good point, and that 2.0 60' was on street tires? thats pretty good. Thats my main concern, I haven't been to the track before so as long as i can get a half-decent 60' i should have a good time.

well heres the situation...stock i ran 15.45 (broke a new 2.4L stock record..factory time is generaly 15.50+)

went to the track again with my intake..ran 15.5-15.7's all day...was a **** off..

so now i got intake and muffler (doesnt add much if any) and wear and tear and shitty allingment so i cant see myself running any better..

last year i was the one of the only people to hit a .50 reaction time..i just need more money for more mods lol

Nope, I'm the white RSX Type-S (debadged) with gold rims. At the track I'm sporting the stock gunmetal rims in the read, and black rims/slicks on the fronts.

All 2.0L motor and slicks. Shooting for 13.4-13.5 this year by getting more seat time and bringing my 60ft down to 1.80. In the next couple months a new clutch/flywheel, new intake manifold, and new tune should help also.
How much $$ do you want for me to do a couple passes on those slicks???? Ill be arriving at gimli with spare axles..............

Well I can add to that story, my very first run on slicks, botched my first burnout (Pretty embarassing in front of a stand of spectators lol) and ran the 13.80. Have never gotten it again (mostly 13.82-13.84, which I'm happy for the consistency). You just have to have the right mind-set, I *know* I can do 13.80, I *know* I can do better with a little practice. Blame the 15.5-15.7's on the shitty head winds we had last year.

Stock I ran 15.2 @ 94, and that's average joe-schmoe stock times. You've broken the stock record, so you're already off to a good start.

What's your bolt pattern? It's a 5 x 114.3 bolt pattern, 15" x 7" rim, 24.5" x 8" slick. If the bolt pattern fits, and it the rim clears your rotors, you can have a couple runs if you buy me a burger @ Gimli lol.

Yeah there's only 1 manafacturer that makes a 15" rim for the RSX, clearance is like 1-2 millimeters. It's our only option if you want to run a slick, otherwise everyone else uses a Drag Radial.

Cobalt's don't have any option for full race slicks? (on top of the stock rotor/caliper)

All the Gimli talk on all the local forums has got me excited, unfortunately I won't be able to make the May long race weekend 'cuz I'll be camping (With jeffereyss no less lol). I'll definately be out for any other Test & Tune that doesn't fall on a long weekend.

**** may long.............camping ftw !

this has been a long time comming.but me and foujin will be out there next time for sure !!!!!!!!!

projekt, listen to this guy,he is a smart mother ****** and his knowledge on the n/a ...you might pick up something.
