What's the best time for a NA 2G TL-S that doesn't have a 6MT swap?

I think i remember seeing someone posting in the 14.3 range?

The reason I am asking if because I've already hit 14.6x, and since I did that(I/E only) I've added comptech headers, IM/TB Spacers, Fuel pump. ALso looking at getting lightweight pulleys and AEM A/F controller

 

The fastest I have seen is a 14.0 @101MPH I believe. That was with I/H/E/P. I can't remember who it was but I know that I have seen quite a few running low 14's with bolt ons similar to yours.

 

never updated but i ended up snapping my axle on a 1-2 shift (crazy i know) but i got my 60' down

2.1- but had to tow the car off the strip

 

damn that sucks..but at same time good i guess showing you have that much power right!!! time for some beefier axles!

 

I'm going to the track tomorrow at Autoclub Speedway located in Fontana, CA.

They're having the street legal drags and I will let you guys know how I do.

If anybody in SoCal is down to go, gates open at 6am and I'll be there bright and early .

I ran at the Qualcomm Race Legal event a couple of weeks ago and I figured I should just go to a 1/4 mile track and do it right.

 

Good luck Tyler! Let us know how you do!

 

Sweet! Can't wait for the results Tyler!!

 

Soooo close to the 13's!!

14.05, 14.08, 14.09, 14.11, 14.13, 14.14 from fastest to slowest.

Lowest trap was 98.35 and highest was 99.4.


03 TL-S headers/intake/exhaust

 

Just got back from the Autoclub speedway and here are my results.

Run #1:

R/T: .631
60': 2.584
330: 6.635
1/8: 9.911
MPH: 75.40
1000: 12.700
1/4: 15.065
MPH: 95.01

The track hooked well, but I screwed up my launch (as usual ).

MPH / 1/8th mile times are strong .. especially for this track. From what I'm told, the track is relatively slow .. 04accordcoupe (Sean) can attest to this

Run #2:

R/T: .734
60': 2.620
330: 6.627
1/8: 9.870
MPH: 76.11
1000: 12.636
1/4: 14.977
MPH: 96.01

My 60' s were pretty bad. I was scared to launch hard because I didn't want to break anything and be stranded 118 miles from home .

My 2nd race was against a 2007 TL-S w/ RV6 V3 J-Pipe & CAI, he had a much better 60' and I ended up only about a car length behind. I'd say my car has much better top end because my car slowly started reeling him in from about 60 - 90.

MPH was really strong for the track, 1/8th mile was REALLY improved from my Qualcomm track day.

I think I will go back to the track when I get my timing belt package done and my tuneup.

Sorry to disappoint guys!

 

Tyler, not bad man. I've heard about that track from Sean, definitely not a fast track. What's the DA over there?

2.6 60' yikes! Lol I can understand not wanting to break anything. I snapped an axle doing a nice burnout on the street in my old Accord

Notbrant: Very nice times. What was your 60'?

 

post slips guys!

 

Those are excellent times for a sub 100 mph trap in a FWD car. Were you on drag radials?

 

When I get my tax return, the first thing I'm ordering is coilovers.

My car bucks so hard during shifts, it doesn't put the power down immediately like a car with coilovers.

Funny thing is, if my car can trap 96.01 at a slow track .. my car could be capable of 98 / 99mph trap speeds ... and this car has 93,000 miles on it!

I love Hondas

 

Ill post my slips tomorrow, all my 60 foots were 2.2x i think one 2.3x, SHITTY ass tires, "Diamond Back" brand, I also have 3g wheels which are a bit lighter than stocks I believe.

 

Heres a timeslip of a 9.340 that I ran at Qualcomm Stadium's 1/8th mile:





Mods at the time were just exhaust, new all season street tires, and suspension.


I am going to race at Autoclub speedway in the next month or two when my headers get in, and I am confident that I will get into the high 13's.

 

Very nice! what were your 60ft times. Those headers make a world of difference!

 

Not bad for your first time at the track tyler! Your times will improve the more you go to the track and practice.

 

I ran in the 1/8 mile track 10 sec flat ill post the slip when I get home and that just with mid muffler delete

 

Took my TL to the track for the first time yesterday.
Best time was 14.57 @ 98.37 with a 2.363 60' :/
I didn't lower tire pressure and didn't do a burnout.

Mods:
- Fujita CAI
- Mid Muffler Delete
- Resonator Delete
- RV6 V3 J-Pipe
- Checkvalve Delete

About to buy some motor mounts and coilovers soon to help with the wheel hop/traction.

