I sat in one the other day and I was like :eek: such a nice car...have yet to test drive one though since that one was in the showroom...anyways, great site! So let's see those times eh?!

i ran mine with just the injen intake and stock wheels and clicked off a 15.84@86... After that, I put a header and 18" wheels and have not been able to get back in the 15's... Oh well, guess i need more mods...:)

those 18in wheels are killing your times man(i'm sure you know), you should try some lightweight wheels with good tires...who already makes headers for the EP3?

yeah i know the 18's are slowing me down, that's why I bought oz superleggera's.. they weigh about 17lbs each... By the way, the header i used is an HP from the base RSX.. it fit perfect... thanks

realy 215/ 40 are alittle off, but so are 215/45 each are off by a very small amount so it was just a preference of lower profile. i probably could have done better then 16.4 but i had never been on a drag strip before. i thought it was ok for a beginner

i shifted mine at about 7000 rpm.. was your run in shitty weather? i ran a 16.10 with 18" wheels... there must have been some humidity problems when you ran.....

15.692 @87.09 mph Great Lakes Dragway

stock everything, just disconnected the intake hose from the airbox.

Also my buddies GTECH registered my car at constant 15.6's

:D

that's one of the better times I've seen as on most other boards they're around low 16's...was that run when your car was lowered, or before the drop? btw, how does disconnectin the intake hose affect performance? I never heard of that before.

Have not run mine yet. But looks like me and my house mates will be going down to Laguna Seca in Januray to rent thre track for a day. That is not for another 6 months but I think I will know my Si well enough to run it good. I am not going to replace the tires untill these ware out. But the tires can;t be THAT good if I can cherp them in 3rd gear. My quesrtion is, are there nice grippy all weather sport tires for those stock 15" rims? I really can not afford to buy nice rims any time soon so I thought I would just go for nice tires. Thanks :cool:

I noticed Dunlop seems to sell nice tires at a good price. I was also checking out rims.. They are not THAT bad for a set of 17's. But then you have to get the tires for them. a bit more expensive but not outragious. Thanks for the advice.. Now is someone would just gimmie some advice on my Subwoofer and car alarm questions in a different thread I would be happy! hehe

I ran a 16.1 @ 86 mph stock with 25psi in the tires. Moroso in West Palm Beach. That was sandwiched between a couple 17-something runs because I spun through most of first gear. I neeeeed new tires asap! :rolleyes: Sucks, cuz my first run was against a previous gen Si, black. I wanted to impress everyone... Too bad I looked like a jackass. I guess I'll know the car better by the time I get back there. :D

wow these are some slow times.

the front stock tires are sooo bad on the car though that just changing them makes all the difference in the world.

thats about as low as it is going to get stock
