Well..i finally did this sunday....weather was good...bout 77 degrees
reaction time...0.55
1/4 mile 14.6

My car is all stock and i finally have learned to do decent launch.
I was happy and satisfied...Car and driver quoted a 14.5 and at first that kinda looked hard as all others i hear do 15s..

Anyways...maybe with header and intake i can do low 14s??

can you scan the timeslip for us? how did you launch? revs? clutch? any bad tire spin? I can't wait to get mine back on frdaiy...

 

I want to take mine to the track. I put on an AEM intake and wow, you can tell a difference, especially the way it sounds after 5000 rpm when the intake opens up, i also added Eibach springs as well. Does yours still spin the tires going into 2nd at full throttle? I want to try to avoid that when I race. Also, did you do a burnout?

 

mine spins in 2nd at full throttle... we need new tires I guess...

 

o yeah I dind't mention... GREAT TIME!... that's really awesome man... you're .1 off pro drivers... props...

 

fun stuff.. i'm going to see what my 3.0 cl-p can do this weekend

 

i think you can drop it to like a 14.3-4 if you run it a few more times(stock)

 

very nice! good job!
im thinking of giving it another try this friday! I'll let you know if I can get my time a little lower!

 

Awesome purplehaze,What rpm did you launch at?

 

You can do it MAN! New Rims yet?

 

Not yet but i was wondering, why get 8" wheels if every just puts 225's on them? i've seen 235's on 8" wheels but not all of them. so why get a 8" wheel when you can get a lighter 7.5" wheel with the same tires?

I should start a new thread!

 

it was real good launch...wheelspined but no hoping!!

i let her go at bout 2000 rpm i think..my other runs were 14.8 14.9
kept her below the dreaded 15 i kept thinking bout.

thanks for the replies...this has really encouraged me to put some mods in this baby cuz all the money spent on my v6 accord coupe didnt help much with my times.~~

O yea and my car has 4000 miles on it...and i swear it feels alot faster then when i first had it...those break in miles really do matter i guess IN the performance
