Hey there!

I've recently bought me an accelerometer(used) for $45bucks... and its been running very consistent.. but I have a few questions... how accurate do you guys think this thing can be??

recently I've ran a few runs (maybe a couple dozen runs lol) but I've been having consistent runs for my completely stock Ka-e.

My times have been around the 10.5 @ the 1/8 mile (haven't found a safe enough 1/4mile place to run yet w/o the popo after me) and the 0-60mph at around prob. 8.5 to 8.6secs...

do you guys know if the stock ka-e would run these times at the track?? i haven't taken mine to the track so i wouldn't know....

Those are hella innacurate. I have a quarter mile long strip of road to exit/enter my work and I tested my friend's "G-TECH" meter and it read that I ran a 12.9 quarter with a SOHC lol.

For the record, I managed a 14.7/90 at the track with my healthy sock.

I don't consider noisemakers like an intake and exhaust "mods" but other than that at the time, the car was gutted, no front support, no A/C stuff, no P/S stuff, I had JWT ecu, working VLSD, coilovers in the front, stock springs/shocks in the rear, B&M shifter, and some sweet tires that I borrowed from my friend's Accord.

My "opponent" was an '09 GT-R so I was a bit inspired as well to flog the HELL out of those shifts/reaction time/launch.

Let's bench race a bit shall we?

Stock Integra Type R '97 spec, runs 14.7 down the quarter on paper.

No wonder GSR's and Si's were nothing haha.
