well i know most will clown me, but it's ok i have a 5th gen 3.0 auto and my first time running at the track with this car
R/T... .534
60'... 2.292
330.. 000
1/8... 9.860
mph.. 73.02
1000. 12.720
1/4... 15.166
mph... 92.20
my mods- ebay CAI, greddy evo 2 catback
cons- tranny of coarse, my tranny drags 1st to second, bounces of the rev limiter (automatically miss shifts) before going to second
now i know those are terribly slow times but i was expecting 15.5-7's but the quarter mile sticky should now have 15.1 with mod or two, change thank you...
for an auto, it's good to know i can break 14's with the no ECU option

 

ANy reason you dont have a y-pipe yet?

 

those times are not really that bad, alittle weight reduction and you should be able to break into the 14's

 

saving for tork rims, and im actually getting headers

 

thanks man, any recommendations as a good start to weight reduction??? ( i was thinking CF hood

 

strip seats out, misc interior parts..


But those are good times man...Are you running on the 16s or 17s?

 

^^^ SE 17's

 

A 15.1 is not bad at all for a 5th gen 3.0 auto. Do you do any weigh reduction at the track? Also, what tires are you on?

 

no weight reduction whatsoever im on the baldess potenza's ever lol
EDIT: really all i did was me and my buddy installed the CAI and catback, and like 3 months later i ran the car

 

spare tire, jack, rear and passanger seat this adds up to around 100lbs or so

 

^^^ had ever last thing you've mention in the car, so with those out i should do 14.8's best.
EDIT: im planning on going fully gutted with only me driver seat and engine in the car but im too lazy lol

 

Nice time!. My buddy has a 00 Maxi SE with Injen Intake/Greddy Evo but he also has the stillen y-pipe and that made a nice difference. Get the y-pipe!

 

^^^ has he ever ran it??? what times? i know y-pipe makes a diff. but im paying the extra for full header setup (cali spec FTL)

 

You getting ebay headers?

 

^^^ yeah probebly obx

 

He did run it at SIR in Tucson. The high elevation here he runs low 16's. At sea level he would be much faster. The y-pipe gave better gains than the exhaust did or so it seems.

 

^^^ it does give more gains than the exhaust, i had it in my 4th gen

 

congrats man, get your headers and see 14s

 

^^^ thanks cant wait, i will definately keep yall posted

 

True, but in a street car, you should run it just like it is on the street with a full interior, IMO. Taking extra stuff like the spare, tools, ect out is fine but I've never understood chasing another 10th by gutting the interior, then having to put it all back together.

Always cracks me up to see some kid in a Civic with a fart can remove the back seat, passenger seat and even door panels and still run a 17.

 

yeah, i do somewhat agree about running street trim, cuz thats how fast your car is everyday ya know. although if i knew i was that close to a personal best you better believe somethings coming out of my car! the only thing i remove is my speaker box and thats only because it slides to the rear and pulls the amp and all the wires, etc.

 

^^^ well i mostly run with everything in, due to my lazyness, my adrenalin has to be pumping to see a personal best for me to do all that work lol but i do from time to time................... (wonder why they havent changed the sticky yet about 5th gens???)
