finally got to the track after fixing stuff

Post by Devlin »

last fall straight after the ZE swap, i was stuck at low 16s, however my car was kinda messed up already....then i fixed the throttle cable (was loose), got working o2 sensors, new plugs/wires, got headers installed (obx gen2), 2.25" cat back (high flow everything)

r/t .656 (my best of the day was .383)
60 2.246
330 6.295
1/8 9.705
mph 71.62
1000 12.655
1/4 15.161
mph 90.80

Yes i know its not that great but there are a few things still holding me back....it was run with full stereo (2 10", seperate boxes), 17x7.5 rims with relatively cheap Nexen rubber, stock k8 clutch and inexperienced driver.
so i figure i can only get better, and since that was my first time out of the season, i'm in decent shape.

btw, it was at Toronto Motorsports Park just outside of Cayuga ON.

ok, was back at the track and changed to my stock 15" rims......unfortunately with winter rubber. apparently its not good to drag on.
couldn't get any traction till halfway thru 2nd gear so my times were slower across the board. best of the day was a 15.4 @ approx 90mph.

when changing back to my 17s, i had one 17 and one 15 in each hand to check the weight diff, and honestly it was negligable since my 17s are actually really lightweight rims.

i think my next course of action is to upgrade the rubber to maybe Fusion ZRI or something. tho lightened flywheel and stage2 clutch would b nice too (and maybe a driver who knows what they're doing) :)
