Alright, this is my first time participating in actual legal drag racing. Coastie(another member of 7thgen) and I drove up to the Dorchester dragway to test out our cars.

My car stats: 02 EX Manual
AEM CAI
Tanabe R-Spec
REVO SS

Weight:
Sound System +50lbs
Me = 260lbs




Coastie's Car Stats: 01 LX Automatic
STOCK

Weight:
Him = 140lbs


Coastie and I ran 3 races against each other. Then a guy in a mid-90's Galant(auto) approached me wanting a race. He and I raced twice. Below are the time slips

I only had my timeslips to scan. Each race was neck and neck. I'm sure he will come post his times.

First race:
Since this is our first time racing, we were just getting used to the christmas tree and launching.

Fly: 1
Coastie: 0

My race against the Galant.


Fly: 0
Galant: 1


I dropped the clutch and bogged. He jumped and I was at his rear fender the rest of the race.

Afterwards he was talking $hit about how much better his car was. So I challenged him again. This time I had a perfect a launch and walked his a$$.

Fly: 1
Galant: 1

not to bad, 1/8th mile im guessing.

the galant have anything done to it?

CarbonFly

iTrader: (12)

Yea, it was 1/8 mile.

The guy in the Galant was claming to be stock but he had a loud a$$ exhaust. I could see he had a muffler tip hanging from the back, but no pipe connecting it. It looks like he just removed the whole cat back.


Are these times good for 1/8 mile?

Not bad for a first tripout. Work on your 60' time and you should see some nice rewards at the end.

Neon Impact...nice times. What RPM did you launch at...and did you lower the pressure in your tires??

One of those Galants pucned it at about 70 ahead of me on the interstate. When we hit about 100 he was pulling away from me pretty good.

11.5 is horrible, you definietely need to work on the driving im not trying to be rude but really that is a very bad 1/8 mile.

CarbonFly

iTrader: (12)

And you seem to forget that I am running on bald steelies with a fully Dynamated car and a sound system, plus my fatass in the seat.

My driving is fine. BTW, I ran 11.3.

Da2K1

Hey dude- you did pretty good! The times youlisted are for the 1/4 mile. We were talking 1/8 mile, which is waay better.

hey guys thanks for the input..

umm well you see my mods and i ran 28 PSI in my SI Wheels on the front and 32 PSI on the rims on the rear..

I launched at 2800 - 3000 rpm and didnt have much spin..

also i avoided hitting 2nd gear because that breaks traction and thats a no no..

but once again thanks for the input..

and i know this is 1/8 mile talk because me and fly were talking earlier..

i posted my slip once before but somehow it never showed up..

but fly isnt doing horrible people.. everyone has their days and he was having one of them i guess but im impressed on what he did..

have a good one...

CivicRacer5

How did you avoid hitting second gear, sorry about that fly i didnt know you had that much extra weight.

NeonImpact

iTrader: (37)

i basically did just slam it into 2nd i put it in fast but didnt flop out the clutch

its a hard way to explain just dont rag the **** outta it..

I usually pop the clutch in second...and that of course chirps (spins) the tires a bit. So thanks for that tip NEONIMPACT. Gotta try that my next run.

Coastie

Hey Coastie here...Yeah I went with Fly up to the track...It was a good time...although I got beat all three runs. (not by much)
1st run with Fly:
reaction: .638
ET:11.49 @ 61.354mph
That was my best and first time ever. I didn't think that was bad for an auto LX with rims and tires and stock engine...What do you all think??

94civicsedan

StreetTurbo races his DX at qualcomm and he runs 11's on the 1/8 mile.

Coastie

Should I put my short ram Injen on next time...or do you think that will make a difference....Fly didn't win but by like a nose or front fender...Maybe I can tie with him with the weight difference and all

askibum02

A short Ram won't really do anything except sound cool. You will be sucking up hot air from the engine and that kills your power. Will actually decrease your HP and make you slower.

Coatie should of won that first race. He was right almost dead even with me when we crossed.

Coastie

Thanks Fly...but you had some sweet runs! I think if you had clean, new tires you would have had better green lights...Those stock tires suck!...I think that's the only reason the races were so close...I have those Dunlop tires and I stuck it at the line...That was a lot of fun!
