Best run listed 1st
vs. EP3 civicSI ( 15.8 @ 88.47)

R/T ... .670 (worst ever... .000 is perfect)

So, who's got the fastest stock tC ? Just curious to see how this stacks up.[/b]

senseiturtle

Anyone?

I'm sure at least someone has run faster stock... or as close to stock as possible. I don't want to be pretentious and think i'm the fastest pretty-much stock tC out there.

I wish the tracks stayed open in the winter here in the Northeast.

I'd love to see how the TC does with supercooled air (it was 5 below freezing this morning on my way to work - that's intake air temp, not outside air temp)

When I was stock, I ran a 16.3 at Palmdale, but if you know Palmdale(LACR) its known for its high elevation which will really kill your 1/4 times.

Experience.

I used to sit at the track, with my father running his 1st-gen RX7. I can't remember what he'd run, but I just would know from the takeoff whether or not we'd ride home _____ing.

When I was 17, I "inherited" my mom's toyota avalon. 200hp TANK. After a little tweaking, I went from 16.1 to 15.8, and that was a big achievement for me. I then went into a "looks" phase, and bought an eclipse RS when my avalon was rear-ended. Mistake.

When that car pooped out in the DSM fashion, I got a Jetta VR6. Here's where I got most of the track experience.. went from dumping the clutch to slipping the clutch, constant-throttle runs, bracket racing, etc... Beat the hell out of that car. Then, it hydrolocked from a CAI. 8 weeks without a car, I get a new engine and start over, and discovered that driving > any mods, and CAI's suck... but that's another story.

Now that I've bored you with my history of racing... The moral is practice, practice, practice. Practice with different cars (I swear I could drag 100x better after learning to launch a WRX.)... and just make a lot of trips to the track and far-away roads. Ask people for advice. Waste a few runs trying different things. Learn to love the tree, and it will love you.

secret to better times....drop the psi on your front tires!!!

I went from 16.01 @ 32psi all around to 15.5 @ 20 psi on the front and 40 psi on the rear.....

aarontrini85

i ran my 15.2 with a short shifter and a home made cai with nothing removed except the axle back portion of my exhaust (this was before i had my new exhaust) and droped tire pressure



good times im sure you can squeez a little more out if you launch a little better but well with a 60' time like that that is no where near a bad launch infact its great lol i just know if you drop the tire pressure a little more or drop the ____y stock tires you can dip a little deeper

add your time here im tyring to get this made in to a stiky so we dont get like 30 posts asking about the tc's 1/4 mile times every week

For this run, I ran stock tire pressure.


I'll lower it next time... but next time, I'll have H/s-pipe/E, and maybe more.

This car WILL see 14's.

Kenshin

I was tempted to do this at Moroso but I forgot what PSI was good in the front. Ran a 16.09. I cant get a 15! Lower pressure with a better lauch sounds good.

aarontrini85

when i ran i have bigger softer tirs then stock 225/45/17's but i droped the tire pressure down to 14psi and they have real soft sidwalls so they flexed good and in the back i ran 45 psi i think it was .... it was a while ago but it should help limit the transfer of weight back a little not mutch but a little


try that next time

if your running stock tires it wont realy work to well since there stiff as hell

toyotaracer9

hey senseiturtle where did u run ? No Problem raceway? and what is a SRI ?

senseiturtle

Yup

It's a long way from BR, but I like it better than SCD.

Wednesday night test/tune rocks.. there's never anyone out there. $10, and run until your car breaks or run out of gas.
