I went to Englishtown Last Wed. night with a buddy of mine who has an evo. ON my first pass I ran a 14.2 which is not bad. On the second pass I ran a 14.3 . My best time was my last run was a 14.01. I was real suprised I was able to run 14 flat on 19's. My buddy was running his usual low 12's like it was his job. Any way I hope once I get my crank pulley I will be able to get it into the 13's at least a 13.9.

 

6-speed, I take it?

 

wow, those are awesome times man! and you only have a CAI and are on 19's damn, show us your charts. what does your friend have done to his evo, stock evo's don't run close to low 12's that is corvette Z06 country.

 

holy crap, those are great times - especially with 19s

 

Nice time, but remember that the RJ 19's arent the typical heavy as sin wheels. Arent they like almost identical to the weight of the stock 17's? I know the 17's that came with my CL-S were heavy as sin for an alloy wheel (like 26lbs). Plus I'm sure your 19's have more aggressive rubber than stock crap, so that'll help traction.

 

post the slips!

 

Im working on it my scanner is broken at home. i will try at work.

 

Remarkable time for a relatively stock TL on 19s.

 

Good job at the track. BTW you have the 6speed right?

 

Excellent, post the best slip...

Were you going 99mph or so?

 

wow amazing times, hard to believe almost, slips please!

 

nice run.

 

If he's a 6MT w/ CAI it shouln't be so hard to believe. lol
BTW Slips would be nice.

 

I cant get my fax to work so i am going to try and take a pic of them with my digital and maybe I can do it like that. i have been traveling alot for work so I dont know when i will be home but I will post them.

 

blktl u got an AUTO or MANUAL?

 

it's gotta be a 6MT w/intake to come close to 14.01 or else you are telling us a fib I think.

 

Well i checked out the 3G modified gallery and saw a few pictures of blktl1's car and noticed the Black Acura brakes behind the Inspyre's so he is a 6MT. Tried ending the suspense lolll. Anyways here's the thread it's on the 1st page. https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=98639

 

Yeah its a 6MT and I just put nitto 555 on the car and they are great. if you heat them up enough, you cant even chirp 2nd. Ill definatley hit 13's when I put my pullie and exhaust on.

 

what were your 60'?

 

Even if they are just as heavy (or light for that matter), having most of the wheel's mass farther away from the center of rotation, requires more effort from the car to move it.

 

without slips im afraid im gonna have to call this

 

blktl1,
I meant just post the numbers from the best pass... Hurry!

 

hey man...which exhaust are u getting?

 

Yeah just post the numbers on the slip, I'm curious also.

 

You can call it what you want but I have the proof. I am just trying to get it on here. My scanner wont work and when I try to take a digital pic its not clear enough to read numbers. I gave it to my father to bring to his job to scan it in for me so I should have it on by monday.

 

I am going to get the comptech. I am also going to have the Cats removed. I am going to have a custom down pipe made. My buddy works for a perfomance shop ans said that its actually very easy but he is worried about clearance because my car is low. If you look at the stock y pipe where it comes together some of the piping is almost flattened for clearance.

 

sorry man, your car will not run low 14's with some heavy 19" chrome rims. Have to call

 

I wont call it (yet) but I would like to see that timeslip.

 

are the nittos DRs or street tires? if they're DRs then that would make more sense.
blk, what was your 60'???

 

Just post the numbers...

et
mph
60ft..
etc......

 

sorry but I call BS w/o slips, 14.01 sounds just too damn fast.

 

Common guys his scanner doesnt wrk i hate when stuff breaks down when u need it the most

 

14.01 in a relatively stock TL? I'd have to see proof personally.

 

Just be patient, he'll provide a scanned copy online for you.

 

He's probably looking for some elses time slip that ran 14s. Thats why its taking so long.

 

 

yeah you got me man. Trust me if I was doing that I would have just posted my I/H/E RSX slip from a year ago. You people just are unbeleivable. All you have to say is negative comments. HAHAHAHAHA I call BS. Good for you. Just becuase you cant drive and can barely hit 14,s you call bs right away. I have been driving a stick since I was 13 on my fathers work truck. I went to 3 different driving schools and I can run just about anything down the strip at its full potential. As soon as I get my scanner working I will show you all my paper work showing what car it is and the car number on the car and the number on the track reciept bog mouth. do me a favor, dont make comments when you dont know what your talking about.

 

Let's not kid ourselves here - being able to drive a car to full potential is important in achieving the best times, but even Mario Andretti can't get a stock 5spd Hyundai Accent to run 14s. The car has to have the potential to do it, and in this case, I don't think the TL does. Just my

 

Cool man. Can't wait to see the slips. BTW don't listen to what some people say on this forum, they just feeling being a$$holes. And people who laugh at insulting comments are no better either. HAHA Oh yeah BTW some1 else said to just type the 60',1/8,1/4,and ET can you do that for us?. Thanks.

 

I believe you even without the slips. According to some of the magazines, they were able to get the Aspec packaged TL to run 14.2 but at the same time I know that what the magazines aren't always accurate. But since you have the AEM air intake and you claim to be a good driver, it can be done.

I should go run my car so I can back you up........
