rsx slow as .......

[RICHEYRACER]

my buddy just bought a new rsx he went to the track with me saturday when i raced that guy from my other thread (kicked his ass) anyways he ran an 1/8 at the track in 11.4 seconds (:lame )at 63mph now what the hell is up with that his response time was .8 which isnt half bad for an amatuer he wants to know whatr he can do to get a better time out of it:banghead :sadly any help he needs it

is it the base rsx or an rsx-s? auto or stick? i know the base rsx is slow but that slow? maybe he doesnt know how to drive. :rolleyes:

If its the s its a manual and the only thing avaliable right now are your bpu's.

How many miled are on his car, if its less than 3-4000 he shouldn't have been going to the track anyway, thats bad for the car, but he should drop a couple tenths as the car wears in. Also, was he using proper brake-torque techniques? how experienced is he? what rpm was he launching at? what mods does he have done? when's the last time he cleaned or replaced his air filter and changed his oil? there's alot of things that can make a car run slow, especially a new one.

[RICHEYRACER]

the car has 4700 miles on it and no it wasnt the guy you saw at sears he has the type r spoiler but no altezzas:flip: his car is basically stock nothin special i told him not to take it to the track he has a set of drag slicks we put on before the race he hasnt changed the filter or oil yet in the car hes talkin about gettin a type r motor to put in it anybody know where he can get on cheap?

we are gonna mount a vidoe camera in the car to we can see what he is doing ikll try to upload it on the internet on my site when we do we will try again next week peace

haha thats wut me and my friends did last week at the track. we tied it to the headrest on the passenger seat. the video was pretty good but the whole time it was basically filming wut i see.

ya, definitely have him do the maintenance, first oil change takes out alot of shit and should be done within 3000 miles of delivery. You didn't answer how he was launching, that's pretty important with an automatic.

[RICHEYRACER]

i dont know how he was launching its pretty sad he bought the automatic hes already been bitched at for that but needless to say he got his ass handed to him by a beetle that night :wtf

[Dr. Disque]

well for drag an automatic isn't that bad, just have him read the stickies in the Drag racing forum.
