PIR is opening up in another week YAY for drags

 

Yea i know, i need to get some sort of money income besides unemployment. I couldnt let myself spend that on air runner. lol

Just heard back from Mike, and there are no templates...

Sadly i feel the same way about the job market, and if it does take till summer ill be going back to school on my GI Bill. By then they are changing the GI Bill to pay for housing as well. weeeee!

I will be there next friday. Saturday i will be up in bellevue at Bond of Bellevue

 

what is Bond of bellevue?

free goverment money is always nice..

update!! rear sway bar came in the mail.. progress sway bar FTW

 

Bond of Bellevue is a car show in Bellevue

yay for PIR

 

so a TL typs S M should run a 14.1 pro driver - right??

 

Sounds about right.

 

New parts ftw!!

Yea free money is always nice, but i hate taking hand outs.

Uh...maybe. Lowest ive gotten was 14.2 e/t. Granted i dont have a 3.5, but i do have some decent bolt on power, and absolutely no wheel hop.

Id be more willing to say high 14's for a stock 3.5L

When i first ran my car with CAI, Stage 3 Exhaust, IM/TB spacer i could only push out a 14.8 e/t...so yea, i still say high 14's on a stock 3.5L

--do you have something to make you not get wheel hop or are you saying you just dont have any??

we'll see how super awesome my driving is soon tho i have suspension and an intake i'm still callin it stock =]

 

Eh Kyle - serving in the military earns you some free money, rest of us are too chicken shit to even think about it.... Rather give the men and women of the military money then some woman that popped 8 kids for some welfare checks.....

 

o0o my link got ate

haha yes or felons almost everyone i was going to school with had just gotten out of prison and were going for free - yet i got no financial aid weak sauce

 

I dont have wheel hop because the torque converter only lets you rev to 2k when standing on the brakes, heavy chrome wheels, and i load up the back end damper to keep weight transfer from unloading the front wheels.

I know you dont have a EDFC option for your suspension so that may be a bit harder for you to do if you went with that setup.


So i shouldnt have a sex change to pop out a bajjilion kids?

 

 

Kyle, your TL a 5AT? I thought you'd do much better than 14.8 with those mods - isn't that what a 5AT runs stock?

 

load up the back end damper? you mean set it stiff?

don't they make a torque damper for our car? that was great for my TC

 

but thats pro driver times - who really runs those?

although my friend with an S2K ran better than pro driver with just diff tires lol

 

Stock 5at normally runs about 15.5 e/t.

Everyone has to remember the water that is in the air at PIR, i mean you can basically spit into the river from the track, so its always humid down there.

Yea i stiffen it up some. If youre talking about a torque damper for the motor, then no. No one makes one, but i have seen a spoon damper fabbed up.

 

i learn my second trip down.. its not how fast you jump off the line its how fast you get down the track.. just cause you beat the other person doesnt mean your car is always faster.. just ment you had a better reaction time...

this year im still sticking to my 14.5 goal.. then ill be happy.. deep down i think the best ill do is a 14.9

 

Ah the hole shot wins are always fun...unless the person getting the hole shot win is the person next to you.

Take out them seats. Doesnt take long to take out, or put back in. Your recent pulley install wont hurt you either.

 

ya.. seats... what a drag.. haha.. ill have to go when i have less gas in the tank.. last time i had a half a tank need to be closer to 1/4 or have the yellow light on =)

 

mine are full stiff - but whats the KG rating for Tein? was the spoon one here on the forums somewhere?

i really think the search function hates me. ive been tryin to find the guy who supposely has a 3.5 s/c??

 

^^Tein SS 12/6 F/R

 

Full stiff may actually hurt you. Because if you do get wheel hop, it wont stop.

Here is the link to the 3.5L Super Charger.

And PM ACCURATEin about how he installed the Engine Damper.

But here is a thread with a pic in it. You can see it on the passenger side of Strut Bar

i only run full stiff in the rear. i'm a few clicks softer in the front. i dont get wheel hop now really tho i've onlly launched my car a few times.

 

^^ you gotta beat your car up more often.. its a honda they like it.. its the mistress of our lives

 

haha i drive my car pretty hard trust me i'm just trying to not get more tickets til the old ones drop off lol

 

I forget, you have 6mt or 5at?

Tell me about it, my big ticket in washington just got dropped in december!!1

 

off topic...

just got H8 3000k hid fogs and they aren't much yellow as what i've imagined.
its more white/bluish with slight hint of yellow.

and finally expensive jdm part will be here next week

 

??jdm part - is this a secret or did i miss what it is?

5AT doesnt leave much for launching lol
ugh i wish i had a 6MT but i guess paddle shifters do. and actually i'm more likely to get me in trouble lol

my ins still doesn't know bout one of my tickets *knocks on wood* i cant image my ins if they did it would def be more than my payment

 

i get 2 tickets off in april and my last one will be in sept.. then ill be clean.. cant wait i got in to way to much trouble with my old civic hahaha

 

lets see 5 years ago here was my record:

85 in a 40 street racing/reckless driving
45 in a 35
71 in a 55
2 license suspensions
1 driving while suspended
windows too dark
wrong color turn signals
too low
headlights to blue
exhaust too loud
DEQ tags not visible

Now finally after 5 years I was able to get off of high risk! feels good. lol

 

^^^ 5 years ago i wasn't even driving a car lmao

i bet that insurance was bout as bad as dan's from SC.
