went to the track for my first time and my best time was 15 flat, other times were no more than 15.5
times seem a little high, but someone told me that you minus 1 from your time because of the high elevation, I think it was more like times by .98
this was at 5 psi, I took an s4 by .20 seconds and a sti, 5.0 gt, and alot more. Hatches and evos took me all the time. The sti driver told me he bogged first gear and I took him 2nd and third while he was finally gaining on 4th but it was too la te by then.

this was in palmdale.
can anyone tell me what I was exactly running? The elevation there was 2000-3000 ft
this was with:
5psi with sf kit, sf fmu, ground wire, aem pullies, stock clutch, street tires, megan resonator and greddy exhaust. Will go back with 9 psi, act racing clutch, act flywheel, alchy injection, unortho crank pulley, slicks and hopefully ems with a good tune.

You ran 15 seconds flat thats it the elevation doesnt matter because its not like when your in the street over there your gonna be like here let me calculate the elevation so that my car can go faster. Yeah it effects the car but unless your coming to lower elevation dont worry about it. Besides at 5 psi untuned its kinda hard to get faster than 15 seconds your car just keeps amazing me beating mustang gts and v8s at 5 psi

STI's would walk all over you..

They are Mid 13's with an average driver, and low 13's with a good driver. Even if he bogged the launch, 2nd and 3rd pull extremely hard and could easily overtake a 15.5 second car..

I totally agree with Nofriends on this one. A 15 second slip doesn't beat half the cars on the road no offfense. I run 14.3 and an sti pulls on me like a ****. My friends stock 03 GT stang ran 13.9 last week. How are you beating these cars?

 
Rep Power: 0

My friend has a STI and isnt a good driver at all, and hardly knows about cars and I watched him do a 13.3! So theres no way.

 
Rep Power: 289

thank you, I know my car is amazing.

actually, I aint from there, Im from los angeles where its alot closer to sea level so

btw I rolled with a type-s and a civic homemade turbo at 12+ psi
the type s modded was i/e/hondata/ and some other stuff
the type-s was running 15.2 with slicks as his best time of the night, while the homemade turbo civ ran 14.4 with slicks as his best time.

 
Rep Power: 294

well close to sea level you should be running faster times but your not like i said 5 psi untuned your not gonna run faster than that. Your sti story is unbelievable because they run 13's not even at 10 psi tuned is your story believable

 
Rep Power: 289

thats nice, I know I couldnt believe it either but I got him.
not all sti driver can run 13s.

 
Rep Power: 289

modded evos were running 14 flat. thats without the elevation deduction.
well 13.9 but thats the one that beat me I was running like 15 when the evo took my by 13.9

i thought elevation didnt matter anymore since cars automatically adjust to changing altitude with fuel injection, its carbs that suffer?

 
Rep Power: 0

An STI could be running at 5,000 ft and still beat your sea level times. So unless he started in 2nd and went straight to 4th, there is no way.

 
Rep Power: 323

what was your trap speed?

 
Rep Power: 0

well air is lees dense the higher you go, tah meas less oxigen to burn the fuel with...

Your should at least deduct a .5 sec with that height...

 
Rep Power: 400

altitude will affect 1/4 mile time. as stated. the higher up you are, the less dense the air is, to you're making less power.

what track did you run at? they often offer you the corrected times factoring in elevation. do you have the timeslip? it often says it on there too.

even so, a 15 flat is a far cry from some of these cars you are "beating". please don't be another black99vtec. one of him is enough.

 
Rep Power: 295

How much money have you spent on your turbo setup?

 
Rep Power: 289

speed was 96ish.. and yes I did beat an sti.

 
Rep Power: 289

dont think so newb, the ref told me to multiply my time by .98 which I did and it comes out to 14.7

btw, the sti I ran, he ran 15.6 ish, Im not saying his car is not fast, but maybe he was a weak driver because I talked to him afterwards and he told me it was his first time at the tracks as well as my first time.

 
Rep Power: 0

He must have been out of boost fluid.

 
Rep Power: 289

nope, like I said he told me he bogged first, shifted to 2nd too early then started catching up on 4th where it was too late.
dont hate congradulate

Congradulations for beating the worst driver ever to get his hands on a STI.

Better?

Now come race me on a track and Ill beat you with just a WRX.

 
Rep Power: 289

sure ill race ya, wait til i get my unortho pulley, new clutch, new flywheel, slicks, raise the boost to 10+ psi, get tuned then lets see..
I go to the palmdale racetrack with my friends on weds so let me know, ill meet u up there.

 
Rep Power: 0

Hey Civic...Il meet you upthere some time...Il take my 5.0 cuz its really hard to bealieve you beat one let alone a STi but we'l see...

 
Rep Power: 289

sure thing, we can roll there coming wed. Ill race that 5.0 of yours also, like I said before, the sti ran mid 15s is the only reason i beat him.

 
Rep Power: 294

^^^^ What about the gt you claim you beat???? Film this race i wanna see him get his *** smoked

Rep Power: 0

I kinda need my tires first....

 
Rep Power: 400

lol this is such a ricer response. and people wonder how civics get a bad name? Oh wait til i get this and that and this and that.

you run what you have. you dont spout off a bunch of crap you plan to do.

and I'm sorry, if you beat those cars, then you ran some of the S H I T T I E S T drivers E V A R.

if you won, so be it. that does NOT mean your car was faster.
