that seems about right cause i ran a 16.82 with just cai and cat back (and rims but there heavire then stock)(expecially since its unsprung weight). I had a crappy start too cause i dont know how to launch...you have to keep in mind that not all lancers are geared the same ( i know its weird but its true)

 

when are you gonna run again...The new thrad that i just started is from this day forward.

 

ya io saw that...my time was with one of those G-force things that go on your windshield...i dont know how acurate it is but it seemed right. I will problaby go to the track once or twice in the summer, when i do that i will post my actual...with the slip

 

i'm not brian but i'll answer blown struts will cause the car to "squat" on launch. this will make the front pop up a little and you'll lose traction because of it. if you happen to get adjustable suspension, harden it out all the way in the rear. this will reduce squat and you'll have a better launch.

i've heard of rear spring spacers for drag racing that you can get (i dunno where) that you insert between the coils of the spring to help reduce squat.

 

God, I bet I could break into the high 15's provided:
1. I get off my lazy *** and get my car Dyno tuned
2. Work on launching...I usually suck big time there

I just haven't been too motivated lately....the lancer crowd in the bay area is weak as far as meets go.

 

so roll up to Toronto we have lots of meets..one this may and one in june

 

The suspension guru concurs with the engine guru Blown shocks will make the wheels bounce too much, losing traction. As for suspension upgrades; springs, dampeners, sway bars, strut bars, and alignments have little affect on straight line traction in a low hp (and that means under 400 hp) car. Tires and maybe wider but lighter rims are about the only "suspension" upgrade that will help your lancer in the 1/4 mile.

Jeff (Uranium), I would put money on your car being the fastest NA Lancer on here. You've done some mods and research that I am still looking at in trying to develop my car's engine over the next few years.

 

i'll be down for a meet anytime..i kinda got a ****ty location where i'm at, since i'm like 1 1/2 hr from sac meets, and 1 1/2 to where your at...i'm always gonna have to drive a distance for anythin..

 

hey, im an hour away from sac myself.

 

i guess some guys have a meet every friday night in sacramento, so we'll have to meet up with em some time..there's a thread on it somewhere in the west regioon forums..i'm just to lazy to look for it...

 

naw, we meet up on saturday nights

 

you guys meet up with 1dvsoz and the eclipses?

 

yup, check it out
