My friend and I ran down to Gilliam La last weekend to see how we've come.. we were both stock the last time we went.. he has a 2002 civic ex stock i ran a 15.7 and he ran stock a 16.9.
i haven't got alot done, i just have cat back and a gutted cat now but the best i could pull off as of now was a 16.2
even weirder he now has intake headers and cat back and he ran 18s
wtf =[

Most 18 year olds don't know how to
yet, so don't be upset.

Was it really hot and/or humid? That can kill performance...

Sounds like you are
I went 15.69/88 on kumos in 93 degree humid weather
The start felt like I was on ice
Two suped neons [sr4] were running 14.5/14.6 they were stage two I think [usually run 13's]
A 350z [unknown mods] on drag radials went 14.6
My friends small block? On n2o in a 70's chevelle [has run 12.5, usually 12.8's] 13.3 this night
it had also rained,
track was slippery ,as well as my tires
point of the story
on another drier cooler track day you could run .2-.5 sec faster

For the hell of it and checking out the hop aids
I wound it up to 4500 and let'er rip
And it still went 15.9/86 lol
That was smoking thru third
How did you get 18's?
We could have a slow race for continually spinning sentras
Could be an Olympic event lol

You started in 5th? O.o

Online







well, i attempted the other 4 gears first... and they didn't wanna grab because 300whp + a flywheel that's hanging off = things just not working. so i finally did the majority of hte run in 5th!

maybe this will make you feel
better yet
everybody has a bad day
or meets a horrible track, worse yet ,on a bad day
the car in the left lane in the following time slip
is a GTO, that would if i met him at atl dragway
turn 12.8s
his car ran fine
he is a very experienced driver note his rt
it was just drag racing on marbles on a motorcross track
he was helping me develop our new olympic event
the drifting drags
he was sideways at the end of the track and still doing 76mph
we both had kumo ast's
