my new 1/4 time - Honda Prelude Forum

Rick Bailey · 10-04-2003, 07:55 AM

well i dont know how i pulled this one off but i went to atco lastnight and ran a time i never thought i could.

my first run i finnaly ran a 14.984@ 93.49 mph and it was 47 degrees i was soo happy cause ive been running 15.1's and couldnt get lower. my 60' were like 2.3 for a long time and couldnt get into the 2.2s like i used to.

so after a few run i got a few more 14.9 but i new i could get a 14.9 flat cause of my 60' foot. then the last run of the night, i think i got 5 runs. thats when the magic happend.

i pulled off 14.772!!! i **** myself when i saw it and beat a 5.slow while i was at it, accully beat him 2 runs in a row.

heres my times

60'.......2.278
330.....6.324
1/8......9.599
MPH....74.94
990..12.326
1/4.....14.772
MPH....94.27

I know i can get it faster since ive had gotten lower 60' in the past.

MOds:
apexi n1 catback
aem short ram(i took out my custom cold air which had a bigger ID but had to many cuts in the piping. ill never go back to it now. also got the pollished sr new for 90 bucks so it was all worth it)

as far as i know, thats pretty damn quick, but yes you can get half a second to a second quicker if you drop the 60ft time.

Geez... that's pretty damn good... I want times like that. I don't think it's gonna happen soon though

Half a second to a second quicker is a lot to ask for when he's already getting 2.2 60 foot's. Doing better than that requires mucho skill (more than I have!) and probably some slicks! Even if you get a 2.0 60', don't plan on dropping a second. Maybe 3-4 tenths...

Yea dude nice times reminds me of my 14.5 @95mph time with just i/e pullies and test pipe. with 2.2s too in the past. I blame it on the weather. And i ran it with my 17inch volks.
