S4 N/a First time out on the track.......
Hey all I finally got a chance to go to the 1/4 mile track out here. I didn't do too well but I didn't want to beat the **** out of my car. But I did improve my times a little. Here are my stats I did five runs but only 4 timeslips were recorded the first one was no god because they were having sensor troubles or something. I also only got on accurate MPH# when I ran in lane two the other lane shows I was going 1 or 2 mph
Run# 1: Lane 2
Reaction=1.355
60ft= 2.379
MPH 83.51
ET 16.479
Run#2: Lane 1
R/t 1.213
60ft 2.377
MPH 2.79(incorrect duh)
ET 16.363
Run# 3: Lane 1
R/t .881
60ft 2.307
MPH 2.80(wrong)
ET 16.265
Run# 4: Lane 1
R/t .616
60ft 2.325
MPH 2.81 wrong
ET 16.230
Overall the car sucked from what I was hoping to get. I expected mid 15's with it but no cigar. The runs were with my 87 Sport mods are as follows: Mazdatrix uncollected exhaust(true duals), stock modified air box, SS clutch line, removed PS, removed A/c, Removed stereo, removed smog, SS oil cooler lines, SS brake lines, Axxis metal brake pads, mazda racing short shifter, first gen S-AFC conservativly leaned out(roughly 2-4% in each adjustment point), front strut bar, FD alt with dual pully, S4 clutch-type LSD installed, competition moto mounts, new tranny mounts, competition diff mount, synthetic oils in tranny and diff, brembo front rotors.
The engine has Roughly 165k miles on it and compression numbers in the high 90's and low 100's. I still have all the interior and ran the car with some of my tools and the spare out back. I am running all season Potenza RE950's on the BBS vert wheels which came with the car. I wanted to run the car with my CAI because although it was cold in the night my engine bay temps were around 159* F at the staging lanes. I could have used some 50* air in there. I hope to return and see what more I can improve on my reaction time and my launch technique.

What was the humidy like? That can cause your car to run like a dog. I'm sure you can get your 60' down to 2.2 with enough practice, that will cut about 2 tenths off of your time right there.

Yo,
Ain't that a bitch? I feel your pain.
NA's are a pain to drag. I'm stoked about my 15.3 @ 91, but would be super stoked for a sub 14 second.
Oh well, we'll take 'em in the twisties, right?

I had a N/A 12A 6Port with no port sleeves and twin 2inch X 2.5 metre system finished just past the cabin, Modified RX2 Carby in a 1300 Kg Mazda B1600 ute ran 16.8 @ 80 Mph 1/4Mile 89 mph in a 13B 6port would be possible
BTW ear plugs and Helmet didn't stop my vision from blurrring because of the very load racket it made. It was so loud that when I raced a 350 Monaro with the exhaust off that he couldn't hear his motor to shift gears!!! I beat him by a half a door too!
