just made my first ever run on a track was pretty exciting

has anyone seen the movie fast and the furious well duh almost everyone seen it

well i did the exact same thing went right past the light to line up haha made an *** outta myself well before that i just lined up didnt wanna do a melt down cause i only got stock tires well i guess i learned from watching my bro got up to the line and waited seemed like an eternity till the other guy lined up well i got there and zoom went haha i taught i was going fast but haha i ended up going 16.57@89mph not bad my reaction time was terrible though 1.709 haha guess i fell asleep haha but then my second run was pretty decent got a very good reaction time .667 got down there at 16.49@91mph then we got into bracket racing and guess what redlighted on the first run haha o wells made couple more passes of time trial but the fastest was the 16.49 well pretty good for my first time id say

well peace out,
Daren

 

what model?

 

90 gxe with some aftermarket crap

 

what mods you got? good times for the good 'ole auto VG!

 

Is it me or is this the fastest (talking about the mph) GXE ever built. The 16.5 sounds right, but the 90-91mph is WAY off. You sure it wasn't 80-81mph? That would make a lot more sense. Hitting 90-91mph trap speeds means this car is capable of 14s. There must be something wrong with the trap speed boxes because running a 16.5@91 would mean you're spinning your tires almost half way down the track. I really doubt that the case with a 160hp auto.

my best MPH was a 81-82 when I ran my 16.7(91 GXE) a few months back with an intake, 91mph is way off. I think Czar(VE 5spd) is in the 90's and running a 14.8, so 90mph in a 16 second GXE is kinda strange...

 

got 92 mph on his 14.8 run (gutted interior)
my 14.6 was at 94.6 mph
my stock 15.7 run was at 89 mph (horrible 60')

 

I need to drive you guy's cars : )

Any NW guys have a G-Tech yet? We could make a SouthCenter SIR hehe.

 

and a gtech would definetly be a plus
you have AIM/ICQ jeff????

 

No not really. Just email or PM me. What's up?

 

j/k, its just that the forums and email usually suck for back and forth conversations. you should get some sort of IM proggie. I suggest trillian myself, it allows me to combine ICQ/AIM/MSN/ and yahoo messengers + IRC chatting as well.

 

At work, there is a program download policy so none of that stuff.

Question: how do you like the cold air intake in the summer now? My question is after driving around, is the tubing still cold? I remember touching that SER's cold air tubing and it was cold to the touch! Impressive. With my JWT cone, the maf and cone are on the warm side when I touch it(ie.. when stopped to get gas etc. )

 

Well when I feel the outside of the tubing it is actually quite warm still... but not hot. I suppose this is heat soak rearing its ugly head, the lower part of the pipe is a bit cooler as well of course.

 

Use AIM Express. It runs of the net so they'll never know. Nothing to download and its easy to use.

 

yea im sure i got my time slip right here if i can find someone with a scanner ill get it in but yes im sure it could be the chickens at the track messed it up agian i know cause my bro once ran a 13.7@49mph and yeah it was chickens

 

I'm heated I ran a 16.9 CONSISTENTLY tonight at moroso and the first run I had a r/t of .526 and ran a 16.9 at 81mph I don't see how that is possible when I ran a 16.6 at 80mph and then i ran a 16.9 going 79mph I just don't get it with the mods that I have I should be running way better than that. the weirdest thing is I ran at the track the night I got the y pipe put on and beat my best and ran a 16.5 but now the car is running damn near stock!!!!!!!! sorry guys I just had to vent. but on the lighter side the NOS should be here fairly quickly and I'm damn sure going to order my CAI tommorow. i can't think of anything else to do except run out a buy an acura integra GSR.

 

From what I seen a "well driven" auto VG should pull between 79-81mph traps and ET's around 16.7-17.2. Hell at the track while my car was running 17.0's at 79mph with 2.4x 60fts, a bone stock GXE ran 16.88 at 81mph with a 2.5 60ft. All he did was remove the air filter and probably spare tire/jack. If he was able to launch harder, there is no doubt he could pull a 16.6 or 16.5. The trick to getting quick ET's is to cool the motor and great launches. I just leave my car off and push it till I get to the lanes. Ideally you want the temp gauge below went the thermostat opens (below 190 degrees) but hotter than 145*F so the trans will shift smoothly. BTW my 87 max with just intake, exhaust and UDP ran a 16.312 at 80.86. I almost hit my 6500rpm rev limiter in 2nd gear because I wasn't paying attention. My previous run was 16.357 at 82.25 wiht a 2.34 60ft.

 

chickens??

 

yeah chickens the things that go cluck cluck we have them on this island its like squirrels tripping the lights up tehre i guess id ont know

 

I decided to give the track another shot and alas I was disapointed again. This friday I ran 16.8's consistently and I just don't get it. this is the time slip:
r/t.713
60' 2.463
330' 7.023
1/8' 10.804
mph 65.58
1000 14.045
1/4 16.800
mph 82.04

I don't know about anyone else but I definetly see improvement because I used to consistently come out of the quarter at 79mph and I would hit 80 once in a blue moon and I would run 16.7's all day, but since my recent addition I managed to run a 16.5 the very first night I had it and that was when I drove it from the muffler place to the track and that's only about 60miles but once the pipe was supposedly broken in I've gained trap speed but lost 1/4 mile time I'm not running an oem muffler but the muffler isn't straight through and I have the stock piping in. I know I'm getting a new muffler and I was going to look into getting my pipe widened to 2.5". by any chance does anyone else have any input or ideas?
