tips at the tracks - Honda Prelude Forum

Bluluded · 04-01-2004, 08:46 PM

my best time at the track was a 15.1. Are there any tips/tricks to lower my time to break the 14's? I have aem pulleys, k&n drop in filter, and goodyear f1 tires. I know lowering tire pres. improves traction. I also burnout b4 runs to heat up the tires. I lower my tire pres. to 26psi. Should I lowering it more? Will stiffening up the rear struts(tokico luminas) help? I'm going to the track tomm. and i need to break the 14's.
Sorry for all the q's, just need help.

1. lower tire pressure to 22lbs.......no less
2. set shocks to full hard in the rear and 1 or 2 in the front
3. launch high and slip the clutch a tad
4. take out passenger seat and other worthless things that lay around in the car
5. take off rear bumper if you really want a 14.
6.DO NOT DO A BURNOUT IN THE WATERBOX

go around the waterbox do a quick 4k clutch drop to dust the tires off and stage.

i was searching and looking at time slips of other ludes and everybody running 15.2 and under are getting 90 mph or higher traps. I rans 15.1 with a 88-89mph traps. Oh, and does everyone hit 3rd gear right before the end of the track? Cuz i do and my brothers rsx-s is in 2nd.
