UZ 2 B AUTO · 03-02-2003, 09:19 PM

reaction 1.4 lol
60' 2.52 i think
1/8 10.252
1/4 15.66x
mph 90 or 92.xx

i left my slip in the car i will post for sure the correct times but to my knowledge that is accurate...i got to the track 20 min before closing so igot to run 1 time for free lol

the sun was hitting the tree i couldnt even tell when the stage lights were on. when i took off...not only did i get no wheel spin the car almost cut off

lol when i left all night i have been doing 'perfect' lauches on the backroads near my house practicing...its a little nervous on the track...that is also the first time i have ran the 1/4 mile.

time to update your sig

times aren't that bad...unless your car's modded significantly

UZ 2 B AUTO · 03-02-2003, 09:23 PM

i have aem cai, apexi n1 exhaust, fidanza flywheel, act hd-ss clutch. it felt so slow running down the track...i want 14.7 at least dammit lol time to install the pulleys in my room

the track is nothing like the street, unless you go to a concrete track

good first time, my first time i was getting 15.4s but by the end of the day i had a 14.90, its just a matter of practice, my freind who could drive the prelude better at the time actually got a 14.77 but i was beat for the day. just do what works best for you, sounds like you need to launch above 4k and slip the clutch a little. HA A CLUTCH USE IT!!!

If your traps are in the 90's you should be in the 14's. It's just going to take practice

Don't rely on mods.....vabeach_lude pulled a 14.6 with new tires and an Apex'i N1.

i drove thru wilmington this weekend to the cruise in at myrtle beach. so i 'should' be very capable of 14's huh.

Joon:
i have n1 too

lol...hopefully my launching will greatly improve...

good job for your first time.

oinkus · 03-04-2003, 08:11 PM

yup dont feel bad look at my post and u'll see i had problems too... with a best of 15.5@91.xxx mph with 2.4xx 60'......

anyways practice makes perfect and i'm going again this weekend....

14's here i come(hopefully)

brendon2k · 03-05-2003, 08:58 PM

2.5 60ft time is not too great. Pull a 2.2 and you will be much closer to 14's.

nuro · 03-05-2003, 09:00 PM

yeah dude. just need some practice, keep workin on it

Fast&furiuslude · 03-06-2003, 05:57 PM

2.1=14.6-14.7

LudedudeSi · 03-16-2003, 11:10 AM
