I finally got times, nothing special - Honda Forum / Acura Forum

dsrspwr · 09-13-2004, 12:42 PM

for those who were wondering i went up to the track and ran at 10psi. spinning my balls off, my best was 9.36 with a 2.3 60'. the car had some problems though, primarily the running VERY lean at idle, also i was on 17" wheels with rather old nankang ns1 tires. realizing that i lost traction with this kind of power and seeing how i want to upgrade turbos in about a year after a very nice bottom end rebuild (thinking a t3/t4 67 trim), after i fix my lean problem im gonna get some stage 2 axles (if i can find any for a d16) and some 24.5X8 hoosier slicks on some 13X7 weld racing wheels.

Not bad thats a low 14 in the 1/4 mile.
High 13's if you can get some traction and eailsy mid 13's w/slicks.

yea, i started a thread in The Garage about some axles i had found on a website. i wanna fix my lean-ness asap so i can buy the axles/slicks

IMO I'd work on the tuning first then work on the slicks, your axles should be fine, no need to sweat them yet, just don't get to carried away with your launches.

what was your trap speed

dsrspwr · 09-13-2004, 07:56 PM

trap speed...no idea, so embarassed by the time slips i threw them away, i wanna say high 70s?

i wanna upgrade axles so i can launch harder and shift just as hard. i didnt run too much because i wheel hopped so much i was afraid i was gonna break the axles

kinda seems about right for your setup. I think you could hit a low of a 9.2 but not much lower. good job. Nothing to be ashamed about.

threw them away

i keep and log all my timeslips. i have timeslips of 20-30 sec runs. it's good to keep your timeslips and log them down for comparision later on.

dsrspwr · 09-14-2004, 11:22 AM

i used to keep em...normally til a week later then id throw them away

travizx0r · 09-14-2004, 11:58 AM

embarrased hahah shit ive got my timeslip from when i raced the evo

he beat me by about 2 seconds in the 1/8 so that would be something to be embarrased about.

dsrspwr · 09-14-2004, 01:00 PM

no, the embarassing part was my video of it

travizx0r · 09-14-2004, 07:14 PM

the bad thing about that is that i still have the video ahhaaha

dsrspwr · 09-14-2004, 10:17 PM
