Yes, Its true, the McChook Mobile hits the track again. This time, WSID
I would like to say, I did a bunch of 15s, best a 15.704 @ 90mph - slow, yes, but still had full stereo (amps, subs), tubby driver, CDs in console, spare tyre - etc
I hope this shows you all it doesn;t matter what you run or how fast it is - its how much you learn and how much fun you have. Coz that's what motorsport is all about

slow :thumbdwn:
EDIT: ok that was mean :p
Tip for next time - take out the audio and spare tire!
...still a sweet car :thumbsup:
Yeah, well, weighed around 1550kg with me in car......
BTW it was 27 degrees for that run, was stinking hot, and had only street rubber - and at 300 bucks a tyre, I wasn;t gonna get too adventurous
Not to mention first EVER drag event.... I barely ever launch hard on the street, let alone on the track - I'm a circuit person, not a drag person
Drag isn't as easy as it looks hey Matty?
I was going to come out and watch, but had to fix the oil cooler in the rotor!
nice effort at 27! woulda been a a boiler in the car
u suck :P
hahaha
matty when u going next ?
i might come too
I thought a modded h22a of this sort would be rocking at least the very low 15's?
Looks like it puts this thread http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...0&page=1&pp=12 into high contention once again, seeing that bluebird (as an example) recently ran a lower 15 sec pass in his stock dc2?
Interesting...
ewwwwWWW..............got me by that much..........
15.757..........the diff would have been a bee's d1ck with my car...........but a bee's d1ck is long enough.
your words r so true mcchook :thumbsup: nice man.
i ran 1.1 sec faster compared to your ET when i race badhbt dc2 integra ( full trim with amps , spare tyres , seat , etc )
so i guess the potential is there for you.
yeah, but a DC2 is much lighter to start with Jonas..... like 200kgs.... not to mention a better engine - remember, its virtually stock
I'm gonna try and go back in two weeks.
I was just too hot. I HATE saying * i should have*, i hate excuses, but I see no reason why it wouldn't do a 14.9 in 17degrees if I remove the stereo, spare, etc and stiffen the konis - remeber, still has stock springs. On decent rubber, (likely A032Rs) it should only be faster again
As for Tommo, yes, he did a faster time - on smaller wheels, lighter car, (sure, less power) and has dragged before.... I'm a n00b - oh and it WAS ****ING HOT....
best of luck........theres nothing left in my car.
well, there are a few reasons,Quote:

but the most important telling factor is the 60ft time:!:
if over 2.4's you will drop down to low 15's if you can pull 2.2's or under :D
your MPH indicates you should be pulling lower 15's, but i think it is all about practice and learning how to get the car moving off the line...
Congrats on the time - good on ya for getting out and having a go :)
I don't think you can compare street performance times to track performance anyway, as it's harder for any driver to adjust to the track conditions, compared to normal road conditions. Oh, and you can't say about my cars weight / power etc etc, esp if you compare stock Teg vs Prelude times... and when I ran, I was defintely stock.
Defintely get the 60ft'rs better (thats where your car should be faster than mine), and you'll get a low 15 :). I am suprised your MPH times weren't higher, does your CAI get plenty of air?
Ummm.....Quote:

CAI - well, it only has a stock Honda intake - Prelude Type S one, but still has full resonator etc - and black box under black bonnet = shizzle. I'd go for a better intake, but I don't believe CAIs work.... maybe I should try them - I difinitely wasn;t getting anything out of stock airbox last night....
My 60' times were slow due to no slipping of clutch and nothing brave on the front tyres. I have no doubt that it would do a 14.9 with no more performance mods except tyres.... That should bring the 60' times way down
And I'll be going back in 2 weeks to try and do just that.. Unless its a hot one, I'll sit it out til I can try for a sub 20degree run. Next time I WILL be removing stuff, winding up the rear shocks and I may even slip the clutch this time....
you can borrow my slicks if you think you can get 14.9's man........Quote:

The key is definitely in the 60' time... Just gotta get that down and go from there
However, this has seen a new found determination from me to ensure I run a 14.9, just to prove it can....
he he he, musta been bad if you not telling us what your 60's were, lol!
PS - where are the pics of my DC2 sussy stuff man!
and for the 'heat soak' thing, yes the theory is that less dense air is bad, but in reality does it have a real impact?
at WSID i was running in 35 degree heat in the day and 17 degree heat at night, my times were within a few hundreths of each other, and MPH was same to 1 MPH (but i am a pretty consistent driver...)
where as the boosted drivers were lowering their times by 10ths of seconds, not 100ths...
so this shows that for NA, heat is not a factor.
and if you think that you were "heat-soaked", then you need to rev the engine a bit more before your run, to get the air circulating through your IM to cool it down... i found that the burnout sequence was enough for this.
also leaving your engine off as much as possible helps too...
heat doesnt affect me at all
on feb 2003 drag combat i ran 15.1 ( 30'c plus on that day)
2 weeks ago i ran four runs of 15.1 and four runs of 2.1 60ft ( 18'c ish on that night wsid)
i got more mods than feb 2003 but i cant hit 14's :(
* reaction time got nothing to do with your ET*
onya matty! good ony a for givin it a go aye:thumbsup: . cant wait till i get out there too and give it a go.. who knows i might run a 15 too hahahaha all in good time mate experience will show through :D
-elee
represent mate... and keep up the good work!
:)
if you go again in 2 weeks let me know........i wouldnt mind running again.....Quote:

wonder if i could chop off 0.2 if i change tyres from 195's slicks (track set) to stock 175's just for the rears for less weight.........hmmm.
i wanna run my 100% stock DC2 VTiR and see what she pulls?
McChook, any chance of getting that air filter off you before then?
fark man i dunno how u do it yonas.......hehehhe.......Quote:

i need to inspire myself to get the K20A into the teg, i think a few slow passes might just do this...
i am easy on date, after Aus day could work :)
Date should be good for me - just have to tell work and leave early....
sweet lock it in.
Can someone lend me a helmet.... :)
LOL@tinker, you'll still be a shitload faster than the b18b....
I have my old Kart helmet, but its way small...Quote:

Yeah I know... was talking to a few ppl recently and most have suggested to invest in a good helmet. Only prob is that I'll probably drag twice (if that) in the foreseeably next 12 months, and track a similar number of times too. Now while on one hand an investment of $200ish is really nothing to protect your head over the course of a few days driving, it still hurts the wallet when you've got another saving commitments.... :(Quote:

i've got an S size one spare..........
i spent $650 on mine and i think i've only used it twice............hahhaha
LOL... i dun think it'll fit bro. My head's farking massive! ;)
But I never thought you were a S either, so maybe there's a chance... you never know, I just got a haircut! :)
no im a L-arge...........hehhehe..........its just a spare that I have thats S.
i spent $650 on mine and i think i've only used it twice............hahhaha[/QUOTE]
MAn y spend all that money on a helment unless u plan on crashing the shiet outta ur car. Imean dont get me wrong or nutthing its ur money u do what u want with it when I get a helmet Im just goin for the cheapest helmet thats approved
for those saying its slow, at least he's giving it a go and not trying to be a traffic light warrior then bragging with bullshit stories of how he raped an evo8 or something
good work, keep it up
Cheers Cobba :thumbsup:Quote:

when i get my car on the road i plan for some n00b 1/4 mile action myself, i'll post the results lol
I hope the "first steps" don't mean on a treadmill....LOL That is taking weight reduction a little too far!! :DQuote:

yeh good luck
Well, actually mate, a few steps on the treadmill might hurt - there's a keg I could remove without touching the carQuote:
