Took the Drift Car to a Drag Race

[maxlmus347]

So i figured what the hell, ill take it down the strip and see what shell do, you could not imangine how many people ask me what the drift car does in the 1/4 mile so i got tired of telling people i didnt know, so i loaded it up and took it down to Rising Sun Cecil County Drag Way.

So it was the first time the car saw the track never really tried drag racing it, since it was boosted, i did when it was all motor, so it was a little getting used to. I got a total of 6 runs in, progressively got better, then my clutch got heat soaked bad...and it wasn't grabbing, its a 6 puck un sprung and it felt like a stock clutch grabbing...so i called it a night before i grenade it.

Setup: 12psi, 93 octane, 245/40/18 sumitomo HTRZII street tires @ 27psi, tokico illumina at setting 1, 1/2 tank of gas.

NICE!....way to blow the doors off that bubble.....:rofl:

[SLOW2DR]

good stuff, are you sure that civic had 450whp?

[maxlmus347]

^^thats what he was claiming, it was a h22 engine swapped (out of a prelude) with a turbo the same size as mine, so its possible, though its not as if he had the dyno sheet there. It was pretty quick he ran high 12's all night on street tires.... so idk.

Cool to see a drift spec. IS to rip the drag strip and being quick as well. Very nice~ + rep

[ElusiveIS]

nice!

[BlackSportD]

F'ing nice dude! Especially with those tires, I don't think much of them (245s at that), but I had the older version I think, maybe the new ones are much better.

F10x is serving you well haw? What tranny are you on?

[mutantblack]

[G0TCHA]
