So i took my K20 to the track

k20txem2 · 08-13-2005

Last night was the first time i took my car to the track in 2 months!i was like a little boy in a candy store. So many cars to race soooo little time. i got about 18 runs in, but the best i could hit was a 14.9@93.82.

Its like every time i went to take off i had NOOOO traction all the way threw 3rd gear.

So i need some tires, any suggestions there? Also my intake sits right on my upper radator hose

so im pumping HOT *not warm or cool* air in to my car. Any ideas on how to render that? Well anyways just thought i woudl share my experince, nothing special.

jesus you should be a low 14 secound car...
get an LSD if yourself cant manage traction issues

S2000man01 · 08-13-2005

he's more of a mid to high 14 second car at best.

S2000man01 · 08-13-2005

he has a 6 speed with an LSD already

What was 60'?
With 93-94, you should be around mid 14 or lower.

I ran 14.7 consistantly , which was only at 92mph.

Keep practicing on launching

I know how to drive, But with flat spots all over my bald ass tires its kind of hard to get a decent 60 ft time 2.7. 2.9 3.1 when your tires just spin and you dont have the key to rotate or change you tired out. I know how to drive in a straight line. (just forgot to mention that part about my tired.)

fixeruper · 08-14-2005

ekkk, dont drive on tires that bald

Redline04 · 08-14-2005

3.1

That has gotta be the record for the worst 60ft ever.

Get some new tires and try again. Low 14s shouldn't be a prob with good traction.

No they arent. Not with that trap speed. @ 93MPH he should be pulling down mid-high 4 second times with proper launches and traction. You need to get a handle on how ETs and trap speeds corelate.

BTW, I would have thought all the effort of a K20 swap would net you some better times then that. Lets see a full mods list.

I mean you are pulling the same times that stock RSX-S should be doing. And you dont weigh nearly as much as one.

S2000man01 · 08-14-2005

it's only about 200-300 pounds lighter isn't it? someone help me out here. ex weight vs type S weight. i'm too lazy to look.

i would think just the swap would put the civic into mid 14's at best. ?? and yes, a 93mph trap is really about a 15 flat or high 14 at best.

scansel912 · 08-14-2005

Im sure his trap speed will go up be a few mph though once he learns to launch better and drive better with the car. JDM K20 better be good for at least mid 14's if not better for that kind of money.
