[esmith13]

I feel an ass whoopin comin on :(

Me and my bald ass Hankooks will try and keep up :(

[surfsi]

Eric I can't say anything right now but for what it's worth I don't feel guilty haha

[esmith13]

Here's my best two runs of the night:

BEST RUN .............. 2ND BEST RUN
R/T: .579 .............. .699
60 ft : 2.379 .............. 2.428
330: 6.364 .............. 6.443
1/8: 9.420 .............. 9.514
MPH: 80.5 .............. 80.34
990: 11.958 .............. 12.058
1/4: 14.198 .............. 14.298
MPH: 104.74 .............. 104.10

:( ... I spun wheels through the first two gears almost EVERY RUN. The only 2 runs I did that I backed off enough to link up in 1st or 2nd gear were 15sec runs, cause I couldn't catch up after coming off the throttle. MIND YOU when I was spinning through 1st and 2nd, it was at only 1/4 throttle...

That bastard surfsi ran two 13.8's and a 13.9.... Secret weapon??... bastard had Anziens on his front wheels

you are definitely in the 13's it's just your 60ft and you were on 17's right? not bad man, I'm going to update the 1/4 time list on the At the Strip part of the forum ;)

[02SilverSiHB]

oh yeah, get surfsi to post his times over there also, so I can update it on the list

[2k2SiAutoXer]

not bad times, just get some better shoes and you should be seeing 13's. how was your clutch on the runs, much slippage?

damn! that's right, he had a stock clutch can't wait till he gets better tires and new clutch/pressure plate.

[surfsi]

Easy Eric just because you couldn't keep up doesn't mean you have to get all sour Ha-Ha. Just kidding, oh and by the way good stratagey on the BS on the lights you should be ashamed of yourself lying and telling me that there was 2 green lights, and that's the only reason I pulled a mid 14.

[esmith13]

First off I corrected myself and said two sets of WHITE lights before we ran. Touchy Touchy... Did you even here me tell anyone I beat you the first run? No... You kicked my ass fair and square. And I was the first one to congratulate you and shake the hand of a 13 sec EP owner... Your the one acting sour... The signs of a poor winner. ;)

2k2SiAutoXer,

Clutch did not slip AT ALL. I just freespun the first two gears due to shitty shoes. Now, when I have tires that can handle dumping the clutch, I'm guessin it'll start to slip... but as of now it seems the clutch can hold more than the tires can...

All runs were done feathering out the clutch from 2000-2500 rpms. I played with the amount of feathering and how much throttle (1/4 throttle through 1st and 2nd on average) and just couldn't get traction like Rob (surfsi) did.

[turbo-si]

The only turbo to run at the track so far was Jack Herrer (Sp?) IIRC, and he ran a 13.8 with mad wheel spin.

I'll be at the track in about a month with mine. It's getting a new clutch installed that will need to be correctly broken in first.


Steve

look guys i have revhard turbo kit on my ep and i run 13.2 you guy need to get some good tires... oh yeah you guy need lsd for a good launch

[esmith13]

I ran a 13.5 with stock clutch and no lsd @8psi

Now i have a stage II clutch, Type-R LSD and 10psi. I need to get back...
