Me and hatchbone went out on test and tune day.


Car is ready to go



Jake showed up with our limo.






Even the family showed up




Then after hatchbone made a great impression for the hotrod guys laying coolant down the whole track, we got some runs in. I got 3 in, one of them missing 3rd gear. The other two were both 13.0's @ 111mph. I had trouble from the start to about the top of 2nd. Everything felt good, but the times weren't there, with 60ft. in the 2.2 range. I've since discovered that my launch control is set at 5k, when it should be at 7k. More stuff to fix.


Speaking of things to fix, the track guy at the end told me someone at the start told him I was leaking something. I joked with him that maybe they just don't like honda guys (there was only 2 of us), but when I got back to the pits to check it I found this.




I guess something didn't like me in the transmission and decided to escape. Time for a new tranny.

It was still a good time watching hatchbone run like 20 times, working his way from 13.0's to 12.6 @117. At least we still had the motorcycles there.




And here's the spoiled bitch that's gonna put me in the poor house by breaking everything.

[crttaz]

OEM diff? I bet you broke a tooth off the side gears.

[Stealthmode]

We'll see. Gotta tear it out and find out what's useable. I also have a gsr tranny with questionable sincros, so I'm just trying to figure out what's going back in it so I can go racing again.

[danz]

good job shutting down the track


around here its the domestics that blow up all the time

[Stealthmode]

No, I didn't shut down the track. My friend did, and he was hated for a minute with the track/hotrod nigs.

When my tranny broke I had no idea. Drove fine and all. The guy at the end of the track spotted the leak, then I checked it out.

[lilpooh21186]

damn thats a bad rap track guys are usually dicks about hondas round my way also

[Stealthmode]

Well, they do have the monthly sport compact day full of 18 second buzzers, but being around real racers has a better environment/challenge aspect.

[88dx]

thats crazy only 2 honduhs, I went to the track friday and their had to be close to 30

[widebody93]

You said real racers? They run 13's? LMAO

[danz]

thats crazy only 2 honduhs, I went to the track friday and their had to be close to 30

then 30 mazdas, 30 toyotas, 20 mitsubishis and 20 nisAnd because I'm an intellectual being, .... we wont count the VWs.


crazy how many imports come out to race here, eh?

[danz]

rofl....

[crttaz]

You said real racers? They run 13's? LMAO

13" rims, yes.

But when near 500 whp cars run 13's, it's because the driver is gay.

You and Chubs (Matt) would make a great pair. Rob could be the backup quarterback

You need some coaching on your driving.  Post full timeslips, and preferrably in-car video.

[Stealthmode]

I don't have in car video.

  My first run being the best, but when I launched the tires grabbed and it bogged down. Knowing I couldn't change my launch right there I aired up the tires from 10psi (starting press.) to 12psi. My first run I also bounced off the limiter in 4th a couple times. My only other clean run (3rd) I decided to shift to 5th, which only took time and mph off the run.

  I guess it has been about 6 or 7 years since running at the track. My consistency is good, but the times weren't there. I'm working on a gsr trans with lsd right now, and upping the launch to 7k. That should help the start as well as the limiter tapping at the finish.

[Corey]

what tranny are you maxing out 4th gear on 25" slicks with? do you only rev the car to 7000?

even a JDM ITR trans with 25" tires will do 116 at 8200.

[Stealthmode]

My limiter is set at 8200. It's a B16 tranny.

  Looking at different calculators online has me thinking that real world and online calculators aren't always what they're cracked up to be. This calculator

http://www.fatboyraceworks.com/gears/index.php?MaxRPM=8200&TireDiameter=25.00&GearRatio1=3.23&GearRatio2=2.105&GearRatio3=1.458&GearRatio4=1.107&GearRatio5=0.848&GearRatio6=0&FinalDrive=4.4&TireWidth=195&TireAspect=55&RimDiameter=15&MaxRPM_2=8200&TireDiameter_2=25.00&GearRatio1_2=3.23&GearRatio2_2=2.105&GearRatio3_2=1.458&GearRatio4_2=1.107&GearRatio5_2=0.848&GearRatio6_2=0&FinalDrive_2=4.4&TireWidth_2=195&TireAspect_2=55&RimDiameter_2=15&Calculate=Calculate%2FGraph&Compare=1

claims that 4th gear on my setup ends at 125.26 MPH

[89hatchsir]

Take into count tire diameter. The calculator should be pretty close if you were on stock street tires.

Needs m0ar truck, that thing is sweet.

You missed the part of the calculator that said, "or XX.XX" tires", which is where I put 25.00

1300 ft/lbs and 4 monitors is always sweet.

that dirtymax is tits, nigcock.

[junkyard racer]

I was just at bonnie doons for the sunday night cruise in. a hardparker vw jetta pulled out and let the one wheel peel fly. I thought of you steve. 

[Joseph Davis]

Bog is bad, that's when shit breaks.

Take your goddamn laptop with you next time, change the FTL as needed because a huge change and then being unable to adjust from there isn't any way to run this show.

might look up the exact diameter of the tires at the manufacturer's website.  sometimes an advertised 25" really means 24.75 or 25.25.

[LS1pwNzJ00]

Fuck yeah, what does that shit run?  m0ar pix now!

[Corey]

doesnt matter, at the top end of the track a 25" slick is probably 26" tall due to growth.

i was trapping 116 on 23" slicks with a b16 trans and 8600 rpm.

I was under the impression we agreed on 7k, but it somewhere in the retuning process it was left or set at 5k.

It runs a 35' trailer with honda civics on the back. Like it ain't no thang I might add.
