Is that why I launched the car twice when I was there, one of which might have been recorded by Bees friend? Makes sense....

 

I left after we ate and had a beer.
I did not see anything ?
Just bring it one day before you get rid of it.

 

You said what I said you said.
wether someone talked you into later ,I have no idea.
But you were NOT down when I said something "that's for sure".

 

Correct, you did leave after we ate. The majority of us went to the UNC campus (IIRC) to take pictures afterwards. This is a pointless argument though...

Since you dont want to drive far, find a 1/4 mile track near you. If I beat you, you pay for my gas there and back. If I lose, then I lose. I think thats fair since you want me to drive 4+hrs just so you can compare cars.

 

Sounds like a fair deal to me

 

Can I join?

 

^We should get a few of us to mess around one day.
That would be the shit.

Civic I could throw some dough for gas if you ever wanted to make the ride to make some runs.NP

 

You guys are too funny. All jokes aside we should all try to get together one day and meet at a track. That would be fun as hell having a bunch of cl's running together.

So since your using the 08tls cams what other set of cams do you have richardparker?

 

regrinds from web

 

What's the reason for you not using these? What's the specs on them?

 

Yea, I think a Super CL (and one TL) Track Meet is in order

 

Not using them because I need more compression.
And I'm not sure if I want to shave the heads yet.
I don't want to put it into a full rebuild since pistons might need work for clearance.
I might have 4400miles or so on the build now.

The cams have more aggessive specs than the level 2's

 

We should really set this up. Maybe we can even do a track rental that would be sick!

 

We're trying to set something up at Atco for December.

 

Sounds good keep us updated!

 

What's that in NJ ?

 

^ Yes, south Jersey. Almost Atlantic City lol. When are you guys available? I'm pretty sure I'm good next weekend and the weekend following (last weekend Atco is open depending on weather conditions).

 

I'm in Delaware not too far I'm definatly down

 

K if you guys plan to make the drive, I will too. This would be a fun meet.

 

That's too far for me unless I was to take a vacation or something.

Somebody make a poll with differnt tracks/organize something for the spring where we could get a good group of cars together.

Another 15lbs out of the car so far today.


It's so post to be 63-64 degrees in NC this week end. Perfect weather . I'm sure it would be a bit more cold in NJ.

 

If my car gets done , and it's ready , I am down

 

If i was closer id join

 

i'd join....then I could talk to Rich in person instead of on the phone. LOL

 

Ohio seems to be the medium. I'm sure we can all make a 9+ hour trip to make it fair for everyone. Anyone?

 

Lets meet somewhere centralized...like a 3 hour drive for everyone. Hell, ill do 4 hours. Central Pennsylvania it is!

On a side note, the last time I went to Virginia (this july) I was caught in storm covering 120mph in a straight line while on my way to the East Coast Honda Meet....you guys remember that? GAWD DAYUMMM i didnt think id live to tell the tale. I mostly outran the bitch, but my car was covered in tree sap from route 65.

 

That would work for me. I would bring my cams so you could take a look at them.


3-4 hours would work for me too .
9hours would kill me stripped ,loud exhaust and no tunes.

 

I remember that storm! Saw the car at the meet but didn't get a chance to meet ya.

I understand. I drove from South FL to VA for 17 hours without tunes...

I'm going to create a thread so we can all BS and chat there and discuss more about this drag strip meet. Don't want to clutter Rich's thread.

 

Ohio or Central PA is good for me

 

I say we meet at Virginia Motorsports Park, Maryland International Raceway, Richmond Dragway, Atco, or Englishtown. Any of those tracks would be good since were all on the east coast. I'll chime in the new thread lol.

 

Chat thread about track meets here.

https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...6#post14184716

 

3-4hrs will only get you to Richmond.

4-5hrs for me is Atco.

 

I'd actually consider this but I know you all are mostly on the East coast

 

I don't mind driving that distance/time as long as more people show up.

It could be like a semi-national meet. Chime in on the other thread.

 

Just came back from the track.
And the car was not running to consistint et's but,was trapping pretty consistint 86mph.

Fastest et today 8.5 ,yeahhhhhh buddy

 

Just got off the phone with my buddy that drags all the time and sures me my car will be running in the 12's in the 1/4 with the right wheel and tire setup.

Now I need help picking that, Anyone?

 

RPF1 17's or 18's 225/35/17 or 18

 

I was thinking of something with a 265-275 width and about 25.5-26" height for the front.

 

^ 25.5" wouldn't be too bad considering you have the 3.7 torque. You may be better off, unless of course you can find a 24.5" wheel/tire combo with wide tires (245+). That would be ideal. Motets Traklites are super light as are RPF1s. 16x8(+) would be best IMO, unless you have by breaks and can't fit 16s.

Btw great run. 8.5x is very impressive as is 86mph. Currently I'd guess your car is good for 13.0-13.1. A perfect run with a 2.0x 60' should net you a 12.x. Congrats on running a new PB. What size are your wheels/tires now?

 

Wheels now are:

Front wheels 20lb 18's
Front tires 25lb 245/40/18 nitto nt05

Rear wheels 20lbs 18's
Rear tires 22lbs 215/40/18 kumho solus

There is weight to shed here and with the right tire it could lead to a statement for the N/A guys.

You know I will be trying to remove some more weight before next weekend

 

You think you can fit a 275 front tire without fender work? My 255's barely fit and don't even have proper suspension clearance.
