1st run was a 13.3 @107mph with a 2.3 60' footer (shit) crunched 4th :(
2nd run i got a 14.0 (lmao)at 106mph coz i couldnt get it in 3rd gear after crunching 3rd 3 times :( this time with a 2.2 60' footer
3rd run ended up with a 13.4 @ a massive 111mph but my 60' was a 2.380 (very shit) even with the semi slicks it wheel spun first and all of 2nd gear.
i know this car can get into the 12s with better launch very easy
i had a good nite and seen some other ozhonda boys out there aswell.
sounds good omar !
try not launching? just drive off?
so instead of wheel spinning 1st & 2nd, you start off 1st abit slower than if you were launching than gain momentum and 2nd might pull harder due to the fact you have grip from mometum from 1st gear ?
i duno just suggesting :p :p :p
good stuff either way ! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
great time!
yeh wat pascoe said, or try not goin full throttle for the 1st 2 gears :)
congrats bro!
what power you making at the wheels omar.
id suspect his in tth 200+Wkw in an EG u shud be doin low 12's i rechon man lanch is huge, paractice ur car wud be an animal
208 atw afaik.
Unless it has since been retuned.
Hey buddy saw you run wheel spin all the way down track!!! =)
Also saw 3 dc2s.. maroon one 14sec, white one 13.7sec and silver one 15sec, s2000 12secs.. these guys are too hektic!
BLOWN GEAR BOX NOW wont be out for a while :(
nice work. i heard u were launching in 2nd though.. bad idea dude.
I was thinking 2.3 second 60ft time wasn't THAT bad but then I read with semi slicks?
I guess just practice. Already quite impressive
Best of luck
yeah i was practicing my launches ,well first launch i blew something most probably clutch coz the gearbox has a crack on the bellhousingQuote:

i never got to test the semi's at the strip, but i managed consistant 2.1's using goodyear eagle f1's at 20psi. I doubt that the semi's would have matched them.
i think again it depends on how much power , driving style etc factor on this 60ft time.Quote:

i used my 17" yokohamas on 36psi..
managed to run a 13.5 with a 2.2 60" @ 104mph
nice timeslip
i used 17inch continental semi slicks on 30psi
pulled 13.180 with 2.565 60" @118.29
