well...i got the nitto 555R 245/45/17's on and i can barely break them lose...alittle wheel hop...i hope i dont have too much traction....im going to the 1/8th on wed. along with that yellow S2K...he will be shootin 70 nos that day ...and wearing a helmet...something in the 12's i suspect...well...low 8 's concidering .... remeber this car also has the comp SC ...maybe i'll get a pass or two in it....pics and video to follow.....

Mike

finally let us know how it goes. too bad it doesn't get that cold in florida.

Pics of S2000 too please!

typeR

im worried only alittle cause...it almost feels like when you have a clutch but you launch at too low an RPM...but the one time i torque breaked it had some spin and some wheel hop...not good ...but concidering res and MMII arent too far away...they may be just what i need to get me back...if any where i need to be...as far as pics...of the s2 no prob should have many...and alittle mpeg...maybe of me behind the whell...i think the body work will be done by then so ...soopa no worries about where the bumper cover is this time>>> im so psych'd...this is my first time to the track...its only the 1/8 but what the hell....i guess if you look at where i end up in the 1/8 you can compare to say sprioh's recent 14.2 and gauge where im at...and i have the launch advantage

fast_daddy_car

typeR

i should also mention my friends S2K...yellow super charged and nos (70hp)...clutch problems...best time 8.6 and change dont knot the speed...we did one run side by side where he got a 9.2 at 80mph ....he only got me at the end....man that thing spools up....sorry to dissapoint...no video or pics this time...but im hooked...

Nice times ya got there. Best I ran was a 9.860...bone stock, about 38 degrees.

michaeljr

good times. i ran in pecan park, florida in 30 degree weather with a best time of 9.71 all stock. tire spin was definately a problem off the line and in second. track was too cold. the worst part of it all was that was my with girlfriend driving with me in the car with her. i still hear about it.

good luck with tread problems... they wont last too long if your using it for daily driving man.. all my buddy save it for when they race.. or sometimes at the track if they dont have full blown slicks.. then again.. if your rich.. go for it =)

Nice runs,

with CAI no headers, i was running on a summer night (temp 83) at 9.8s at 73.8MPH. 9.4s at 76s is very good..

Wonder what the MM would do to your 1/8 times.

Mike

I would guess that the 1st one was a ~14.5x . i'll look at my time slips tonight and let you know.

BBsAcuraRacing

I dont understand. I have Nitto 555r in a 235/45/17 and i can launch sooooo hard that the car will hit 2nd gear while the tires are smoking. The only mod so far is the AEM CAI .

best run was 14.85 @95mph last summer

typeR

555R's dont come in 235/45 you probablly have 555's
r's are street leagal drag radials..

BBsAcuraRacing

Yes, you are correct.

typeR

sorry to bring back alittle bit of an old thread...but i had a question....is there anyway of estimating 0-60 based on the times postes here????I THOUGHT the 6.2xxx was 0-60 but it's 330 ft... so am i faster than 6.2 to 60 or slower?????or is there no real was of telling

kHmER Co

Go burrow someones g-tech.. and you get an idea what your 0-60 is
