Looks like good times for a 108hp engine with a auto tranny.

I wanted to break 18 sec, but I couldnt since I decided to leave after the 18.027 run. I did trap 77mph on one run, but I redlight so that doesn't really count.

When you say fully stock you mean fully stock right? If so take a little air from the tires, better contact patch. Also take out the spare tire, jack & all the stuff in the back. Also take out anthing you have in the car you dont need. Taking out the extra weight just might get you into the high 17's

everything is stock just that I got an oil change this time (the last time i raced, i had 4500 mile old oil). I didn't even check the tire pressure for both times I went up there and I didn't remove anything from the car. I had my backpack, sweather, fluke multi-meter, tools, and other stuff inside the car. I don't know if lowering my car will improved my times, but I just wanted to run this car bone stock :D

:lol: I guess I could see that. Its not fully stock with all that extra weight you have added. For each ~22Lbs you can take off the car, its like getting 1hp. So by taking out the spare tire & stuff like that, you should save around 40Lbs right there. Just tell your self your running JDM stock because the ist does not have those things :wink:

I'm a weight reduction whore ( my rx-7 was gutted,lol), but I didn't bother with the scion as its a cruise/commuter car. I just wanted to see what this bad boy got and I'm happy that I ran .2 sec better than last time. BTW, I think its like every 10lb you lose, you gain .01 at the track :lol: . I had to remove my hubcaps so they can check my lugnuts so I threw them in my trunk, so more weight :roll:

:lol: I see. I guess it is nice to know what it can run. Also no extra weight from tha caps, you just moved where the weight was.

Nice times, the automatic is about 1 sec slower than manual. Once my tranny get fixed, I'm prepping for auto-x next spring...

anyone tried racing an xB? I'd figure the xA would win because its lighter.

depends on whether or not one of em is a 5spd. . . 5spd's are a helluva lot quicker. . . auto vs auto, the xA would probably win by a hair.
