thanks to yonas, luzinit, and barefoot for all your helpful hints and tips.
Cheers guys :)

[NeRV]

haha awesome dude.. atleast you had fun :P

[jdmlvn]

thats lightning fast for an stock ek4.:)

[totti]

congrats on your time

there's something wierd about WSID, pulling almost impossible times from all sorts of cars

[xtercii]

that was an ek4? thought the front is the face lifted model or the owner did a conversion?

[zco]

look at pics of my car . it has a sunroof. its an ek4
i did the front end conversion :)

totti: you saying my times arent real/accurate ?? :(

[aaronng]

congrats on your time

Maybe because it's used every week for open drags, there is a thick layer of sticky rubber on the strip.

[dc2dc2dc2]

18's ftw !

[Q_ball]

Well done Zco :)
Happy for ya mate!

[sydteg21]

zco , man good time man, next time i will go with ya bro: )

[patchwick]

very good e/t for a 1st timer!..congrats!!

[kayot1k]

stock standard ? WTF awesomeness !!

so no exhaust at all ... damn impressive

[zco]

stndard exhaust. stndard hdeaers. stndard ecu. only mod was the custom CAI & play around with coil settings. run low petrol. high psi tyres on rear.

[luzinit]

hahahahhahah AWESOME cuz. u beat me bitch, i gotta get back there and run a better time now.. hahahahah

[luzinit]

congrats on your time

there's something wierd about WSID, pulling almost impossible times from all sorts of cars

i know what you mean steve, but, having said that, not every ek4 that's been at WSID has ran a sub 15 1/4..

like when i ran my time, i had 89mph, and ran 14.9, zco prob has a freak b16a cos hes stock standard with intake and doing 91mph!

it's just about being smart and preparing for the track, and with the right tips, freak times can be done :P

[Da1nONLY]

Congrats dude!!
awesome time for a stock Civic!! :)

[fatboyz39]

congrats zco. Good time for a noob.

[EG5]

Nice one zico :)

[JDM.Power]

pretty f*cking good zco man!!
happy for you.
14.790!! very nice time.
next year will go together when i get my car, and we both try to beat my brother. lol, i wish.

[aaronng]

Amazing time. Zco and his freaky b16a.

[kayot1k]

very freaky, i can only imagine the time hell get with a decent full exhaust. !
faster than a stock or modded ITR ?
i think so

[destrukshn]

very freaky, i can only imagine the time hell get with a decent full exhaust. !
faster than a stock or modded ITR ?
i think so
a stock type r can do low to mid 14?
lol.

[xtercii]

really? I always thought stock itr does mid to high 14s???

[barefootbonzai]

Very good times :thumbsup:

[barefootbonzai]

really? I always thought stock itr does mid to high 14s???

stock can mean many things. If you fully strip a ITR and leave everything else stock low 14's for sure.

[xtercii]

oh by stock I mean full factory, no stripping and on normal gas...

[notorious_ahmie]

shiet zco! nice job sexy!! why didnt u tell me u were goin down i wouldve come!!!

[destrukshn]

slow... in my eyes...
lol.
but be hatin til i finish my comments. lol.
but very good what it is. a 4 banger 1.6l, actually excellent for what it is.
=)

[DynoDave]

Good job dude just practice those take off's and you will go a little bit quicker,a smart driver will run very good 1/8th mile times with low mph in a under powered FWD car so forget about the top speed just work on that first half of the track and the ET's will improve.
Regards Dyno Dave

[zco]

oh by stock I mean full factory, no stripping and on normal gas...

i have some shitbox tyres that were lying around . 15" at the front/. 14" on the rear. driver seat only. no spare tyre. i adjusted my suspension. and had an intake. other than that, nothing else was done. running on shell optimax98. no nos or octane booster.

standard clutch and flywheel. using all standard OEM HONDA oils & still running both power steering and airconditioning units, still the standard bonnet

[zco]

hahah yeh tony. i beat your time mofo ! lol

my aim yest night was a low 15. i would have sold my car if i ran a 17.XX coz i think thats just shameful.. it was my first time dragging EVER! and i came back with a 18.00 AHHA

with lots of helpful hints from yonas and luzinit, and a willingness to gamble, everything got better and better throughout the night. .cheers guys :thumbsup:

[destrukshn]

who'd you get a 18 again?
lol.
i'm curious
lol.

[NogZ]

congrats zco! mad time, especially for the setup:thumbsup:

[Q_ball]

LOL
Looks like all that hooning has paid off Zco ROFL
jks! ;)

[STOCK]

Awesome Zico! Always good to do a fast time and make no exhaust noise =)

[BlitZ]

congrats.. eheheh you streeet hooning paid off..

