i get spinning wheels, never dragged before
but the car made it! i did like 10 runs
it was more of a test to see if the ka would blow... its my first time really putting pressure on it
not bad for 15 bux all night and its a mile away
i beat a few accords and civics i felt good.
i got owned by a 5.0 mustang though
im number 57
haha when i first read that i thought it was 1/4 mile in 10 seconds. iwas like holy shit that car is QUICK!
not too bad tho.
my 20e ran a 12.3 so your not slow!
Bart put down lots of time at the dragstrip, so you might ask him stuffs.
ArroBart put down lots of time at the dragstrip, so you might ask him stuffs.i should
anyone wanna do a rough estimate of what that would do in a 1/4 mile?
Edit: A shitty online calculator says this.
Your ET computed from your vehicle ET of 10.182 seconds is 15.88 seconds in Quarter Mile.
i hand timed my ca20e at like 18-19 seconds so thats awesome lol
i know i can go faster.... my first time ever drag racing.. with no tach
yeah dude, work on that 60' and 330' and you'll be running low 15 high 14 quarter mile times.
I dont know shit about 1/8th mile times, I dont see them often enough to know whats good or bad.
is that ka a single or dual cam??? 10 isn't bad at all for a n/a motor... I think i was doing mid to low 9's with a stock dual cam turbo so your only a little bit behind.

Definitely work on 60 ft time and learn how to feather your clutch for launch.
yea i shall, next wensday ill post up my new times to see if i can improve
Not too bad, my shitty 1/8 pass was 9.1xx... Really bad 60ft and RT, the track was like driving on water.
I'd like to hit really high 12's this year, but I don't think that's going to happen on 205 street tires.
why do you need a tach? just bounce it off the limter
ragewhy do you need a tach? just bounce it off the limterthe car cuts, and then i cant drive for like 3seconds
i wonder how that would calculate to 1/4 mile times?
seat time will make better, but ill bet it could benifit from 8-9in wide wheels and tires, and some flat sticky tires
wait, how are you spinning tires with a welded? stock n/a ka24e + welded = no spinning
frosti108wait, how are you spinning tires with a welded? stock n/a ka24e + welded = no spinningA welded diff just means both axles are receiving power, it doesnt keep tires from spinning.

they must not prep the track what so ever. drag strip is supposed to be much stickier than the street. like if i try to launch my streetbike on the street, it just spins. if i launch it on the strip, it will try to flip backwards before it spins
dont feel bad david b. when i went to the 1/8 mile i got matched up against a 700hp evo lol. then a riced out sunfire, bodykit and all on it painted dash.... figured i could beat an atx pos nope 100 shot of nitrous lol
i'm gonna say somewhere in the 16's in the quarter mile based on your readings.
definately need to work on the launch tho. Gettin your 60' time around 2.2 is something to aim for..and uh..need to work on the hand/eye/foot coordination, the R/T is a bit off.
Finding the launch RPM is a Trick. My vg was good at around 2200 rpm. anything higher, and it would light the tires up (even with trackbite!!), anything lower, and it would bog out (due to the crappy running at the time).
Wheel Hop was TERRIBLE for me. bang bang bang.
Good luck man. practice the launches.
