my track time
track time for my 2k1 lx auto......
fastest was 18.01 in the quarter mile, slowest was 18.39. out of 4 runs.
my car is slow
all i have is a k&n fipk , everything else is pretty much stock. i launched at about 3k rpms for the fastest time, and the slowest one i launched at about 5k rpms and just spun a little.
my reaction time was around 1.1 best to 1.3 worst. i dont know if thats good or not

Rep Power: 361 never neutral drop.
u can brake torque it. but then that puts pressure on the torque convertor...
thanks for the times. i now know my quarter mile

I have an 02 lx manual and launched at about the same and ran a 16.3. I have I/H/E and thats it. Why is yours so low?

Rep Power: 0 I am very confused. Here is a basically stock LX running 18's, and there are various others who say they get 16's, and even 15's...how is that possible. I/H/E don't add much for LX/EX Civics so how do you trim 2 to 3 seconds off your times. Even if your a decent driver, 1 second is considerable time in a 1/4 mile. It boggles my mind. I have a feeling either people aren't telling the truth about what they're cars have, or lying about the times.
Although, I don't really trust anything that is said in this forum.

Rep Power: 342 Well lets look at these claims
stock LX, auto = low 18 (18.01)
stock LX, manual = low 17 (17.01)
I/H/E LX, manual = mid 16 (16.3)
from that we can conclude that a manual will beat an auto by abot 1 second. And a modified manual will beat a stock manual by about .7.
There are also other factors that could affect their times.
Ike (16.3) could have gone to a track in the North pole so the -38742896 F ambient air temperature would helped him alot. While Mr. 18.01 could have gone to a track in Death Valley where the ambient air temp is alot higher, would have hurt his times. Near the end of the season, some people say the track gets sticker because of all the rubber left on it. So maybe Ike went near the end of the season, before they start cleaning off the track. While Mr 18.01 might have gone on a freshly cleaned track. The right conditions play a big role in drag racing.

Rep Power: 0 Yeah, there are too many factors involved to get the same time consecutively. I plan to take mine to track in Baytown to see what it will run with just an exhaust. But seeing it being hot in Houston 100% of the time, it will suck more than it should.

Rep Power: 0 as far as the neutral drop (aka tranny drop lol) i didnt do that. i just held the brake and revved up the engine in drive. but in all honesty, i thought i was going to run a 19 cause i have about 100 lbs in stereo in my car.

Rep Power: 0 heh.. civic bone stock should run faster than an 18.. and the time doesn't matter about reaction time, it comes out the same about all the time.. it just gets you head of the other guy

Rep Power: 0 man, these Civics are slow!
I was there when neoretromax was running 18s.
I was running consisten 16.9s and I have a 01 EX manual
My tire psi was 35 in the front and rears. So I think that had something to do with it.
I only have a drop, a bodykit and exhaust.
I have 14.5lb Slipstreams (16x7) with Kumho Ecstas.
I know if I get a CAI and work on my reaction time (1.5 to 1.7 avg), I can probably get it into the 16.4s.
I did notice that I was lowering my 16.9s from 16.96 down to 16.90 by staying in VTEC slightly longer. I have a habit of shifting once I touch redline.
I got beat by...
1. GSR (15.4)
2. Celica GTS (14.9)
3. 87 Civic (16.4)
4. Turbo 200sx (13.6)
So I came home embarrassed.

Rep Power: 0 I know all those factors may affect your acceleration, speed, whatever...but these time differences are staggering. Considering a 1 second length is about 6 or 8 cars when going those speeds.
I just don't see how adding a CAi or exhaust is gonna get you even a fraction of a second. The gains are negligable.

Actually I live in Mississippi. Its quite hot here with bad humidity. Also my front tires are damn near bald. Once my intake manifold comes in I plan on rotating my tires and running again.
You guys think a short shifter helps shave down your time significantly? I know that how well a driver shifts and at what rpm's the driver shifts at can make a huge difference in your time, I bet if you guys all work on it a little more you can shave off some more time too...

Oh and for the people that don't understand how ET and reaction timesw work.
Lets say you have 2 car, exactly the same, with the same driver, both run a 13 flat. Car A gets a .500 reaction time, while car B gets a 1.000. Car A will cross the finish line .500 seconds before car B. But both cars will run a 13 flat.

Rep Power: 0 his time is so low because its an auto.
Times would have been better if it was a manual.
Then its all about the driver (I'm not trying to say anything is possible, just making a point)
