Hi guys/girls,

I'll be racing tomorrow @ WSID (as long as the rain stays away).

I'll be in a dead stock silver DC2 VTiR... hoping for a 15.6 - 15.8 :D

Anyone else racing?

Regards,
Tommo :)

[Teggy-Vtir]

gl
u should b gettin it around there =)

[totti]

you should've raced last week tommo

there was a maroon vtir with i/h/e, and i saw him run a 16.2 on 1st run, didnt see any others

can't be f**ked going again

Good luck tho!!

[LAGOOT]

good luck with your run mate!!
let us know how you went ay!

[joneblaze]

16.2 for a mildly modded DC2? What was his 60ft?
What you been running on the dc2R steve?

[bluebird]

16.2 is pretty shocking. It's a simple car to drive really, launch about 5k with a bit of clutch slip, and it'll get onto VTEC quickly. Changing gears fast with the Integras box is a piece of piss... pulling thirds is fun hehe, esp for stock!

Maybe the driver / car / tyres weren't right, I'll be embaressed if I run a 16, but oh well.. i'm doing it for the fun, not really for the time :)

i knew SSS's were quicker than vtir's :p

hehe jk guys yeah i was there watching that night and i think the guy was a really shit driver....his mph werent to bad...around 90mph ( i assume thats about normal?) but yeah his 60'' sucked

[joneblaze]

Some SSS's are slower than GSi's....sif quicker than VTEKK VTiRs... ;)

[Pre_ludachris]

16.2?...
my corolla CSI did 16.1
with a few light mods.!!

i would expect at the very least from a vti-r a 15.8
an automatic could do 16 secs

[Pre_ludachris]

ohh..as for the SSS take that junk and piss it off.!

[bluebird]

Hey guys,

Was a tops night... best I got was a 15.5 @ 91mph. Unfortuantely, after that, my clutch started to go, so my 60ft times became shocking, and I simply couldn't get it any faster. Shame too, but the end of the night I got a 93mph, but couldn't launch hard, or it would just spin the clutch...

Oh well, next time :)

I'm pretty happy with 15.5 for a dead stock DC2 VTiR :) It seems to be what most people get I guess?

[LuKeM]

good time tommo :thumbsup:

[McChook]

15.5 - pretty good - 93mph - awesomely good
Onya Tommo

[totti]

[totti]

Haha..go the kewl shades Tommo...
Nice time. Can't wait to get my little non VTEC DOHC out there... gimme a buzz when you're going next.

Yeah Jase, I'm sure SSS's should be quicker....they're a 2L and newer etc. Spose the ones I've taken on have been severely limited by bad driving. :)
Still, when you're in a GSi, you're always the underdog ;)

[egSi]

dam its good to see sum hondas hittin the quarter :thumbsup:

i should seriously get my arse into gear and go to :o

15.5 = :thumbsup:

[Boost]

When ya guys go to WSID .. let us know... every time ive been .. there are no bloody hondas out there doing the quater....

[Weq]

yeah i made a resolution with myself to go down the quater when i get my shit back on the road... anyone wanna lend me some semi's?

[MKI4EVA]

did u go on the 3rd nov , i was there.

[LuKeM]

i might be going on wednesday the 17th if my car is back in time and i can borrow my mates semi's im there :D

[bluebird]

Ya's can always race on normal tyres (I know I did - hence the dodgy 60ft times :D)

[bluebird]

congrats man

how many runs u get??
what were your 60fts??
I got 8 runs, but another mate of mine had 15. There were 52 cars running, TOTAL... lol.

60fts = 2.3-2.4.. after the clutch went on the third run, I was getting 2.5s, haha.

What times did you run in your DC2 ITR out of interest? I never heard :)

[LuKeM]

yeah i could use my normal tyres.....but i want to do a PB

and am aiming for 2.0 60 footers......maybe even a 1.9 if i totally perfect it hehe :thumbsup:

[totti]

15.007@94mph
60ft 2.38

17"rims with rooted tyres on damp track (was sprinkling)

i will be back hopefully for 24 Nov

Now I'm worried... I was hoping to crack off a 15.0 when I get out there.... on 16s with track rubber......

[totti]

its very different to street, so dont expect to get perfect runs on your first time
i was aiming for under 15.2
next time i'll aim for under 15.0

What was the main differences you found from the street?

I found it reasonably similar in the two different cars i've raced at WSID.. main thing I noticed in a FWD was the bad wheel spinnage that equals in axel tramping, I've never had that problem on the street :!:

[joneblaze]

I'd rather run with my daily driver setup, eg. street trim and rubber. More "realistic". No use slapping on $400 slicks *glances @ the VW ;) ...crazy all out cant!! lol) that I wouldn't be able to afford 52 wks a year...

15.007 Steve? Awesome man! On the 17" Tarmac Evos too! I'd love to come along sometime Dung/Steve/Tommo... just gimme some time to get my shit together... gotta make sure the little DC4 is in decent shape.... high 15's here i come!!! ;)

hey john, i reckon when u beat them u should be proud of yourself whether the sss is good or not, because these races u can never predict who is gonna win......i mean ive beaten cars with my mum's pulsar and u would think the other guy would be faster...hahaha...but now i leaves mums car alone....but ive heard from hanson that uve toggled stuff in ur car, good stuff man!!

[joneblaze]

Yeah, I toggle my volume knob on my HU from low to loud, and my A/C from hot to cold.... it's basically the only thing you can do when you've got a slow car.... :( lol...
Can't afford to play with the big boys...

[Yspool]

Let me know if you guys go on the 24th id love to come too.

Cheers

haha,

It's never about the times anyway. I ran a 13.7 in my last car, this car is two seconds slower, but I don't care, it's still great getting out there and experiencing things!
