Mods were I/H/E

[ek4-guy]

what did the others get

[Micko]

not sure down to specifics, sorry

[egSi]

nice mick. well have to organise the other work noted plus more notice would probably help LOL ;)

oh dag was it ****ing hot :eek:

[DLO01]

Well done man. :thumbsup:

[Boban]

I popped my track cherry last night
Did best of 17.907
Ran it with full interior, sound system and 17" rims (with pretty bad tyres)

I kinda made the decision to race it right at the gate, i was gonna go just to spectate but thought why not....i had fun and that's what counts.

For the next run i'll deffinately strip the whole car and run it on some smaller rims and better tyres.

For those who don't know my car: EH9, D16Y1 with whale penis enlargement (thanx to trav) and a cat back zorst. Can't wait for the next one

[JohnnyVtec]

Running what ya brung! I'll try to make it the next time. Did deano go with you lot?

[DLO01]

[turtleEK1]

good work to boban for running his car too!! hell yeah to d16's!!!

i ran and got pb of 16.699@83.64mph in my stripped EK1 sedan with i/h/e!

[egSi]

You've been talking about doin drag racing few years back.
Take your EG down the 1/4 mile trav

[Micko]

rofl snap.

yeah i had loads of fun, i just need to get my 60ft down for a better et, and i think that involes me having to drive my car properly lol!

good work to all the guys that were out there! also thanks to boban for directing me home ahaha. was an excellent night!

i will be out there again very soon if anyone else is keen to go?

[Chris_F]

hehe I had heaps of fun tho it was harder than i thought - ran full interior and 36psi up front (running as the car would be on the street) and kept forgetting to turn traction control off which stuffed a couple of my runs. my best time with it off for the night was:

60ft 2.415
330ft 6.751
660ft 10.290
m.p.h 68.87
k.p.h 110.84
1000ft 13.326
E.T. 15.855
M.p.h 88.37
k.p.h 142.22
over/under 15.855
Air 30deg Track 36deg 58%H

was a very balmy night and i still have 0 skills - hoping for low fifteens next time lol

[JasonGilholme]

I'm pissed i didn't get there hey.

But the arvo wasn't a total waste. i got some stuff done.

Count me in for next time boys.

[zel05]

I had heaps of fun hanging out with you guys and watching everyone have a great time...Unfortunately for me, i suck...or my car does...either way...very disapointed in how i ran.

EG hatch with b18cr
stripped interior everything behind front seats GOOOONE
Mugen headers and intake

and the excuses:
17's...(shitty tyres)
shitty tune (In my opinion - ie. best trap of 94mph:thumbdwn: )
and gheybo bodykit!!:p

Best time was an agonising 15.010 @ 90 or 92 mph (can't remember) with a 2.2 60ft.

On the way home i thought to myself...why was i dumping the clutch. I was telling Dave minutes before my run...ease out on the clutch and you'll be sweet...Don't know if he took my advice but i sure as hell should have...lol

[JasonGilholme]

Its just the pressure man.

you just need to concentrate on your run and listen to your car.

[zel05]

Its just the pressure man.

you just need to concentrate on your run and listen to your car.

yeah but the thing is...i wasn't all that nervous...i have been to the track quite a few times...Every run (about 6 in total) was driven the same way...maybe launching slightly differently...ie 3k...3.5k...4k

Also...hard to listen to your car when the helmet muffles everything :p :p :p But i agree...i think i need to learn my car a bit better...

Finally found my fuel cut off...8700...tried to hold on gear a couple times...hit cutoff only slightly, but killed my run! 3rd to 4th was a real bummer! drops revs too much going into 4th...and yes...4th!!! :(

[JasonGilholme]

Damn man, sounds like the car's got potential.

A few more runs and you'll settle in. :thumbsup:

hahaha i know how you feel, i was told to run out 3rd but when i did i hit limiter rofl :( i wouldnt stress about too much, im just gonna have to go back out and get a better time... plus work on my driving skills :thumbsup:
you keen to hit it up again? i sure am :D

[egSi]

when its cooler we should head back out, and when my car is fixed lol :p

[zel05]

I am keen to go back out when i have a few of my issues sorted out...

Having said that...i will most likely come back out sooner then that as i really wanted to get atleast a 14!!

Let the weather cool down a bit me thinks...Saturday was the worst day of the weekend.

