now maybe we can put the M3 and the V6 Accord hype to rest.
There were 4 BMW M3 that were running 2 new ones and 2 old school m3. The best times any of them ran were a 14.9 and the other ran a 15.2, Now if I am correct the guy with the 2K gxe ran a 14.8 with just a intake. There were a couple of v6 accords 1 with some big A$$ dual exhaust but they all were running in the 16s. In my Eyes that is beatable by a maxima. (Any input is welcome)

 

yeah the accord is slo..no doubt. my bro have one. if i get my hands on that baby the HKS turbo kit is going in!!
then we'll see who's slow then..muwhaaaaaa
Dan

 

Jose, it was nice meeting ya, too bad we couldnt find ya and take pics together. Saem with you ant! There were 3 98-2k Accords running. 2 Sedans and 1 Coupe. The 2 sedans ran 16.5's all day. The Coupe (4cyc Stick) Was running i think 17's! Jose, you car is looking sweet.

 

hang out. I didn't even get a chance to show off my new Booty video.

 

All it proves is that the M3 drivers couldn't drag. You give their M3's to Jeff K. for few months to play with, I am positive he will pull of a 14.2 in it.

 

Dang, where was everybody? JeffO and I wandered around for awhile and only saw one group of guys with Neel, Confused and a few other folks that I didn't know.

We also ran into Ant95se for a second...

Next time we need to try and designate a meeting hang-out place so that we can all hook up even if we get there at different times.

..

 

0-130.. It was close(about 2 car lengths) the entire way.

 

 

last yr (or was that the yr b4) HKS did a turbo kit.
u getting confused w/ your car doug?
Dan

 

Of course, never disagreed with that.
and also proves, while driver skill being equal, a faster car is still faster

 

Agree with the 1st part, but I reserve my rights to doubt roadkills.
For example if you roadkilled a Viper, I will give you the benifit of doubt once(cuz **** happens you know?). But if you post 7 Viper kills in a month, then I will not believe anymore

 

Thanks Chris...

Jeff K. "The Hired Gun", if you need a driver for the 1/4 mile look no further. Jeff will better the 1/4 time produced by all major car magazines, available for Wednesday night racing since I don't have a car to race.
LOL!!!

 

yeah and adam is a FAT *** (~ 320 lbs right?? ). so that just says how bad all the other racers really are...

 

Hey JeffK, I might take you up on that...seriously...but not until I get me a VB upgrade! I hope you don't mind racing an auto (see sig).

Jim

 

sorry but that's all I know.

I have had no prior experience with the automatics so I wouldn't know how to launch it.

 

let me get you a better picture of the new ride. GotRice took some pictures and I need to re-size them for posting.

I will sent everything to you later this week.

JJW: I would be very careful with a automatic at the track because the trans will not hold for long due to the grip of the drag track and the power that the supercharger will put out. I would think twice about tracking your car.

 

and only been on the board 5 mins...jeeez.
geoff's slo-vic runs 19.90@58mph ...
hahaha...j/k he runs mid 12's.

 

Muhahah
hey, we might be able to commercialize this.
there must be alot rich dudes out there that can't drive, so, first we have to get jim W. to roadkill their Ferrari's/Porsche's, to upset them Then I will offer serivce to them that we can provide them excellent time slip to brag about, I am positive they will bite due to me great talking skill Then Jeff K. comes to play, blasting down the track with those F360 and 911TT in 12sec and change
lastly, we take pictures with the owner holding timeslip next to their car at the track with grin on their face. then we are done. $300 a pop, one bill each for me, jeff and him
Sounds like a plan huh??

 

if there is actually a way to do so, lemme know

 

Another selling point is that besides the skillz, I'm 6'2" and weight 150lbs. So it's like hiring a pro jockey, light weight with cat like reflexes. LOL!

I'm stopping know...I can only images this growing to 6 pages of BS.

 

Even w/ VB and other upgrades?

Jim

i wasnt there yesterday as Im at school at ASU and my civic has no engine in it =) but it went 12.28. I figured now was a good time to put some pistons and rods in it before anything else happened...

The auto is strong, but not strong enough. If the tranny were rebuilt, I would say go for it, but since it's already got some miles on it, with a S/C, I would avoid the track.

heheh yeah but who gave YOUR civic life, and who took their engine out because it blew?? ahhh haaaa =)

jfwy

yeah im having fun on this board. i was drunk last night and being an ***. look at the shift boot thread. When are you getting your chrome side molding adam? IF you get a chance can you pick me up some chrome fender flares for my civic? thanks

 

I'll race automagic's ...

