Yo,


Xentrix, you know I'm just givin' ya a hard time.


The other thing about the drag strip vs. G-tech is that you don't have the Timing lights/Christmas tree to contend with. There is a certain amount of pressure to launch correctly with the lights, vs. just the G-tech. It's more like the real world where you're at a stop light and you have one chance to get the jump on the other guy.

I just think a timeslip is more "real" than a G-tech number.

I know

I don't think I'll have a time slip until I get this turbo on my car anyways.

 

Yo,


Turbo? Turbo?! WHAT?!


Say it ain't so!!

*grin*

Yet another promising young Jedi is lured to the Dark Side.

*sigh*

Kevin
1989 GTUs "Heh."

 

I can't help it. The red lightsabers look too cool. I'm gonna turbo my NA, but I'm a poor college student. I don't have 'that' many more parts (need a series 4 lower tII intake manifold and some injector stuff) to get a working na-t, but I'd like to go ahead and get a rebuild before I do this.

 

15.7 here with a 86' base (power nothing), weighting in at 2480 a few days before (with about 30lbs of crap and 1/4 tank of fuel), really bad winter tires (got decent tire even in 3rd gear, not to mention 1st and 2nd) and RB cat replacement pipe+presilencer.

I'm sure I could get that down to 15.5 or so with some practice, as I've only drag raced a few times before.

 

Like billy said..We only have a 1/8th track unless we go to Gulf Port, Ms. for a 1/4th. My car is completely stock for now..and i've gotten it to the low 11s. Check out my threads on my 1/8th times (both threads)

 

does turbo n/a count here

 

Yo,


Nope! Go vote on the turbo poll!! *grin*

If you can find it...it keeps dropping off the front page...NA powah baby!

I WAS planning on going to the dark side but realized TII parts are hard to find cheap. I mean I want a turbo but Id want to do it right and thats rather $$. So my goal is a 14.0 with my n/a that I drive on the street.


PS- Is the RB header/presilencer that much better than the pacesetter? Including sound and performance gains, I already know he quality is MUCH better.

 

The only thing I don't like about the RB header is how stinking heavy it is. The build quality and performance gains are first rate.

 

I ran 14.6 when my 87 was still kinna fresh to me...1/4 tank of gas....only drivers seat....no spare....no carpet....one lug removed from each wheel....ran along side the car to save my own weight.....

 

<==I am in the process of turning to the dark side..

I bought my engine hehehe

 

People voting for 15 and below, post who you are. I wanna know who on here is running those times.

Wouldn't mind seeing the sub-13sec. guys' slips too.

 

I ran a 15.3 and had to let off the gas in first and second.. to get that crappy 15.3..


I think the car has a second to gain with real tires..

 

14.19--86 gxl numbers are backed up at www.rx7.com
12.68--t2 stock turbo---If you guys are running 16s ---in a na--it has to be completely stock.

 

NICE ******* AVITAR!!!!!!!!!

Sorry off topic

 

I voted 14.5 because I can't find my actual time slip to back up the 14.3xx that I remember.

Mine was run at Steele, AL. That track is so shitty NHRA will not sanction the track for official events. At the time it was on a motor that only pulled 80lbs at most on a compression check. Mods were, full RR exhaust (one muffler, no cats or pre-silencer, short pirmaries), all emessions removed, cone intake. And the car only weighes around 2400lbs (with 6pt cage)

The car's suspension is setup for a road course and I can't drive a straight line so my best 60ft was something like 2.3+.

Now that I have a new ported motor and a bit less weight I might be able to break into the 13's but the car is sold (but still in my garage) so I will never know.

And I forgot.. it has a MazdaComp 4.33 LSD.

 

Mostly driver that can make the times shorter. And i'm thinking of turbo charging my NA engine.. after an expensive rebuild.. Well.. actually twin turbo charging with T-25's or t-66's and i'm not gonna be using no friggin TII intake!! anyways i'll tell ya what my times are whenver i get this beater on the road.. ( and beleive me.. i'm gonna beat the **** out of it for a while to take out all my aggrivation at it for the irritation it cuased to get it running!)

 

I did'nt think that my 15.1@95 was that bad. Keep in mind, this was'nt with removal of anything out of the car, besides the spare tire, I think. I'm still running ac, ps, all my emmission, and a exaust thats heavier than the factory one! CJ

 

ttt

 

I have a friend with i belive its a 10 second Rx-7(his name is Rotary Boy), but his is a 3rd gen and turbo also its a 20b, so he has extreme power, i no its off topic, but i thought id mention it.

 

And you posted that in the n/a quarter mile poll thread why??

hey liquid, it's "buddy christ." watch dogma sometime.

 

16.2 with exhaust........

now ive got
mindtrain header
mindtrain presilencer
new exhaust
intake
ac removed
spare removed
wired 6th ports....

hoping for mid 15's.......hoping.....

 

Yeah yeah, I know; I just haven't gotten around to changing it (I have the DVD BTW)

On a note relating to this topic... what did you put for the poll? I didn't vote, due to the fact I've never been to the track w/ my RX-7... but I doubt that stopped you

 

I didn't vote either...