[Micko]

haha yeah, once its winter out comes my AC LOL!

[Chris_F]

Yea i was having the same problem had to shift into 4th just at the line a real pain in the but. On a good day with some improved driving i think we should both be capable of low 15's

i couldnt believe how balmy/humid it was i was dripping with sweat even at 9pm!

[EG5[KRT]]

fark looks like u guys had an awesome day !! props to boban for showing the speed of the D :D and congrats to dave !!! awesome time..

[Eclipsor]

I'll be out there as soon as I get a few things fixed. ie the wheels stop looking/feeling like they're about to fall off.

Was a good night despite the heat. I loved watching Chris' euro. And the ea k20.

First time for quite a few people + the heat at least means that things should only get better from here on out.

[Micko]

yeah exactly with ya on that one eclipsor!
and i know chris can get alot better time ( i know you have it in ya boy! ), i know i can improve thats for sure, i just spent all of today ripping out my interrior for the next day rofl... i must be getting greedy lol..

but yeah for a first time it was alot of fun and i enjoyed hanging with the guys of undergroundimports, esp trav the funny bitch :D

now for the dyno day yew!

[JasonGilholme]

was chris drivin with the AC on??? Still tryin to mend his sunburn i bet lol

I can't talk tho, i didn't even go. I went to all the trouble to borrown darryls helmet and didn't even use it.

I'll bring it to the dyno day!!!! :D:D:D:D:D :p

I'll be there next time boys. Semi stripped. Do you reckon they'd let me run with the roof off??? Less weight thats for sure.

[Chris_F]

FARK!!!!! Underground Import cars are LEEeeeEEeEeT!!!! High 15 sec cars all round :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

You guys are AMAZING! Keep up the good work. I now can see y your cars are so AWSOME!

Think its time to sell the b18 and get yourself a D series you'd get the same times mate, dont blame ur tyres or ur kit blame urself!..D SERIES FTW

[zel05]

i like milk

[fishman]

i think it's more the Underground Import influence. They build world class cars like no other. Stop hating froggy.

[civ_sik]

pretty sure his rb25det is running in the 12's y000 seriously ;) unlike you!

[zel05]

alright youve made your point...can you leave it now.

kthnxbai

[froggy]

Ok sorry i think i've made my point, now its just whether you guys get the message or not....thats upto you guys to decide.....

[Chris_F]

If you'd like to communicate in a mature way please respond to my PM... otherwise i really don't have time for these immature games.

[STI_WRX]

what was your pm? i know the one, seemed like it had no real need for a response just someone gettin a little upset

[Chris_F]

this is my pm


what's the message you're trying to get across...

being serious here

please let me know

If any of you want to communicate in a mature way about your problems feel free to pm me. Otherwise I can't help you.

[fishman]

I don't think any of them guys need your help. Not unless they are wanting there cars to run 2 or 3 sec's slower down the 1/4 or something. I know you guys can help there.

it's ok to be a little hurt, we all get hurt sometimes, it's ok :thumbsup:

[Chris_F]

No worries, I tried.

[zel05]

On a serious note however...How much does the RA (Relative Altitude) play when it comes to drag racing. The guys keep mentioning the fact that it was a super balmy night...The RA when we first got there was around 3000...those times during the end of the night were in the 2600 region...

Just a point im interested in analysing...

[globevtec51]

E.T. 15.855


hey thats almost as fast as you go, when you're having sex with trav:zip: :eek:

[zco]

i notice ppl that post times keep saying "shittylaunch" shitty tyres.. full interior. this and that. but i honestly, i dont take as mcuh attention to these things as i think i dont care about these... hmm. excuses? (if thats the word)

dont know if i speak for anyone else, but IMO, when i read threads like this, i just really care about your ET's, so i suggest, next time you go, strip the car hard out and try your best, lower your pressure. run low fuel. adjust the height.. and bring back some hektik times !!

just my 2cents. ;) .. but then again, i guess some ppl just run their cars to see what it can do on the street..

street trim is for the street. and as for the track, use ..track trim ? LOL !! =P

[yfin]

Air 30deg Track 36deg - you can't say that is an excuse Zco. Far from ideal conditions for drag racing.

To froggy and friends - take your s13 or whatever you drive and post up your commentary on other forums. We don't want your sort of comments here. Lack of encouragement only leads to people not posting experiences on the track/strip (unless they are running a super fast stripped out 1000kg Honda with a K20A).

