Out last night for first time with this car...

Not real happy... but a track is a tricky prospect for any green blat jockey like me! Could do a 0-150km/h run 20 times in row without missing a gear on the street, but with helmet on, heater on, windows up, 11 second chevy in next lane, two incorrectly pressured tyres and a very sticky track, I had 1 clean run out of 4 and it was a careful one just to make sure I didn't mess it up with my last run of the night...!

Quoting 60 ft... ET..... MPH

Run 1 - 2.51 15.459 91.61 (Axel tramp then bog then clutch it and go)
Run 2 - 2.58 15.451 83.71 (Too much wheelspin - missed 4th - coast)
Run 3 - 2.32 15.534 90.33 (good start - missed 2nd twice)
Run 4 - 2.39 15.260 91.28 (Careful start - slow changes - clean run!)

Next time - lighter rims (14's not 16's!), less fuel (3/4 full!), 30 psi (had 22 in one and 28 in the other - not at dodgy servo one outside track next time)

Saw an EG B18C - owner japanese, didn't want to chat 0EG06 plate... having real trouble with shifts and grip also... low 14's at best I think.

Guy in Accord Euro with new Hondata and more revs doing 15.3's...

Guy in RX7 doing 9.02!

Mate's Volvo with RB30 did 13.54!!!

Millions of V8 holdens with cams and stuff and fords sixes with turbos!!!

A fun night but harder than I had remembered

Umm yeh of course its not stock. Do you expect a stock motor to do low 13's? Your dreaming mate!! Even K20's can do low 13's without the need of the bolt-ons and K-pro.

what colour is it?

[Sexc86]

i believe he is talking about the blue 0EG60... see it getting around at ivans workshop


good effort though IIJJEE... with 1/4 really its practise makes perfect.

I remember my first runs i was crapping my pants with nerves doing high 15s, and now im down to low/mid 14s @ 100MPH with unchanged setup. Getting the "hang" of it really improves your times

HAHA exactly the same as me
Ive taken my EG sedan with B18c with few bolt on goodies down to race once...
I had all those problems too + a petrol tank full to the brim and 2x12 subs in the boot...fcuked everyone of my launches and best i could do is a 15.2 @97mph

Yeah that's the no. plate... He wasn't in the mood for some idle chitchat! I was just sifting thru the HSV/CAPA/Falcodore crowd looking for some NA or Honda brightness!!!

Yeah it's blue with lots of genuine Mugen carbon fibre stuff, full cage, stripped rear interior brides (from memory) and looks the biz...

He said, b4 his first run, that he had previously run a 13.8 but after some changes was hoping to run a 12... Saw him racing around in the carpark just after they announced the lanes were about to close practicing his 1/2 shift and racing up and down ... You could see the steam coming out of his ears almost!

I don't know if anyone else with NA stockish cars has ever felt this way but it's like, in the back of my mind, I'm absolutely terrified of having those revs drop below 5500... I think it should be called VTEC Separation Anxiety Syndrome, or V-SAS!

Anyway, I will probable take the Tiptronic RWD Stagea down the strip next time. Press throttle to the floor, wait for boost and hold on... Should be less brain wearying... will see if the RSM lies!

Totally agree. Just as an example , a eg with a b18c7 which is "stock" (IE no engine modifications) should be hitting high 13's. No way a b16 in the same car is hitting low 13's

But to keep this thread on topic....

YES it is possible low 13 second 1/4 mile , with the right combo of modifications / tuning / tyres / weight reduction and DRIVER

[Sexc86]

Also i think 30psi in the tyres is just too hard... it will just spin too easy... you want more flex in the side wall... more spungy... IMO 20psi (depending on rim size) would be the go
