well i finally gotmy 2ndchance to run at the track . learned something neweach run. 1rst run i ran a 16.001 wich slower then my previos visit there.2nd run i ran a 15.550 with a .900 r/t . bad launch but e/t was better. b4 my third one some told me i was running to much psi in my front tires (40psi) so i lowered them to 20 psi.i ran a 15.313 @ 90.99 with r/t of .598 wich was my best time so far. last run i f***ed my shift into 5th and coasted a 16.01 and was eliminated[:@]. This was done in the civic by the way. by the end of the night i added a 07? monte carlo and svt focus to my kill list and able hold my own witha chevelle ( i think) lol some im happy
ive gathered som info of what ive learned tonight to help u guys out on ur first time. And hopefully u guys can add to it.
Lower tire to about 20psi or no lower then 15psi
If u have street tires dont do a burnout and skip the water box.
Go on the last yellow light, if u wait for the green u'll end up with a slower reaction time ( i think)
Theres something called preloading the suspension. its when u pull up onthe e-brake and slowly slip the clutch. u should feel it inguage wich would cause the car to "squat" in the back. its helps from keeping the weight from shifting to the back and puts less of a load on the transmission and axles.
anyone have any pointers they can add for my/other's nexttime on the track.

 

well nexth month ima take my neon to da track for my first time, man i cant wait

 

what are your 60' times.. R/T as noting to do with your overall time.

 

i cant find my first and last slip but my 2nd run was a 2.442 and 3rd was a 2.345. their not that good lol

 

your right... noting to brag about. lol just playing. They that ever tenth you take off the 60' it will take 2 tents off the 1/4 time. Food for thought.

Since we are on the topic of honda's... My buddy just put 313whp 228whp with 11psi on his stock B16. Tuned with hondata. some more food for thought.... lol

damn thats nice i have a couple of friends down here with monster civics. one has a 380whp semi built b16 running mid 11's. his car is a complete sleeper. the only thing that gives it away is a red coupler sticking out the bottom lol. The other is a fullybuilt450 whp gsr swappedcivicrunning 11 flats.
B16's can handle alot of power on a stock block if tuned so who knows, i might go that direction sooner then i thought.
The first civic is the sleeper the second onethe450whp.
