ITRCA

I just got back from the track. I ran a 13.5 @ 103mph I pulled a 2.0 60' . Only thing I did was take my passanger seat out, darg raidals @ 13psi and jack/spear tire. Oh yeah no power steering either. Weather was ok but I'm in Louisiana and this track I go to sucks ass. I'm happy with my time over all. . I can't wait to turn my boost up dammit.

My boy ran a 12.4 @ 8psi in his LS-VTEC (fully built on race slicks) Civic SI. I'll post some video up really soon.

pretty nice Erik! What was your launching technique, and how was the wheel hop? Nice 60 foot.

Well my 1st and 2nd runs I dumped it and had very bad wheel hop (flash backs of locking my CV joints) so my 3rd run I didn't care about my reaction time and feathered the clutch from about 5.5 to 6k rpm. Wheels didn't even brake lose. Right once I was gone I knew this run would be nice. I don't think I could have lauched any better then I did tell you the truth and still cut a .556 light...

erik nice run.... you have more in the car man. try launching harder and feathering it out...... also try addin some air to your tires....I pulled a 2.0 60ft on DR's with 20 psi air in them....just make sure you heat them up a lot

ITR41 what was your ET when you pulled that 2.0 60'?

great times Erik... Congrats!

btw: your E/T has nothing to do with the overall run time you get. E/T's only matter in bracket racing.

Sorry I was talking about the light time sorry. I ment the over all time whatever its called. Thanks

My ET was 13.139@108mph my RT was .699. RT has nothin to do with the time you run. but even in heads up the RT can make the difference.

Everyone in my area is buying the jimfab traction bar and it seems to be cutting wheel hop like crazy.One guy in my area has a turbo b16 in a crx and ran on street tires at the track and wheel hoped like crazy then he got the jimfab and cut all the hop.I think they are around $300 and I believe the website is http://www.jimfab.com just incase anyone is interested it said on the site that it will cut on the 60ft time so that is pretty cool.I"m gonna try it out then I'll post it up later to let anyone interested know if it makes a difference on my setup

I use the Z10 setup and it absolutely eliminates wheel hop (I use drag radials, that also helps) They are a little more expensive though.

I'm intrested in this. Where does it mount? Is there any clearance issues? I really dont wanna fuck my CV joints or anything up again. I think I kinda messed them up again cuz the car vibrates under full boost. Not as bad as before but I think I feel it. I dont know might be tripping.

There is the main cross bar that mounts to your stock tow hook location (you have to unbolt the towhooks) Then there is one hole to drill in the front radiator core support crossmember to stabilize and anchor the center of the cross bar, then the strut rods bolts to the main crossbar and to each lower control arm. The strut rods are adjustable, you just loosen the nut, and with the car on level ground you twist one way for toe in and the other way for toe out. The best way is to do about 3 turns toe in for launches. For regular street driving, just adjust the rods so there is no preload at all, this will keep the car driveable on the street with no steering issues. I keep a very slight preload on mine on the street (toe in) and have absolutely no issues, you can't even tell the Z10 is there, other than ultra solid launches.

The only issue I have is that the driver's side strut rod touches my Moroso 5 quart oil pan under certain conditions. If you are running a stock pan, there is no clearance issue.

Just for reference, I was able to pull a 1.8 60foot a couple weeks ago, 15psi on the drag radials.

here is a link to get the Z10 stuff. I'm thinking of going with this
