want the time's in the 1/4 of your cars that are or can be daily driven

if you could please post time slips and list of mods as well

 

12.06@114.5 on 11/24/02.

Daily driven, street legal (high flow cat) & passed Maryland's PITA dyno testing emissions in October.

 

11.8 @ 118mph

Street tyres, pump fuel and a shaky 17psi (My boost controller was clapping out)

 

I have an 88 TII with 78k miles. Went to Jackson SC last night. Here's my times:
Temp in the 40's, 3/4 tank with me in it weighs about 3100lbs. Don't know Alt. 225/45-16 Kumho Supra 712

--------------Run 3----Run 4----Run 5----Run 6
-----R/T-----.863-----.557------.623------.493
------60'----2.376----2.350----2.421----2.373
-----330'----6.484---6.545----6.601----6.592
--1/8 ET----9.867----9.921----9.965----9.968
1/8 MPH----73.60---72.77----73.04----72.83
--1/4 ET----15.285--15.297--15.345--15.358
1/4 MPH----80.07---81.42----81.42----81.33

My first run I tried to drop the clutch but the revs were too low(3200). Didn't want to try again at higher RPM for fear of breaking something so I just slipped it at 3500...Missed 2nd. 3rd run, tried 4000 RPM slip,pulled hard, clutch got real hot and slipped almost all of 2nd..but it was my fastest time. Run 4-6 were all the same...3500 RPM slip and hit 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears perfectly.
Maybe I could have taken a tenth or two off by staying in third to the finish.
I just don't understand why I'm soo slow. Aren't the TII's supposed to go 14.4 or something.
At least I'm consistent.

All stock-->no mods of any kind.

i was running about 14.00 consistently. But that was almost 200 hp ago. Haven't been to the track yet.

 

12.7@113 at 13psi. After the BNR stage 2 top secrets and a midpipe, who knows. The R1 will still be basically a daily driver, but I've gotta drive the lil crx sometime

 

I've only been 1 time. Best was a 15.4 @ 94mph totally stock. The speed is about right, time is total crap. fstrnyou: How are you MPHs so low compared to your times? I think the "8x" is suppose to be "9x."

 

your car was/is still daily driven when you ran a 10.3 wasn't it Steve? slicks, race gas and a bit more boost, but still daily driven, which i think the guy is looking at

 

I've heard of "daily driven" RX-7s as low as mid-10s (by daily driven i mean it's their main car they use for everything, going to work, groceries, cruising, whatever)

I've heard of street legal driven RX-7s as low as low 9's, but I suspect these are "weekend only" cars which rarely get driven other than for a pleasure cruise. Definitely not the main car.

 

I think Steve means street trim.

"Do a quater mile pass" then drive down a dirt road fill up @ a gas station (not pumping C16) and then go pass your yearly vehicle inspection on the way home from the strip (ie no slicks, dumped exhaust etc) ! Then after that, pack the car up and go driving for say a couple of days (touring).

That would be a daily driven car in my book

There are very few fast street trim RX7's that can do ALL these things.

 

thats cause we'd need shares in the petrol company to go touring in our 7's

 

Nope man. You are right where you should be. 15.2 is what the S4 TII is listed as stock and that was 15 years ago. You're doing good and with some drag radials you should be able to drop you 60' time to a 2.1 or 2.2 with a good launch.

 

Rice - Thats right, street trim! And I will be trying to better that 11.8 soon! You better come up and crack into the 11s with me!!

I get 400kms+ on a tank of petrol, and thats giving it a bit :p

I'm sure I could get 500kms to a tank if I tried!

 

Yes, I totally agree with you Rice Racing about what a street trim car really is.
I don't think anyone can get more than pretty high 10's with this type of street driven RX-7 as you describe. With a 20B installed however, that number might drop a bit while maintaining. the same streetability.

 

I'm gonna try and make you eat those words!

 

I am going to try to make myself eat those words too!

 

11.56.......then 11.59 @ 122mph on pump gas(Exxon93), stock motor, stock turbos(non-seq) and Nittos NT555 drag radials.....

Just the way I drive it everyday........w/less boost of course

 

Very impressive numbers, esp. on stock motor and turbos. What kinda boost? 17-18?

Congrats man

 

I dont know much about drags, but I am ******* impressed with that !

 

I never got to the track last year, although I was running 17 psi and put 365 rwhp on my stock port s4..
AJC13b, I have to say, I got far better gas mileage with the haltech running my car than the stock ecu, even though I have roughly doubled the stock power output, my cruise gas mileage was around 30+ mpg, with the stock ecu it was around 20-22...Max

 

Hehehe...thanks guys

Power FC registered 1.08kg/cm2 peak but it was actually 16.5psi on boost gauge easily....
It was simply a good cold day with good traction....... 1.76-1.80 60ft's.

Going back on slicks and 17.5psi(max for oem map sensor) and see what it will do....

 

11.1@122MPH Me
I used to drive the car everyday, about 60miles a day. Work was about 30miles each way, even drove it in the snow. That was last year before all the mishaps took place.

10.2@137mph
Tony from T and R drives his 3rd gen daily, all the time. He drives it to and from his shop. He also drives it to all the events, races, and then drives home. I think that is a daily driver.

I think that PFS has a red 3rd gen that runs 9s and is daily driven. Looks so stock under the hood.

John D, lotta props to you guy!!!

Anthony

 

My best was a 15.30 @ 98 mph, this was with a broken TB with only one working TB plate.

With some slicks and the now working correctly TB, low 14s are here.
