I went to englishtown NJ yesterday.

Only thing is I ran with my 19's ( long story) ..... So im not sure if my number are good or not ..... I think i would have hit 13s with regular rims... o well
I had some serious launching issues ....Couldnt get the tires to hook, then finally when they did I got such bad wheel hop my wipers kept going on and i had to ease off a bit....sucked... But im happy with my numbers.


r/t____.33
60'____2.326
330___6.161
1/8____9.311
mph___78.33
1000___12.010
1/4____14.300
MPH___98.67

Ill post the video up later

(also the 19s are now for sale withtires, gona post link to that later)

 

damn u went all the way to englishtown? from CT?
are there no tracks in CT?

 

nope.... i think lebonon is a few minutes closer to us but i hear the track isnt as good.

 

When did you get a 2k2?

 

ehh about as year ago.... there a few ppl on here with a similar name...


im the original tho

 

are you spraying?

 

13's will not be a problem with a wheel and tire change at the very less change the front wheels and tires when you hit the track

 

man that was a fast run ! agreed with the right tyres you could be in 13's even if you could knock your 60 ft down into the 2.1x range you would be awefully close !! nice run !

 

The plan was to use my friends nitto drag radials mounted on eclipse rims, but last minute his car wasnt running well at all and he didnt go.

So i ended up just running with these.

 

Your 60' is hurting you. It takes LOT'S of practice to launch. I usually come out of the hole at about 2800 rpm's and "feather" the clutch until I feel traction. I've able to get consistant high 2.1x or low 2.2x. I set the front pressure to 22lbs on my stock 18's.

Few questions...

Do you know how much do your rims weigh?
What was the weather like the day you ran?
Did you let the car cool off before your runs?

 

Nice to see a lot of people getting out this summer

Yep, lighter, smaller wheels will help for sure... that's a 13 sec car properly set up and launched.

 

your 60ft is garbage youd be set getting that better....also, lebanon is alot closer man. i run there a lot. i like it...plus no traffic heading up there unlike e-town.

 

I gotta figure out how to eliminate the wheel hop to, cause it was so bad my wipers were turning on.

I was launching at about 2500, and the car would just hop like crazy and I had to let off. Realy felt like my dash was gona fall apart...

I didnt drop any tire pressure cause the 19s are on rubber bands as it is...


Xjinct , is lenanon a nice track? I think im gona head up there soon and use my firends rim and tire combo..

 

Man that is the way my car does, it either bogs or wheel hops like crazy...my windshield wipers came on and my mirror fell of the windshield...lol I am only getting 2.4 60' times, I hope it's not just me and these cars are actually hard to launch.

 

lol the 5.5's get wheel hop worse then me. I think my worst was knocking out my fuse panel cover, popping open my change drawer, knocking my ipod from my cup holder onto my seat and knocking my phone out of my little pocket by the window controls. all that at once..i spun the wheels going up a hill taking and i hit a pot hole and BAM ive never gotten it that bad before. since then ive got a new tranny lol.

Nice times though, especially with the 19's. My freind couldnt lower his tire pressure on his 18's(vw jetta gli), hes running 225/40/18 and he was scared hed break the bead, there so little to begin with.

 

Do you think some traction bars would help alot with your wheel hop?

 

I'd try to drop the front tire pressure, that's what I do to lessen wheelhop. Also just don't launch that way. If your technique is giving you wheelhop, you've got to change techniques or you are going to break something. If you want to put parts on your car to try to help it then look at poly motor mounts, poly LCA bushings, traction bars, etc. Or just get slicks and you shouldn't have to worry about it and you'll be quicker too.

 

Lower tire pressure like what they said... It definitely does help with the wheel hop.

I can't give too much advice cause the best 60' I've had was a 2.2, and that was only one time when I was running completely stock! Damn these cheap all season brands!!!! Hate them all!

The maxima is actually pretty easy to launch imo.

Nice to see what kind of times the TSM maxima is running. Seen many many vids but finally a track time to go with it. Nice.

 

what's that?

 

your mph is not good at all with the mods you have my friend......
love your vids.........

 

I believe it means "top speed motorsports." Youtube and some on streetfire.

 

nice to see you run at a track good luck man... and get those eclipse tires on i am going to the track next wed for the first time since i changed to my new tires and new rims... o and also my new springs H&R's ...

My new rims are much lighter than stock...

Stock 52 lbs w/ tire...

New.... 42 lbs w/ tires...

best case would be a 13.9xx for me... that would be f'ing great 14. 2 right now is my best..

I know once i get my phoeniolc spacer kit and the new cattman y pipe... i hope to be around a 13.7 or better... ONLY HOPES AND DREAMS THOUGH haah

anyway i will keep you all posted... WOO HOOOO NEXT WED !!!!!!!

 

pull a 1.9-2.0 60' and youre good for a 13sec run