I wonder if you time will decrease with mods.. it seems like the std b16a air flows quiet well

I want to go now too... but am afraid i might get 1:17 and then i would want to sell my car too eheheh;)

[Astro]

Congrates Zico...very nice times there.

fix your 60ft times to like 2sec if you can (i know its hard on street tyres) and u will be shizzling...;)

[jdm_kid]

Nice work !
what cars did u run ?
Serzly .. 1st run. 18.045 (DONT ASK LOL !) pls tell HAHA

[elim]

nice times zco, see, what did I tell you ? dump it at 9k !

;)

[zco]

hahaha no thanks elim ! rev limiter is at 8200 rpm

dumping at 6k is what got me the 18.045
first ever run, lgihts move so fast, adrenalin, panic'ing, dumped at 6k rpm, spun like shit, then let revs dropped too mcuh so i double clutched, then clutch was slipping bigtime, so i justlet it roll like 10metres down the road, so shameful, then vtec'd it for the rest of the 385 or so meters in shame

[jdm_kid]

/\ LOL :thumbsup:

[barefootbonzai]

Look at the difference setting up properly did. You ran the same time in an unpowered EK4 as the guy from perth with the B18C in lighter EG shape.

[zco]

^^ yehh. i wanted to set up properly coz i would have been kicking myself if i ran a 15.001 with street trim. removing that excess weight saves lots o time. trying to imagine how mcuh weight i would save if i didnt have sunroof/PS/AC

[destrukshn]

you would of gone slower becuase you don't have the "cool" factor.
lol.

[barefootbonzai]

lol, If i was Johnny Tran - there would be more than enough kool factor for everyone! hahaha

[Paul1985]

lol. i got a feeling i will do the same or something similar the first time i go with my car. fingers crossed i dont!

Nice times in the end. As long as you had a good day :D

[GnJracing]

Awesome times Zco!:thumbsup:

Just goes to show what a little bit of tweaking in the right places can do for an overall ET! Hope you can go even faster next time! Well done!

PS. anyone in Brisbane over the weekend should check out the fast fours Jamboree! I can't wait!

[fatboyz39]

practice practice practice.....

get that 60ft time down lol.... my best 60ft from last night was 2.11...-street legal tyres

[zco]

alot of semi's out there that are street legal. but no point using those semi's as my car doesnt make that much power.

practice is what i will do, just hope i can find some nice g3/t1r tyres to practice with instead of those no name ones i have

one question - why is my mph on the 14.790 run, slower than the one from the 14.954 run. i had a better 60ft tho.. :(

[fatboyz39]

your 60ft time setups your ET....

So better 60ft, better ET, lower speeds.

[phantom_civic]

what tyre pressure did u set urs to at teh front?
and what rpm did u launch it @??

[zco]

what did u run last week john ? 20psi on front. diff rpm launches are used depending how you launch.

did u get a faster time than me ? LOL ! you better have. or that b18monster needs a new owner (me)

[SKREMN]

You did good man
better then my 14.8 thats suposed to be fully worked
my times are very simular to yours but i got top speed of 97.5MPH where you had 91.1MPH

[phantom_civic]

man the best i could do was 15.0.

[roar]

just a question zco...

how much do you weigh lol...less than 20 kg perhaps =)

[phantom_civic]

LOL! good one.

[NeRV]

i think he weighs 50 something if i can remember correctly :P

[Q_ball]

i think he weighs 50 something if i can remember correctly :P
How would u know John? :p

[phantom_civic]

i weigh around there aswell.

[NeRV]

How would u know John? :p

Personal ;) LOL!!!

[1900-hustler]

no wonder u guys post low times.. haha 50kg thats 30kg less than me LOL!

diet = faster 1/4 times !!

oh and gw on the times..

[misteR_bilzz]

lol awsome times for stock wd!

[-MuGen PoWer-]

good stuff, as long as ur time is faster than luzinit than ur cheering.

[joyride]

nice work zco.
how did u manage to squeeze 5 runs in one night? it wasnt busy on that particular night?

[vtecbrad]

Hey man congrats on the awesome time, i went down last night and my best for the night was a 15.086 @ 91mph,
could you tell me what the temp was like?? its on the slip, just curious to know the difference, also was that later on in the night??
hey one last thing when you were launching how hard were you revving it?? just couldnt seem to stop mine from bogging down,
thanks man, and again Congrats on the awesome time, hope to race ya soon.

[zco]

LOL ! this thread is olddd. the temp's are all on the slips
the fast runs were towards the end of the night. i came back the next week and ran 14.8 first run. then car wouldnt handle the next 2 runs so i pulled out for the entire night.
race me ? i dont own this car no more. if you want to race, then just beat my time with another standard EK4 + sussy+ intake :)

or you can race my new EK1 if you want. LOL

[Teggy-Vtir]

ill race ur ek1 with my mountain bike
=P

[Cold Fusion]

any idea of the track temp? where on the slips ive looked at them like 10 times :/

[zco]

woops ! i just realised i chopped it off., anyway. taking pics now. upload soon !

