4 door Honda runs 11.3

[Estorvito]

I took my 4 door honda to Toronto motorsport in Cayuga this weekend and my first pass was an 11.3 spinning the slick all the way down the track launching at 6000rpms.

second pass i went 12.3 missing 2nd and 3rd gear.
Third pass i dont know what happend and ran 11.68

ON my 4th pass i decided to do a longer burnout and lowered the tire pressure to 10psi. I then broke an axle and gave up.

Not bad for being my first time in the 1/4 mile.
IM sure i couldve ran 11.1 or better with better traction and launching at a higher rpm, but fuck it.
My goal for next year is low 10's

BTW, this was done on 18psi, 25x8.7x13" MH slicks, no lsd, stock axles and suspension.


Not bad for being my first time at the 1/4 mile track. THe engine only has 455miles since build so its still not broken in properly.

LOW 10'S HERE I COME

I definetly need to work on getting my 60ft down so i can run 10's. My mph trap is fucked up. They were having issues with it at the track. Id have to say i was trapping like 128mph.

Very good times.. looks like it's time for some high HP axles though

 

[dacheat]

i saw some pics of this car in a 'bring it' pinkslip challenge thread from some wang that never produced, the pic was hot - would love to see more!

 

[norcalgsr]

It sounds hot.. you're not getting into the 11s without knowing your shit, so I would like to see more x2!

nice work with that 4door keep it up.....good luck next time....

 

[britchick2203]

shouldn't it be broken it before you race it?

 

[Estorvito]

shouldn't it be broken it before you race it?

No such thing
Shouldnt be a problem if you build it right.

 

[reikoshea]

i think no LSD might have been one of the reasons you broke an axle.

 

[Estorvito]

^^^ Who knows.
I know the rear motor mount is fucked up. The insert is gone, so that might have something to do with it.
THe axle that broke was the one on the driver side.
I went and got another one since it was lifetime warranty and the car is back on the road.
Im waiting for Franklin from avid to send me the new rear insert so i can sell em and get solid mounts.

nice car.......fapp

 

[c97x]

youll have to run my buddies 1980 malibu w/ sb350 and 125 shot of nitro, so i can see his face when he gets pounded by a honda, or maybe mine will be ready to take him out

They didn't bitch about you not having a cage and breaking into the 11's? or is it 10.99 or faster that needs a cage? I know for sure you were rockin' a helmet. I hated using a helmet in my CRX. It would hit the roof and I would have to race down the track while slouching down a little bit. It irritated the shit outta me.

Throw an LSD into your tranny, get some High Horse power axles, heat the shit outta those slicks, and launch that mother fucker at 6k like a bat outta hell and your at mid 10's easy... your car is fuckin' sick JoJo...

 

[civicious]

congrats on the times jojo!

Fuck 'high horsepower' axles, just preload before you launch. Autozone FTW!
