Congrats !!

mattg

1st run of the day, full auto. i'm car 900.

69 degrees, 184 feet elevation. my previous best time was 14.67.

mattg

broke into the 14.50's gate shifting.

mattg

now things begin to get interesting.

this race was against a turbo integra. last time i was here i would have lost this race. pulleys and new tires owned the teg.

this slip deserves to be framed, but i went faster...

TheModMole

WTF did u race against?? A Japanese locomotive??? 28.XX Sec????????????????

mattg

they broke. :o

TheModMole

Ouch... thats gotta leave a mark..... Poor dude RIP

Way to represent!

Damn Teg had a doorhandle with your name on it, he hung in there like a trooper, or an angry girlfriend who just got the boot!

mattg

this run won the whole thing. the eclipse broke out of his dial in.
i won the plaque and a jacket. ....and the respect, to some people that's more important. :o lol.


check the r/t.

SFLA_Type-S

NICE Runs Matt!!! Way to represent.

Zapata

WOW!!!! 14.5 at nearly 70 degrees! your car is tuned

FDao

Great times! Were you running slicks or Kumho? 60FT times are quite good!

mattg

kumho's. my best 60' was 2.25.


thanks for the kind words guys.

KCPreki11

Good Job Matt!

mattg

so, after the race was over my friend wanted to ride along on a run. he weighs about 180lbs and i'm about 195. keep in mind, my previous fastest time, by myself was a 14.67.

so we line up against a 300 zx tt. i had been gateshifting all day except for the first run, so i put it in ss.

...my friend said the nissan owner looked a bit surprised as we walked away from him.

mattg

so, after that last run i was impressed. it seemed my car was getting faster. they were shutting down the track but they let me go one more time. i was in ss, temp was approx 77 degrees.

lucky me.

Zapata

gawd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Guess those pullies are making a HUGE difference!!!!!! 14.3

Samer007

Damn it.... I am jaw dropped to the floor... seems that UR pullyes are worths their cents... at least 0.3s gain and 3-4 MPH gains... something like 2X CAI gain....

14.3s and your last best was 14.6s... :P

and as I said earlier CLS is best run-after-run...

Damn it! I am now jalous, can't UR guys hurry and get their asses on getting the CLS specific Alt pullye done ASAP! I need to get the pulleys in ASAP!

We are in mid June and Temp are still in the 50s

I need to be on the track soon to get some 14.3s slips...

cnatra

that 60ft time was great!

You running stock wheels ???

Doom878

Awesome times. Especially that R/T.

Are you the fastest all motor auto CL-S?

mattg

cnatra, yes i'm running stock wheels.

Doom878, thanks. i don't know who has the fastest all motor cl-s. mine is up there though.

btw, $500 more and i will run 13's. anyone wanna guess how?

Doom878

If you mean THAT $500 you might hit 12's.

tw1112

WOW Great runs and times!!


I don't really get it, and I didnt read the other post btw....but how come some poeple already have the UR pulley's and others have to wait for the replacement parts?

mattg

no doom, not that $500

tw1112, the alternator pulley in the set did not fit the cl-s. some members are waiting for the replacement pulley before doing the install. i had mine installed w/o the alt. pulley, couldn't wait. so i only have 2 of the 3 pulleys installed.

damn, maybe i can squeeze another tenth w/ that alt. pulley, lol.

rise

time to get some superlight rims!!! some volks or SSRs

im proud to be a cl-s owner! keep rep'n us!!!

Nicky Pass

KICKAZZ.......14.3s are very respectable times!!!!

JRock

Hell yeah, man, nice runs! With all those mods you can now run right next to a stock 6speed.


3 tenths gain IF you have all his other mods too.

Black CL-S 4-Life

14.3!!!!

SFLA_Type-S

Matt...I am VERY Impressed

liquid_x

i wish we could run those kind of times in the temp down here

4thGSi

Awesome Time mang!! Did you take off your driver side roadlamp when you ran those times?

mattg

you are correct, sir. in fact, here are the exact conditions of my car during that run.

- 2 gallons of fuel(or less), 1/2 super 1/2 105 octane.
- left roadlamp removed
- trunk stripped, spare etc.
- koni's on stiffest setting
- upper part of rear seat removed
- air pressure, f.- 28psi, r.- 44psi
- ss mode, 2500 rpm tb

and i think i missed the perfect 2-3 shift by 100-200 rpm. with another couple runs i could have had a 14.2X. i'll have to wait a few weeks to find out.

FDao

By that you mean stiffest in the rear and somewhat softer in the front?

mattg

no, firmest setting front and back. do you think there would be an advantage to running the fronts softer. if so , explain.

Blazin TL

very nice times, did you gate shift to get the 14.3, i've read b4 that if you gate shift that you'll redline 1st but i've tried SS and it also redlined 1st...

FDao

By setting your Konis stiffer at the rear compared to the front, you can achieve a better 60Ft time via better traction as a FWD car tends to hunker backward as you accelerate out of the block. With the Konis at its stiffest setting on the rear, as well as higher rear tire PSI, the hunkered movement is minimized and you'll tend to get more traction in the front, thus better 60FT times, everything else being equal.

mattg

i got the 14.3 in ss mode, the car seems to hook up better. almost every time i gateshifted i hit the rev limiter between 1-2. so ss is great, i don't have to worry about the 1-2. and i didn't nail the 2-3 either, could have had another couple 100 rpms. the only run i did in ss, by myself, was the 14.3. i will run more in ss next time.

you can get higher into the rpm's gateshifting. but the #'s dont lie.
