J30 1/4 MILE....

[Rapman2005]

Alright I Wana Know If You Taken Your J30 To The Track What Did It Run?........

[Jakw]

Isn't the stock time like almost 17 seconds? Vroom...

[yodawill2000]

Yup.

But its a very comfortable 17 seconds !!!

hehe

[Jakw]

Hahahaha, yeah, just as long as there aren't any corners after those 17 seconds, you're good to go.

I will admit, the body roll isn't as bad as my old Volvo 850, with over 200,000 very abusive miles on it. It's still such a tank, though...sketchy around fast corners.

[Rapman2005]

OK...I dont Think A J30 Run's A 17 In a 1/4?

Mine Run's A 15.50 with the two mods if done full exhaust and intake.How is runing faster then 17s? And Weight Its 3206 with out driver?why does it say 4400 on the door of the car?

[Jakw]

Time slip? Pretty sure a common listed time is 16.8 seconds.

You've run a 15.5? Proof? It would take at least 30 - 40 extra horsepower to get that sled to go 15.5 and intake and exhaust will NOT add that.

Js weigh closer to 3,500 lbs and the 4,400 lbs number on the door is GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) which is the total amount that the car is rated to carry INCLUDING the weight of the car itself which means that you can add about 1,100 lbs of passengers, fuel, luggage, etc without being over the weight rating.

Congrats! 15.8 is pretty strong for a J but uhhmmm, you got SMOKED!!!

What was that? A Z06 corvette?

[Rapman2005]

No it was a 3000gt vr4...It was at the event i posted up Import Face-off i was doin time trials so they just put u with wat ever is next to you..and i really dont know how much power my J has for it to run that i may get it dynoed im very curious....cuz 15.8 is fast for The J and only 2 mods done to it

[mels95j30]

lol well we dont have 1/4 miles tracks close to where i love in SC but we have n 8th mile n mines ran a 10.899 @ 66 i guess thats not bad for that big ol boat lol

[Rapman2005]

yea its fast for A j30 i just depends if you try to mod it

[gr8scott72]

lol well we dont have 1/4 miles tracks close to where i love in SC but we have n 8th mile n mines ran a 10.899 @ 66 i guess thats not bad for that big ol boat lol

A 10.9 1/8th is a 17.0 1/4.

[yodawill2000]

Yo Rap ..What 2 mods did you do ??

[mels95j30]

i also cheated took all the seats out but the driver seat lol everything out the trunk lol nothing in it at all . i wanna run it at the 1/4mile track

[Rapman2005]

Well The only Thing I Did Was The Full Exhaust System With No cats And I took out the air box and put a fillter on it....





i still have to get a pulley and i got someone making me a custom two peace cold air intake..i man get some nos but i got to do more search on it,,

[Rapman2005]

so mel you took out your seats and everything and you ran a 10.899 at a 1/8 of mile

Impressive reaction time. A 0.391. Nice. 10.3 for the 1/8 mile...now that's more like a J. The one I raced ran a 10.7ish. I'll post the slips when I find them.

[mels95j30]

yea y im sure you dont belive me huh ?

[Rapman2005]

its not that i dont belive you im just surprised tat u ran that time but u took everything out

[#1 Sailor Scout]

So weight reduction (back seat/front passenger seat removal) in the J makes that much of a difference???

[mels95j30]

i guess i was at an aww my self lol n then its all n the launch if you dont just hold the break n then hit the gas kinda lightly hold the gas then mash the gas lol i dont really know how to explain it .

[yodawill2000]

Its called power braking.

[#1 Sailor Scout]

While everyone's posting their track times, I guess I'll post mine when I raced the (riced) J30. Lane positions are marked & these were on a 1/8 mile track. (Mobile Dragway in Irvington, AL...20 mins away from my house!!!!!)



Keep in mind that this J30 was the one I posted a pic of in some other threads. Big wing, fart can, no-name air filter, & a Ron Paul for President sticker.

2.6 sixties? Yikes! You need to get those down to around 2.2.

I believe it's something like for every tenth you shave off your 60 foot time, you will shave 2 tenths off the quarter mile time.

How are you launching? Reving and then just dumping the clutch? Try a few different ways and a few different rev points to see which works better for you.

In my GTI and golf (both fwd) it worked best to rev to about 4k rpms and then quickly but smoothly let out the clutch. (not just dumping it.)

Btw, in my 2000 Golf 1.8 turbo, I ran a 13.9 quarter with just a chip and a downpipe and slightly wider tires than stock. (that's about a 8.9 1/8th)

True, my car is a 5-speed, but it's an *gasp* automatic.

I usually preload to 2.5K RPMs. Can't get the car to go any further. I just usually hold on the brake, then put in about 75% on the gas. When I see the 3rd yellow, I get off the gas & drop the hammer!!

You think I can get up to 2.2 in 60 ft with a stock Civic w/a 5-speed auto?

BTW, those were by no means my best runs since I've had the Civic. I once had a 10.42. How I got that is still beyond me.

[#1 Sailor Scout]

I've not been to the strip in 6 months. I think I need to go back to improve on my launching & my RT's.

na na its not quite that really its not . im not sitting there holding the brake .

I thought it was called "pre-loading" the torque converter...

[mels95j30]

i guess i wish i could show you lol .