 

thanx for the times I've want to go run it to get times but now i have a estimate it just feels slow after getting to drive a switzer GTR

 

youll need to fly a plane to experience anything faster lol

 

Feb 05, 2011 Fontana Speedway, i took my 2007 Acura Tl Type S AT-- no mods, just stock, the fastest time i got was 14.8 on auto/2nd run was horrible and embarrasing and it was w/paddle shifters but i dont i just wasnt comfortable at that time using them 16.0+, 3rd run i got 14.9 on 1/4 mile...the next time will be May 7th and i will have bolt ons, so i will follow up then with my times...cant wait!

 

Nice runs! The elevation of that track is 1110ft so at sea level you could knock a couple tenths off of that or so depending on the weather. What was your 60ft and trap speed?

 

Watching that clip above @ Etown, I can almost smell the exhaust fumes, burning food and the odor of that nutritionless concession stand food.

w/ Satin regarding the elevation factor on cmares' run. I guess on the flipside of my Etown comment above is that it's at sea level at least.

 

I can't wait to get my 1st run in this year. It's great weather right now but I'm still not ready! By the time I'm ready to go it'll probably be 70+ degrees and humid.

Cmare I can definitely see you running more like 14.6 at a sea level track. Nice runs.

 

yea track opening up soon up in Epping about 1month or so more, just 1 more month or so.....

this time I will be better prepared just got fresh set of Nitto Invo's 245/45/17 instead of the old garbage 235 bridgestone I had last time there and got fresh new transmission with the Redline Lightweight fluid and RV6 full exhaust on the way....hopin to dip in low 14's for sure......

 

I hope everyone in here lowers their front tire psi whenever they hit the strip....

 

What tire pressure do you suggest?

 

I've never lowered the pressure, but I am willing to try it.

Why is everything centered in this thread?!?!!?!

 

Fastest time to date. 14.1 @101 with a 2.35 60 ft. Elevation: 786 ft tires: hankook ventus v12 evo with no burnout at all. Stock clutch slipping from 6500-7200rpm.

Launch at 1500 rpm.

New clutch going on this month along with 85a mounts and the Hoosiers.

Even made some money tonight against a 2010 camaro ss. We did best two out of three and I treed him every run.
First run I ran a 14.3 and he ran a 14.8
Second run I ran a 14.1 and he ran a 13.7
Third run I ran a 14.2 and he ran a 15.0

Dude could not drive

 

24psi

Are you kidding!?? Lower the fronts to 24 and you'll run 13's!

You shouldn't be doing burnouts anyway. That will actually give you less traction for street tires

 

The tires were cold. A small spin on the ventus to get them warm is recommended. I had to let the car sit for 40 minutes to an hour before every run so a small burn would've yielded a faster time. Plus I had to baby the launch since xlr8 has yet to send those mounts out.

 

24psi in the fronts and what does everyone suggest launching at?

 

Nick. Give me a run down of your car and tire setup please.

I didn't drop tire pressure when I went to the track. I wasnt planning on launching hard because I have an axle breaker on my hands

 

2500rpm is the best launch for a CLS-6, I would launch it the same way on your car

 

Holy shit phee! I didn't realize how quick your car is haha I'm sure you've surprised a lot of ppl on the road...

I'm still looking at that time, wow...not bad at all for a 2G TL with 170+K!!

 

Very nice Phee! 14.1@101 with that 60' is very nice. Your clutch was slipping as well? I'd assume that could account for a few tenths and even a mph or so in the traps. I forget your mods

Definitely let us know when you go back with your mounts/clutch! I have a clutch on the way as well

 

depends on your car. depends on your tire compound and your mount stiffness. there is no perfect rpm that covers every car.

 

i barely get to race nowadays. nobody ever chalenges me and i never start races anymore.

on my way back from the track i had a 330i that i put a few car lenghts on multiple times. he started it and i had been itching for a good run so i rubbed it in :devil:

i stopped his pull a few times and even threw the hazards on. he got off at the same exit as me and we went from a stand still. i put a freakin bus on his

i was an asshole that night.

i think he wanted to race because i have the dial-ins on my car as well as the class and number on my windows (which im leaving on there )

 

what kind of clutch?

my mods:
3 inch intake
xs headers
2.5 magnaflow exhaust
underdrive pulley (waste of a mod but it was 25 bucks :shrug)

this run was full interior minus my sub in the trunk

edit: why isnt multiquote working?
