the other numbers belong to the other member he drives a r18 coupe

i think i could of done better...

give me some input thanks

pkkid · 03-20-2008, 11:09 PM

If the 16.409 was an si I was getting worried. You could have done better but it was your first time! Had fun right?

**ErichPryde** · 03-20-2008, 11:12 PM

What modifications did each car have? was the R18 a manual?

jackolee · 03-20-2008, 11:13 PM

hahaha hell yea i did hahaha... nervous at first... wasnt sure how to do it

no the 16.409 was a r18 lol.... he wanted to get his time on at 1/4 before he got his turbo

but i got the hang of it... i kept wheel hopping... =(
need better wheels... stock wheels just arent working for the drag...

jackolee · 03-20-2008, 11:26 PM

he said he thinks he can do better...

projectprelude · 03-20-2008, 11:44 PM

thats a crap time for the R18....i ran a 15.6 with I/E...never got to the track with the weapon r header tho...

06ggex · 03-20-2008, 11:45 PM

the r18 and k20 tq is real close, those numbers look good. yea the si could of did a little better but as long as you were having fun

06ggex · 03-20-2008, 11:47 PM

dont you have spray though?^^

projectprelude · 03-20-2008, 11:48 PM

I ran a 14.6 on spray without the bottle heater

06ggex · 03-20-2008, 11:55 PM

^nice, i was thinking spray was the way. but now procivics got a turbo kit out ive only got 800$ to go. stimulas package please hurry lol i want my check.

jackolee · 03-20-2008, 11:58 PM

lol... sorry it was my frist time... still getting use to it..

and my friend with the r18 got a turbo kit from procivic
getting it put on next month.... he expects at least 210 to the wheel.... (i think thats what he said)

ohh and the strip was all wet and greesy.... idk

Civic Pride · 03-21-2008, 12:03 AM

I was driving the R18, this was my first time to run the car in the 1/4 mile, things that did not help me where, the fact that i had more than half tank of gas left on the car and the SI only had like 1/4 tank left on him, am running regular gas to him running premium and also i have 18inch rims to his 17inch rims.. we both had the spare tire on the car..

I wll have had a video, but there was no one else with us to record us race..

If i do this am sure i can brake the 15's, take the spare off the car, lower the tire pressure on the front tires, to like 25psi, and race when i have less than 1/4 gas left, and powershift, am sure to see the 15's but i did not do all that this time..

And pojectprelude, all the tracks are different, just because you ran a 15.6 at your track does not means you will run a 15.6 on the track that i ran.

Civic Pride · 03-21-2008, 12:11 AM

I feel i can do alot better than that, but i will have to wait and see, i don't think i will be racing the car N/A again, since next time i go to memphis it will be to get my turbo install, and then after that i will run it again and see what my times will be.. I hope next time we go we take someone else just to record the races..

One time i beat him, but it was a foul from my side, i pass the line before he did and he still had a better time than me, his time was 16 flat to my 16.4 but i pass the 1/4 mile mark first.. how much time do they add to your time when you foul? because i think that was my best run and it should had been something like 15.9.

What really help the Si run was turning off his VSA or whatever the SI's have, because that knock more than half a second for him(he turn if off on his last fun, the one with the slip posted), am sure with more practice he can be on the high 14's.

jackolee · 03-21-2008, 12:14 AM

but then again my car is heavier since its a fa5

and i have 60 pound subs in the trunk...

but it was fun....alot of crazy cars too...

civic hatch with corvette motor
another hatch with a k20 boosted...

and much more

Civic Pride · 03-21-2008, 12:18 AM

True, but my times still suck, because my 1/8 mile time was a 10.5 and i have ran a 10.2 on the 1/8 mile track before.. so am sure i could have done better if we had stay there.

We did not stay there because to run we had to wait like 1 hour, we race 3 times in 3 hours, there was alot of cars there.

there was a civic hathback with a vett engine on it running 12.3 in the 1/4 and also another civic hatchback with a k20 turbo also running low 12's.

The worst part was the track, was wet and greesy, that din't help eather..

jackolee · 03-21-2008, 12:25 AM

yea... should of just gave me the spare... lol... i would still done good hahaah....

but next month your going to blow past me =(

Civic Pride · 03-21-2008, 12:30 AM

We both had fun and thats what matter

, and i will make sure to do things right with the turbo, like take the spare off, get my stock 16inch rims back on lol, and lower the tire pressure and also run 93 octane gas.. and maybe powershift.. but don't feel bad if i smoke you later, am sure your car with a turbo will walk me..

klk15 · 03-21-2008, 12:33 AM
