What's The Fastest Car(s) You've Beaten ??

Off the line traction is most important. The best thing you can do to affect that is definately a good set of tires. My original Potenzas grab absolutely no traction. I am hitting the REV Limit way too early. If I let off the gas, I bog down in 2nd.

This is what happens when you really loose traction. The first launch was at 4K. The "Open" differential in a FWD sends more and more of the torque to one tire. In our case, the right. There are many factors, but simply put this way. The more power routed thru the tranny is going to bias more power being transfered to the right wheel; the less power, the more equally divided the power will be. This is proven by a 3K launch having both wheel spinning more equally. At some point, however in the higher RPM launch, the power will shift back towards the left wheel enough to sufficiently spin both tires.


I am not sure about the technical aspects of our differential. I want know till I crack my case for my LSD swap. I do believe that this indicative of most open-wheeled FWD manual transmissions. Rear-end open axles tend to operate differently by apply the torque generally to one tire only, not having a shift in power. Of course, a change in tires/inflation will provide slightly skewed results.

wow i like the way you put it. it makes a lot of sense. i put the tire psi to 20. but tires equally and rev to 3. i do notice if you try to hard to launch it hard your 60 ft times go down the drain. my best launch was a 2.2 and it bogged a little bit (like mayby to 2900) but traction all the way... i ended up missin 3rd lol and ran a 15.7. but i think that run had to have been a 15.3 second run. it felt soo good.

Do you have a short throw? Adjust your seat forward 2 notches. These shoul dhelp with the misshift that we are all experiencing.

[cougar1973]

ya i have a short throw. and i think i got anxious. lol. the other times i missed were when i held the nitrous button around my shift knob. now i hold it on the steering wheel.

i noticed if i scoot my seat foward it is easier im 6'4 so its tough to sit too close. but it does help.

GOOD JOB
at least u fixed ur problem
i shift harder to avoid misses
i haven't missed since
"knoc on wood"

[cougar1973]

haha. ya i was doin that. and one time i was "supposed" to miss but slam it so hard it went in anyway. so now i try not to slam it too hard. lol.

[ac3 b00gi3]

lol .. yup be careful .. it can break

[cougar1973]

that would be no good. but anyway from what the word is around here is that me and a couple of buddies are goin to sunday fun day at orlando raceway. to run the cars. so if i go ill defiantly have to give an up date on the times....13.9....lol hopefully

[ac3 b00gi3]

lollol
i beat a moded type s RSX due to his mis-shift (5th to 4th)
i was celebrating

[cougar1973]

ya. i hadnt told my friend i was sprayin and told him to race me comin home from the mall. i told him "i wanted to see if my exhaust did anything". lol and i pulled on him. he thought his car broke. so we went again and beat by 2 cars.

[carboncrazytc]

lol what was he driving ??

[ac3 b00gi3]

lol .. thats cold .. yea what kind of car was he driving ??

[cougar1973]

oh he was driving a 2006 rsx type s. with I/h/E ecu reflash. and some other little stuff.

[ac3 b00gi3]

o .. sweet .. my boyz has a reflash an ARC induction box and sum other stuff .. he's a really good driver .. i'm gettin better .. but wen i boost he has to do a lot ov work to keep up wit me lollol .. i cant wait

[06civicsi225]
