Oh dude!! I just literally laughed out loud instead of just pretending for the forum's sake!!
For those folks who ever want to edit video, Pinnacle Studio is the bee's knees. I used Version 10.5 on this one and it seems a lot more stable than V.9. Good stuff.
Thanks Matt, you couldn't avoid the water pit so I would just spin them after it to dry them out. At least I got that part right! Let me know when the chickens come back to roost.

After seeing those numbers, I have a strange feeling you're losing power somewhere. I'de say get a dyno to see where you at

Great video Foos, But man you really do need to spend a few days at the track. LOL. for one thing your not even launching. you need to keep the r's around 3k-3500 minimum to get your momentum going. then let go and feather the pedal if you have to to get traction. but you always want to keep your r's above 3500. that is where this motor actually makes some power.
the way you are launching, your making the car bog at the light causing you to lose precious time. your 95mph runs are good for low 14's if you can drive it there.

Re: Boosting 9 psi at the Track - Vid on Pg. 76!! - The Speedfoos' Turbo Install Thre
Oh I know I have plenty of practicin' to do, but the best part is I get to do it my boosted Civic! Nothing better than having to practice on a car I love driving!
I'll be spending a fair amount of time at the track, don't worry about that. That bug bit me hard and I don't think I'll be able to get enough. They do a RWYB every weekend this month, it's going to be hard not to go. I just might do it, it's only like $30 for all day runs.
Thanks Supermex, I love making videos like this, and I just watched it again! I've been away from it for a bit, but will definitely be doing more as I get more footage.
It's not the car that's holding back MrX, it's the driver!
Although, when I fixed my exhaust leak tonight, I did notice the catalyst element is really fubar'd. I just need to get off my duff to order some mandrel bends and flanges to make my 3" setup. I'll do that tomorrow. But, I am able to run a good bead around an exhaust pipe in about 2 minutes flat now with no leaks! Yay I can finally MIG weld!
Yeah HonCiv, I was the only D17 there! There was one kid who had a D17 at home and as soon as I popped my hood he was like, "Bullocks, mate! That's looks fab!" Gotta love the bling.
No twin turbos Jza, or any other project of mine. We will be playing with my buddy's Golf he picked up $200. Paint job, exhaust, and so on. Basically whatever we can scrape up for cheap!
Glad everyone likes the video and everything else I've been doing. I'll say it again, this forum and the people on it have been a major source of motivation and advice!

they always do it on the military airbase nearby,
so its not permanent i guess.
to bad we coulnd do a drag would been funny , your second time was
good though but if you do it more you can like feel wen te light is hitting te
green if ya know what i mean.its like you already start before its green but
so tight that its just green that wil make reaction faster and end time as well
Well for a stocker think I ran a nice time.What I do is holding it to like 3500-4000 rpm before take off, let clutch go out all the way and almost floring it
so tire slip some more around 5500 for my so it get pulled forward , at a point
you will got speed so the rpm want to drop from 5500 right before you floor it.
hope you can understand i a little.
but my reaction time van 2.47 and 1/4m 15.69 works for me
have fun
