I ran 3 times. it is an 1/8th mile track. here are my results..

>>1st run was against a automatic 94 accord sedan with CAI, header, exhaust, and a lil more ****. i beat him.

my reaction time was: .73
my 60 ft time was: 2.707
my ET was: 10.77 @ 65.98 MPH.

his reaction time was: 1.121
his 60 ft time was: 2.59
his ET was: 10.881 @ 66.17 MPH


>>2nd run was against a 2000 ford focus. i never talked to the guy, but he had an exhaust from what i can see. who knows what else he had. i beat him too.

my reaction time was: .776
my 60 ft time was: 2.623
my ET was: 10.864 @ 65.21 MPH

his reaction time was: .69
his 60 ft time was: 2.78
his ET was: 11.093 @ 66.47 MPH


>>3rd run was against a 1997 civic dx coupe with a b16 swap with an exhaust. he beat me.

my reaction time was: .781
my 60 ft time was: 2.656
my ET was: 10.916 @ 65.79 MPH

his reaction time was: .819
his 60 ft time was: 2.569
his ET was: 10.547 @ 65.78 MPH



i need to work on my damn reaction time. but ovrall im pretty satisfied. i mean i cant believe how close i was with that dx with the b16 swap. thats faster then an si since its lighter. so that means i am almost as fast as si's. :D

dude you gotta work HARD on those 60ft times.....IF you had a better 60 ft time you would have beaten all those cars.but for your first time out,not too shabby.....

"you owe me a 10 second car" looks like you got one there playa ;)

it's weird, I can relate all day to the 1/4 mile, but the 1/8th is wierd to me. still, you had fun, your 60' dropped from the first run, so you corrected something wrong, you almost took a 1/10th off from the first run to the other two.

but like spooled said, get that 60' time down, and you'll do a lot better at the other end of the track. I know in the 1/4, every 1/10th off the 60' time is a big difference at the end of the 1/4.

so what would that be in the 1/4 about???

heheh not to be an ass, but all that work into your car and you still cant even beat a Si, but all i had was a cat back, a welfare intake, and a 55 shot eheheh also heavy ass 17's...

im not being rude but i was just saying!

time for a swap id say...

nice times! :cool:

Times sound good. How about the 1/4 mile times? Then we could all see accurately what u have accomplished with your mods!

just work more on the 60 foot times. A good 60 foot for street tires is around 2.0 or a little higher.

just take your car out and practice launches and then go back to the track.

good runs man.

Well I think 2.0 is a lil too low,but if you can muster a 2.3-2.4 then you'll be in good shape.Once you get suspension and some sticky tires then you can flirt wiht 2.0's

yeah, 2.0's for a FWD would be low, when conspiracysi ran the 14.0 @ 100mph his 60' time was 2.4 on the stock tires.

Not tryin to be an ass for once, but why is 2.0 such a good 60 ft. Is it harder for the fwd to hook, figured with all the weight on the front tires and how i hear about how hard they launch, figure it'd be down there, i had 2.0 60 ft's on firestone firehawks in a 4 door nova, but im just wondering, being serious.

Also have to remember that the weigth transfer goes front to rear,soooooo when you launch all your weight distribution goes to the rear of the car,taking less weight and less contact patch from the front of the car....

If you use the 1.571x(1/8th mile time) formula for quarter mile time, he achieved a 16.91s quarter mile. Not to bad... it is an improvement. Glad to hear you're modding and racing it at the track. More good luck with your launches =)

most fwd cars end up with around 60% of the weight up front, but once you go to accel, the weight shifts off the front, especially on a stock suspension. so a 2.0 ain't that great for a RWD, but it's pretty good on a FWD.

well... there is more physics in that then what you let off...

as the weight shifts (or the rear wheels assume weight from the car standing up... we're assuming RWD here, right?) to the rear wheels, you have the rotational inertia of the body along with the transverse motion, easily double energy need to move it along. let alone the objects which are already in rotation... therefore some parts of the body are experiencing two forms of rotational inertia, therefore making transverse motion even harder. now... simple idea here. for the TTA, a carbon fiber driveshaft takes 15 pounds off of it just sitting there, but using the stock TTA acceleration numbers, it effectively removes 90 lbs off the car in WOT (yet again, assuming stock TTA acceleration).

never forget physics, and physics will never forget you... or some stuff like that

to much tequila tonight, so the grammar and stuff is not even close to perfect, but the physics (basic understanding is)... mechanical engineering 101... literally.

i get mad wheel hop...either i launch between 2-4 rpm and get big wheel hop...or my tires just spin. the first time i ran i launched higher then 4 so i kinda just sat there spinning for a bit...thats why my 60ft time there was worse. the second and third...i wnet for the wheel hopping method :D

i just need to get my CAI/e/h, and my cam in and i will be straight until i can save the money for a swap

i also double clutched the second and third time...and that kinda slowed me down...so im goin back on december 6th, and i wont double clutch and try and get my launching down. im hopin to achieve low 10's MAYBE high 9's. i might get an exhaust and MAYBE header this week...and if i do...ill also put the cam in. so hopefully ill have cam, header, exhaust and maybe CAI by december 6th :D and if i do have everything in, my goal is to run in the 8's which would give me a high 14 / low 15 quarter time :D

good idea... specifically since the sequencers have been upgraded at least once since the 60s. double-clutching is no longer required unless you're using a bone-stock 60s transmission, which i highly doubt. thats one dumb thing i always here people talk about... stupid FATF movie... and manifold pressure? wtf?! he should have been more worried about the darn combustion chamber pressure. oh well, at least i didn't eat the worm, muhahahaha =) time to go pass out now... oh yea... key to typing drunk: type SLOW

Double clutch, sounds F&F to me. I don't see the point in double clutching at the dragstrip, maybe road racing, but not in a straight line

i really cant double cluch, im trying to learn, but its hard when your driving around in trafic. your right, its kinda stupid and pointless if you have a car made in the last 50 years. but its fun to drive around steve mcqueen style and pretend your geting chased by a black 68 hemi charger :D

the only time I could maybe see double-clutching is if you're about to run someone from a roll, other than that, kinda pointless.

lol oh yeah...forgot about the FWD thing. I'd be super happy with that 60 foot in my car. But I am looking at probably around 2.2ish on my tires. My car is such a bitch to launch, seeing as my power is through my turbos, I either bog or spin the tires or get some nice wheel hop even with my toe links and trailing arms. I've only really had a few good launches where all you hear is a chirp from the tires. Its usually spinning/little wheel hop, granted its tight as hell but doesn't get me anywhere.
although I can launch wreckless's car pretty good :D
