th, 2010, 11:26 PM

you do the 1/4 in 3.22 @ 412? Damn vtec must have kicked in....
