My black egg did a 13.78 @100mph (ish) in the previous owner's hands - not sure what tyres. That was at WSID. I have since been to W'bank twice and cut 14.02 on slow 2.3 60ft and worn tyres. Suspension would bring it down to a mid to high 13 no worries as traction off the line is more about limiting axle-tramp than outright grip levels. As you can see from my sig, I did a 1min 14 sec lap at WP on my first (and only so far) trip on a 33 degree steamer. We could only really go out, do a slow warm-up lap and then try to put in one fast on. Full street tyres too. Car prob has a 1:10 or 1:11 in it on a cool day with semi's - if I can get my lines right for a whole lap!!! My car is a vti, too so up to 100kg heavier than other eg civics at 1040kg without me!

My EG ran same time/s (13.7) but at a touch higher MPH (103) - it is a vti too with sunroof. But i have removed PS + AC and sound deadening - full interior otherwise tho. I weighed in at 980kg without driver , 1/3 tank of fuel. Surely you can drop that weight down ! The sunroof isnt as heavy as you think - i would imagine 15kg or so difference between this and a Si or gli for example
Interesting! I do know that a Breeze EG weighed 935kg (ish), but the old 1.3 would be lighter than a B series. I'd love to drop 60kg out of the car! I'm off to a hillclimb next w/e in Grafton, NSW... Not sure where the big diff is from breeze to vti but it's 100kg! Must be mostly drivetrain related but still, with a B18CR engine it's hard to negate that! I'm not going to chase it too hard as I still have two little tackers who come with Dad a couple of times a week in their bumper seats. Carpet? Rear Seat? Lower hatch? I'd love to drop that 5% in weight! Would like to then be able to put the pieces back together in less than an hour or two! I could take the doors off!!!
EG on slicks would need traction bars or professionally configured coilover sussie to get power to ground from the start. I have tried M/T street slicks which made my car slower, harder off the mark and put more pressure on shafts, clutch etc. Only do it if you have $$$ and love no's!
best of luck mate sounds like a good project to continue with
My only advice is what ive seen ( never used slicks on the track ) - is burnout to warm up and launch hard with slicks. You might break something but you will def. break 60ft times and 1/4 mile times !
EG B18C quarter mile times