Ant

 

I think you can use QuickKeys to do it!

 

Straight up! I'm not the only Linux freak on here?

 

Let me take it out for a spin =) I'll rip out .509 RTs all night long. Heck, I'll even do a 40 second burnout if he lets me I'll have the Mavica on hand to record an MPEG..

For the guys that drive five speeds.. ever jump in an automatic, put the key in, turn it to on, use your left foot do put the disengage the clutch only to find out there's no clutch pedal? LOL I do it all the time

 

Alllrightythen...I'll just add a full L10 service to the wish list. That'll do 'er!

Jim

 

A GUY ON SPEEDMAGAZINE.COM SAID THAT A TYPE R RAN A 13.9 1/4 ALL DAY WITH JUST BOLT ON'S ,DID ANYBODY SEE THAT?

 

Being an owner for a V6 Accord I feel I can speak on their behalf. When my car was stock I ran a best time of 16.21 at the track in low to mid 80 degree temperatures.


After adding only a AEM short ram intake, and low 60 degree temperatures I ran a 15.52 (I also removed my sub box, spare tire and tire jack) Without the weight reduction my best time was a 15.62


The car does not make the 1/4 mile time but the driver does!
Just because you see ANY car running a crappy 1/4 time doesn't mean that CAR is slow, but that driver is unskilled in driving his or her car.

I realize that an automatic V6 Accord is never going to compete with a 5 speed Maxima, but you have to honest and admit that the auto Maxima vs the auto V6 Accord is a pretty even matchup.

Also, HKS canned the turbo project claiming a "weak" transmission but the funny thing is the first magazine that tested the project car never had a problem with it. It is rumored that some of the other magazine testers had fun neutral dropping the tranny which is why they probably had to keep replacing it. The good news for us is that CompTech is currently doing R&D for an Accord V6 super charge and from the sounds of itm should be similiar in design to the one they developed for the NSX. (Did you know the Accord V6 and NSX share a very similiar engine block? NSX = DOHC, Accord = SOHC) The SC is going to be a manifold replacement which should be better for power output than a super charger that has to cram its air through the stock intake manifold.

I'm not hear to dis Maximas, stir up crap, or start a flame war... just to shed a little light and encourage respect for all cars.

P.S. My stupid ISP has been having problems with their web page server so the time slips might show as a broken link occasionally.

 

Yes, the V6 accord are a good condenter against the maxima in suto form. Hell.. i was looking at Accords before i picked up my new maxima. Accords do get my respect but i still ove the maixmas more.

WOOOOOHOOOOO!! Time to do some serious shopping.

 

I've seen tons of V6 Accords running at the track. I've only seen 2 go faster than 16.0. Most run 16.1 to 16.4 w/ the basic bolt ons. The one dude averages 15.7-15.8. There's another black one that runs 14.5.... two guys that are building it up are Honda engineers.. go figure LOL

 

Heh. Gotta feel for those guys, though. I mean, they were probably in some design meeting clamouring to make some mods standard on the car, only to get smacked down by managers and bean counters.

 

HEY MY 4DSC I HAD TO LEAVE BEFORE YOU RAN ,WHAT CARS DID YOU LINE UP WITH ?

Well I'm sorry to say that your experiences with modded V6 Accords is not the norm. I've shown you the time slips for my car, both stock (16.21) and with an intake(15.52). Is the track go to at a high elevation? The three tracks I have been to (Eunice, LA;Houston, TX;Baton Rouge, LA) are all b/w 5 and 50ft above sea level.

Another Accord V6 member at a Honda message board ran a 15.1 with i/h/e on his car and he actually raced against the black Accord you are referring to, which ran a 14.1 with some rather interesting mods put together from parts that are used on the Acura CL-S. (I can get a link to the timeslip if you would like)

I don't dis on Maximas and as a result of coming to this message board and seeing a number of 5th gen Maxima 5spd's run b/w 14.9 and 15.1 while still stock, now have a great amount of respect your cars! I realize there are always people on each side that talk a bunch of ****, but please don't judge everyone by the way some people may act. Nismo87se hangs out on our message board all the time and I have never seen him put down Accords or other cars in any way, and he has actually provided us with helpful information about the Hayden tranny coolers.

geez, don't take it personal bro. I'm just stating the facts here, I'm not making any inferences to the driver or the car. I post what I see. I'm not saying that your full of **** and they can't run faster than what I see, I'm stating that the vast majority aren't running what others think they can run. I've logged more track time than probably all the guys here on the forum combined.