This section is about track/drag racing. No where do we limit these experiences to sub 14 second 1/4 mile runs. :thumbdwn:

[kraiye]

^^
well said!
if u gonna be a hater or dont wanna be a constructive part of the OH community, **** off somewhere else!

i say good on u guys for givin it a go, gotta start somewhere.
d series represent y00!
i'd be lucky to hit 15's with my sh!tbox

[Micko]

its all good, it was my first go on the drag track so i know i'm only going to get a faster time learning to drive my car properly.
but we dont need people to make fun of some of our first timer times...
thanks kraiye :thumbsup:

[JasonGilholme]

Yeah i agree.

I don't see any of the haters out there givin it a go. I wonder how fast your keyboard does down the quarter?

Anyway, good work to the people that went out there. i'll be joinin ya next time.

Props to UI for organisin the troops together.

Jase

[SiReal]

No do you ever see us Honda boys joining lancer forums/rexxy forums and dishing out sh1t to them and their cars.

gawd there are some blardy immature ppl out there.

[STI_WRX]

Yeah i agree.

know whats funny about that is you dont know who we are...
if you did you might have some idea, but you dont...

first impressions last my young friend. you havent made a good first impression.

my old d16a8 EG hatch back in like 2 years ago ran 15.1@90mph , 2.0 sec 60ft ( mods :i/h/e/clutch).Track temperature was nearly 50'C. IMO for Allmotor , track temperature doesnt affect 1 sec or something.
I also ran 12.3@109mph on a super hot weather back in compak attak 2005.
The key is to learn , practice and get the car set up properly.

And thats what we're trying to do.

It was the first run for allot of people, i haven't even been able to do my first run yet.

Real great support from fellow members here. Makes Ozhonda look like the scum of clubs.

[zel05]

Im certainly not happy with my 15.01...infact im fuggin furious with the time...it's pathetic...

It was the first time i have been to the track with this particular car...and having only owned it a few months, am still getting use to it...

Being a knobshine and dissing these guys for having a go is completely uncalled for. Improvements can be made, and driving techniques can definately be improved on. Instead of being quiet and waiting until some decent times are run, we chose to talk about our experience now.

You really need to lay off all the name calling and general negative comments. Everyone has to learn in one way or another...I'm not using it as an excuse for my poor times, but the weather i feel did play a slight role in what times were achieved...whether it was .2 of a second or nothing...

Atleast the next time we go out there, our times might have improved and we can compare what happened.

i aint hella proud of that time, but i did give it a go.

track temps + slips are here - very similar to the day you guys ran. 34degrees, then dropped to 29 later that night
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1030642&postcount=69

so when is the next time you guys are going ? you guys might wanna choose a day where the weather is nice and cool so you can run better times.

[JasonGilholme]

Fishman: Where in this thread did we say anything like that?? you came in here and started saying shit for no reason.

There was a few posts saying our times and what we thought about the night and we're giving each other pointers and then you come in and start saying "Underground imports is leeeeet!". I could picture a bogan hangin out the side of a commodore sayin that.

Anyway, your initial comments weren't called for so keep it constructive or keep it shut. Simple.

We're just a bunch of friends gettin out there and havin a go. Whats wrong with that?

I can't speak for old carby d16 motors but I know for sure the K24 in the Euro runs much slower in the heat. It is depressing sometimes how much slower it is and that is with the air con off.

[STI_WRX]

sorry who mentioned carbies?

[yfin]

sorry who mentioned carbies?

no one - I have a d series in my civic that is carby - the d16 could well be EFI. That wasn't my point. My point was about the K24.

not excuses, just giving some background for those that are interested, for those that aren't like yourself you can just look at the ET and forget the rest.

My first time out I wanted to see how the car went as it is on the street, that way in the future i can see what taking some interior out and dropping the pressures improves times by if at all.

at the end of the day it was just for a bit of fun (for me anyway) so I'll use whatever trim i want LOL !!1

I have had at least 10 complaints regarding this thread from various people. Apologies to the thread creator but I am going to close it.

All the children on school holidays can't help themselves from spamming or bagging other people.

Your post was deleted Fishman because you can't stop putting other people down. Or didn't you read the PM? Go join some other forum and not Ozhonda if that is an indication as to how you are going to behave.
