Friend pulled a 16.1(NA)
Thats pretty good right? All he has is an intake and his clutch/tranny is all fucked up. Very difficult to get it in gear. He said his best run he couldn't catch 3rd. I see people on here run 17s with full exhaust, etc. Hes about to go true-dual and maybe some N20.

Ya I think he could get in the mid 15s with his clutch/tranny fixed. It really sucks. Sometimes I can just not get it in any gear unless the car is turned off. I bet I coulda got it in the 15s

One of the last times I went to the track and saw the F&F guys,I would say I didnt see one FC run in the 16s,They were high 17 even 18.Levi said he ran a high 14 (which I didnt see) I ran 15s with my FB on stock ports,15.3 / 15.9
Im going to bridge port it soon once I get time to hope to make it to the next DragWars.
Ryde _Or_Die Get your **** done so we can go,I want to beat up on some Hondas

I was really badly tuned and my turbo was apparently about to go. Would explain the smoking problem I was having.

The only time I took my 86' N/A to the strip I ran a 16.3. I wasn't really ready cuz they did't match me up with anyone, and I wasn't shifting fast enough. Plus it was my first and only time ever racing at the strip. I still haven't had a chance to go back. My bushings and spring are all f-ed up on the shifter, I have **** tires, and I am completely stock.

I got a 15.7 at 88mph out of mine when the only mod it had was a RB pipe + presilencer. That was with winter tires, easy shifting and still getting tire in the third gear Waiting for a set of new Kumho 712s and a few other bits until I try again. I'm sure I can get it down to 15.2-15.3 which is fairly good for an 86'.

All these guys in the 17's are in hot climates. Higher temperatures = less oxygen for a given air density, meaning less available power. All the guys in the low 16's are in colder climates.

My first time at the strip, about a month after I got my car I ran 16.4-16.8 on a bone stock '90 GTU. I was dissapointed and started looking for things wrong with my car. The previous owner had put the plugs from the leads on the trails.
When I went back, I ran a 16.0 with a granny launch (2.6 60ft).The car had a racingbeat header, pre-silencer, and an air filter. My times were still not great, so again I checked out my car, and only one 6port was opening.
These were my only two times at the drag strip, so basicly I suck at drag racing. not to be an *** but, you 17 second guys need a tune up, or driving lessons or somthing

Well I run 17's and My 60fts were 2.4 best. I know how to launch. That was in my 88 SE.
As for tune up. I have done plugs,wires,e-fan,removed a/c,all fluids changed. I can fell the ports actuating. It hasn't accured to me but maybe only one is opening up.
As for the hot climate. I did my 17.1 on my first run in the car since i bought it and it was late august(70-80`F).
I haven't run it late;y cause my second gear syncro is gone so I can't 5H1F7 (V)4|) Qu1(|< '/0 !!
Oh yeah.. If you plan to drag alot. Buy mazdatrix's racing diff mount ahead of time. After 10ish times down the strip in my 88SE it was beyond gone.

you guys realize that altitude affects your car too, for some i bet if you ran your car at sea level youd see some better numbers. my rex ran a hell of a lot better in houston when i got back from college in tucson. tucson is 3000ft i think and houston is 0ft. i dont have quarter mile numbers to back this up but i could definitly tell a difference.
