Took my stock IX to the track today just to get an idea of what it can do.

Bone Stock IX GSR, nothing removed.
Gas: pump 93, ¼ tank
Weight: 3,348 with me in it.

First run: bogged of the line @ 4-4.5rpm
13.5@100.97
\/


2nd run: 5k rmp launch, and slipping the clutch, too much clutch slipping = clutch slipping all the way through 1st. = bad run.

3rd run: 5k rmp launch quick clutch release, clutch still slipping on and off through 1st gear
13.4@103mph
\/


4th run: 4.5k rpm launch, easy on the throttle= no clutch slipping.
13.3@102mph
\/


Conclusion:
>Clutch was not fully broken in @ 600 miles.

 

Not bad at all!! Get the 60' down (not that i am any better) and you be LOW 13's

 

I think with a better 60', it would be in the 12's
I'm not too thrilled with that trap speed btw.

 

take the restricter pill out of the slave cylinder, put on a stainless steel clutch line, you,ll lauch much better with less slipping

 

103 isn't too bad given the bad 60' and the fact you only have 600 miles. With a good launch and some more miles under your belt, I'm sure you can get 105-106.

 

your clutch is fine, u just need to practice launching
i took mine at the track with 600 miles on it, best 60' was a 1.78, and i was averaging 1.8 60'

ur trap speed is the same as mine as well, m best time stock was 13.1@102.7, my other runs were 13.2@103

ur car is just fine, just keep practicing.

good luck

ps: it looks to me u are slipping the clutch too long, the way i launch my car is full thorttle off the 5k limiter, slip the clutch and as soon as u feel the car move just release the clutch very quickly, that technic alway get me 1.8-1.7 60', with tires better suited for drag racing and more power, that launch techinic s good for 1.7-1.6 60'

 

hehe i was there for this track day. didnt get to see what ya ran. but friends said you were a dick to them lol. keep up the good work.

 

A dick?, I’m confused
Please explain how.

 

they said you were being cocky for having a evo with 600miles on the track beating the **** out of it. there was no need for that they just were talking to you. since my friend is trying to be the fastest free mod evo.

 

Actually I think I glazed the clutch a bit on my 2nd pass, that’s why it didn’t hold my 3rd and 4th passes.
I haven’t driven a stock clutch for a while now, coming from a fully metallic unsprung to stock, is night and day deference.

 

Poor car....

 

hehe 600 miles should be good for it tho. but car takes a little learning.

 

Well, It sounds to me like I was more of a threat to him/them rather than cocky, I don’t see how they come to the assumption that I was a dick for bringing a 600 miles car to the track.
Anywho, Good luck to your friend.

 

hey thats what they told me i thought it was funny taking a car to track with 600miles on it. i laught but didnt want to go over and say whats up. you looked mean.

 

WTF, If I see an Evo at the drag strip, I always make it a point to go over and say hello regardless how of "mean" they look.
