True, it seems no one trusts anyone else here for ****. Unless you show proof, people are gonna start flaming, bitching, whining, calling you names....

How much weight redux?

 
Rep Power: 0

lets see here....

no dyno as of yet... nothing to tune the car yet so no need....when the AFC makes it on the car then yeah tuning will happen.

weight reduction..... all steelies for wheels. 17's are too heavy to race on. No rear seat, no pass seat, no trunk carpet, or jack/spare. Basically the easy things to remove were removed that weren't necessary, school books etc.

proof coming for all you non-belivers [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

Get your reaction time a bit faster and you could do a lot better.! Good JOb!!!

Good job man!! I believed you the whole time!

thanks flyriceracer, anyone else not believe?

FWI, reaction time has nothing to do with ET... this is my brother's car he does the racing in it, haven't gotten a crack at it since I go to school in coloardo. soon though if the tracks stay open.

shows how much u know about racing.

And what is that supposed to mean? What is wrong with my statement?

cool

I stated in my previous post....

reaction time has nothing to do with ET. I could have a .500 and still run 15.6 or a 2.2 reaction time and have a 15.6

I see what you are saying. I'm thinking of the race itself it matters. When you are going against the other person. Thanks for clearing that up.

 
Rep Power: 328

that's known as bracket racing (going against another car) when you're racing for ETs then it doesn't matter at all

 
Rep Power: 0

is there anyone else faster 7th gen wise NA? if so please list the mods you thought gave you the most gain....the header is the best to date on the LX IMO

 
Rep Power: 0

the overall race would be better if he did indeed get a better reaction time. But it would not effect his E.T. R.T, dial in time and E,T are all big factors in bracket racing though.

hey all thats my time slip, hehe im very happy, thank god i ran that time, now i have something to show for the so called slow civics, well just to let you know, that .7 reaction time, is not normal for me, i was only trying to get my 60 ft down, and it worked, now my regular reaction times when are .5's and .6's just for all your information thanks for the posts guys and thanks for the praises im not finished yet by the way, so ill be posting more often just to let you all know, later

impressive.

0-60 of 2.3 isn't too bad at all.

reaction time doesn't factor into ET like everyone stated, timing starts when you pass the line...

the car does have a couple more tenths in her with a better 60ft. [IMG]i/expressions/demon.gif[/IMG]

What is the TCS header

 
Rep Power: 425

This is not exactly right.

Your steelies weight somewhere in the neighborhood of 18-19 lbs. I can go out and buy many 17" rims that weight less than 18 lbs.
What you probably meant to say was that your 14" steelies have less inertia than a 17" rim. This is the statement you want. The reasoning behind the smaller rim and faster time lies in the torque required to turn the wheels. Smaller rims have a smaller moment (torque) arm and therefore provide faster starts. Your 14's take less torque to turn, so they get rolling faster. Smaller rims also give you more sidewall... drag racing is one of very few places where big sidewalls are a good thing.... They can "bunch up" (for lack of a better term) so there is a recoil effect and less tirespin. Low sidewall tires are not as flexable since they have less of a sidewall to compress. This is the reason pro drag cars have huge sidewalls and small rims.
You're partially right... 14's are better than 17's to drag race on... but not because they're lighter... it's because they have less inertia.
