he means CAI lol

 

even if an average driver runs a 1/4 mile they will not pull off a 16.8...C&D has drivers that do that for a living (TEST DRIVERS)...you have to know what RPM to launch from, pressure in tires, YADA, YADA ,YADA...it was his first time @ the track and not everyone has the experience like we do...you learn as you go...i went to my first AutoX and my last 4 runs i was timed...my first run to my last run i improved my runs by 5 seconds...i was quick to learn the course and where i was going slow at...if i ran more i KNOW i would have gone faster...i want to go to the dragstrip and see what the Fit runs with me behind the wheel...personally i think the Fit is more at home at the track than 1/4...but i will try to get out to the strip.
my point to all this is give pointers to those that have done it the 1st time instead of dissing them...pay attention that it was his 1st time

 

i was the one that run 16.6 and my 60 foot was 2.2

 

and this last wednesday i run 16.3 @ 81.9 mph

A 1989 CRX Si is barely over 2000lbs (something like 2038lbs IIRC) with 108hp and 100tq. The Fit is over 400lbs more. And I'm pretty sure that an 89 was running closer to 16.2 stock, but I have to pull out my old Car&Driver magazine to verify that.

After at least 20 runs down the strip, my best is 16.9@79mph, completely stock, with a best 60ft of 2.5xx. If I could pull a 2.4 or 2.3 (highly unlikely) that would translate to a possible 16.5 (very highly unlikely) stock. Maybe with intake/header/exhaust it would be possible.


With IHE and a cam in my 89 CRX Si I was able to pull multiple 14s runs with a best of 14.82@93mph (edit: 2.2xx 60ft)- I hope the Fit can be just as responsive to bolt-ons. Even at over 350,000 miles, it still hits 15.3@91, and gets close to 40mpg and the untouched bottom end still doesn't burn oil between oil changes.

 

I ran a 17.6 on 87oct. full tank of gas and NO vtec on the car. car is stock. I had problems with my controller so had to unplug vtec from the ecu, but will have vtec on this week. might got to the track to see a better time. I'm sure i'll click off a 16sec pass?

 

today i run 16.22 @ 83mph wohhooo

 

I do wanna go back, but have not had much time to do that..

 

Hey guys... take this into consideration as well when looking at 1/4 mile times ppl post.

I live in Calgary Alberta Canada and the elevation here is higher than most cities in North America. When I ran my 2000 B16A Civic Si at the local track the fastest time I could post in stock config was a 16.8, after gutting the interior and adding I/H/E I was able to bring that number down to 16.0.

I was shocked to see these numbers out of a 160hp Si.. but when I spoke to local racers they said that your times in Calgary will be about a second slower than US posted times due to the elevation difference. So my times were almost right on par with the tests posted in magazines of mid to low 15s.

Just cause someone can run faster than you or faster than the mags take this factor into consideration.. as well as track temp and air temp as well as those make huge differences too.
