Times from My First Track Trip

[Sneaky]

Hey guys...Ive been pretty preocupied with 3si and havent posted here in awhile, so I figured Id drop in.

Ran out to the dragstrip for my first time. I wasnt too sure what to expect, but I wanted low 15s...kinda missed the mark, but not by too much...next time Im going to do some weight reduction.....

Fastest Run: 15.431@93.41

Not too shabby for only exhaust and still running a cat, right??

Ain't nothing wrong with that time, you did very well

Not bad at all. The trap is more impressive. Where's the rest of the timeslip? It all tells a story.

Here ya go, I dont have access to a scanner so sorry if its hard to read using the digital camera...my reaction time sucks, but its really easy to redlight there so I didnt want to jump the gun...

Quite respectable

Again 15.4 isn't bad, it's a bit off from where you should be but that's because your 60' isn't great. Your trap is very impressive for a near stock NA. Your car is probably damn healthy.

Very respectible...

If I were you and could afford it, I would get an LSD to reduce your 60'... I am betting you had pretty bad wheel-spin because of your trap... That is VERY good for an ES!

Thanks guys. Yeah, I was spining pretty bad. I tried dropping the first time at 3 grand and well...lets just say it wasnt pretty. The next few runs I tried around 1200 to 2g and the results were much better. Deflating the tires a bit seemed to help too.

As for my car's health, it isnt too bad, especially for just rolling over 160k. Theres things Id like to get fixed that would probably help but Im in a slight catch 22 situation of not wanting to pay someone to do it but not necessarly having the skills or the location to do it myself...Like the lifter tap, whatever that pulley whine is comming from, and the IAC.

Id really like to find a good honest mechanic or knowlegable person to give it a once over to see how healthy(or not healthy) the car really is.
