Well, the past 2 days looked like crap, but today... beautiful sunshine, just in time for the first day opening of Free Runs (actually $15.00, but ANY car/truck/motorcycle can run) at the Sacramento Raceway. Today was pretty mixed...some good, and somve very bad shiat. I cruise with 2 of my cousins, my brother-in-law, and a good friend to the strip... and a little fender bender along the way. My cousin in his 93 Teg rear-ends me at about 15-20 mph... Some scrapes on my rear bumper and some gashes, while his teg is rocked pretty hard... bent front crossmember, bent hood, scraped bumper, smashed headlight and corner light... I didn't even care much about my Celica (I care! I really do!)... I felt really bad for my cuz tho. Luckily... it was basically like an accident between brothers. I'll post picts on that later... for now... 1/4 mile runs.
I ran 2 runs. My first was a fairly decent 16.946 @ 81.798 mph with a .601 reaction time.
My second run was 16.784 @ 81.201 mph with a .700 reaction. Not too shabby, but it could have been better. I ran with a full interior minus spare tire and jack. My car weighed in at a very slim 2520 pounds with 1/2 tank of gas. If I would have rolled some lighter, smaller rims... I probably could have hit as low as 16.4... but cause I was rollin 17's... it was a bit slower. Anyways... pretty good overall. Exactly what I expected. My mods are, CAI, Exhaust, UD pulley, decently tuned SAFC, and Header. Pretty good... cuts about a second off of the stock times.
There were also a tons of EVO VIII's and WRX's there today. Nice looking, but all sub-par drivers. There was like only one WRX that broke 13's and every other one was in the mid-low 14 range. Pretty sad... I mean, they launched like little babies... There was also a riced out MR2 turbo that ran low 14's... not too shabby. And as for the so-called baddass... the Dodge Neon SR/T... well I watch both of his runs, the first was a dismal 15.6 and the second was also a dismal 15.3. Overrated I say!
On a side note, my Cousin's 93 Integra LS (CAI, DC Header, Skunk2 ECU, minor weight reduction) even after the accident managed a pair of 15.5 runs. Those were equilavent with my other cousin's (Teg boy's brother) runs of 15.7 and 15.6 in his 2002 Civic SI hatch (Hondata flashed ECU, Shortram intake). Now I hope you Celica GT guys don't start BSin about smokin Integra LS's with your Auto GT's... 15.5 with bolt-ons and a chip...hehe I still haven't heard of a 5sfe powered Celica do that with bolt-ons... On the other hand, when sitting in an MR2... the 5SFE just seems a little bit more powerful. My brother in-law's 91 MR2 n/a (Intake and exhaust) managed another 16.0 run and a very good 15.8 run. Not too shabby
Now for some fun. I know most of you have heard of the fabled LSVtec. Anyways, in stock trim, meaning stock B18B block and stock B18C1 head, when mated together, only run about a bit better, if not at par with stock B18C1's. Our friend cruised in a stock-trim LSVtec EG hatch and ran 15 flat... however, while we were there, there was another one of our buddies with an EG hatch with a fully built LSvtec (around 10K a redline), that ran a ridiculous 13.2 pass. I mean, I shiat in my pants. That was pretty impressive. No, no Nitrous/turbo, or anything of the sort on this one. ALL MOTOR.
Anyways, pretty fun day, minus the little accident. I'll post my timeslips later, cause i'm currently too lazy to go plug up my scanner.