HERE WE ARE !

pics are posted in order 1st run, 2nd , etc.. etc..

thats crazy man. my mate had a modded 5 litre VN commodore which was hell fast,,for example it beat BA xr6 turbos and stuff, which are pretty quick,, and he only ran like 15.1 at 146kph. mind you the air temp for him was 35+ degrees at quit motorplex in perth,, does 15 or so degrees really make that much difference?

I think the XR6 turbo was not trying... :p Or your mate had very little traction from standstill.

[silver_screen]

i 2nd that... xr6t is not to underestimated :)

[zco]

i've seen a few xr6's run high 14's standard

15.1@146kph thats as quik as what my GSi teg was lol.
When it was stock ran 15.5@146kph
got it to 15.1 later on same term speed but..

[vtecbrad]

Damn, my Air Temp at 9:30pm was still up at 23 degrees, and the track Temp was still at 32 degrees, and the rel humidity was 78, i think if it had of been the same as yours 19, 29 & 38, only a little different i may have dipped into the 14's, i wouldnt have cared if it had of been a 14.9999999999 it still would have been a 14 sec 1/4, maybe i need to lose some weight, i am 100kg, bring it down to 80Kg and i am sure it will help, LOL,
anyways nice work man,

[silver_screen]

maybe u need more power ;)

[vtecbrad]

Of course i need more power,
i will have more soon though, who knows, maybe enough for a high 13,

[zco]

you dont need more power. just learn to drive your car. learn about the car first before modding it. see my signature haha

[vtecbrad]

I Know my car very well, i have had it for over 3 years, love it,
ZCO you said you had aftermarket suspension? Tein HA??
that would make a difference in the launch and the whole characteristics of the car, not so much bounce when changing gears, it would make a difference not much but a little, suspension means alot in a cars characteristics,
My car is fully trimmed in Leather, my car would weigh more than a standard civic, not much but some more weight,

[luzinit]

yeh you did pretty well for your car vtecbrad, as I know what your car is like, as I've seen it before when dion owned it. you ran your car with about 70 more kg than zico did, so not bad time!

[vtecbrad]

Ah, so you know Dion hey, good bloke he is, are you the one who got his chrome wheels when he sold it?
Very well looked after car,

[todas**t]

not bad

[[HIREVZ]]

18.0.. pretty good for a honda

[bigjo5]

;1075818']18.0.. pretty good for a honda

whats that suppost to mean.

[todas**t]

means his proud of running 18sec in his car..

[zco]

yeh, im proud of my 18sec run. suprisingly, i learnt the most from that run over my other runs. backed up by a 14.7 on the same night, im still not happy wiht the time

[locote]

How weight was reduced( what did u take out)...
And what difference did it make in times???
Ive never reduced the weight of any of my rides and im so close to 13s NA,
Im tempted to crack a 13 that way lol:)

[grumpy rooster]

From experience take out as much weight as you can. Reducing weight is HEAPS cheaper than doing mods (cause its free) and makes a huge difference. Think about how much your passenger and rear seats weigh for instance. Take out everything you don't need and see what time you run compared to previous outings. You will see your mph increase and your ET fall.

All it takes is a little time.

[BlitZ]

i dont think it takes that much skill for the 1/4 unless you are really into the 12's or somehting... at best your skills will give u a .4 at the 14-16's mark from the very best to the almost worst driver (provided they are the same weight)

[EKNR33]

Blitz: I tend to disagree with you on 1/4 mile doesn't take much skill.

My mate in his Twin Turbo Supra 1996 model 6spd with fmic/exhaust 214rwkw.

First outing at WSID he ran:
14.4 and 14.2 best the whole night! with average of 2.3 60ft

The Second outing last wednesday at wsid he ran:
13.7 with a 2.0 60ft (NO CHANGES AT ALL TO ANYTHING)

So just with practice thats 0.5sec over the qtr mile without any changes just the same driver with some additional skill/practice.

(Keep in mind that Stock Standard Twin turbo supras should run 13.9 or there abouts with a experienced driver)

my 2cents.

its ok not to agree... im talkiin S@#@t anyways haha
damn.. a 2.3 60ft pulls 14.4 in a 214kw supra..

I agree with Blitz to a degree... anyone can get lucky with a one off.

When you run the same 60' time and time again, and they're decent, then you're doing alright IMO. I've always felt that the skill is in the consistancy...

[.::F[L]Y::.]

^^^^^^

i agree

[zco]

LOL john you random. talk about thread revival HAha well i know my times were consistent. 3 runs after one another 14.9/14.7/14.8 wo0o !
