New track times, went to the 1/4 mile Options

[mywhite94celicag...]

i went to the race track on saturday and it was import day so i decided to send my celica down a few times. heres my times

1st pass 17.392
2nd pass 17.247
3rd pass 17.279


i was told by a guy that knows alot about cars and drag racing that low 17s for a celica with only a few mods was pretty fast. he said that most celicas will run mid to low18's stock. i was like SWEET. i felt pretty good about that cause the guys that i went there with had a civic hatchback with amildly modified ZC 1.8 engine and he only ran a 16.893. that was his fastest time, all 4 or so other passes were slower then mine they were like 17.4 or 17.5. so that also made me feel pretty good. let me know what ya think, if they are slow or fast for the celica gt????

wow, a lot of misinformation in this topic.

zigy and Kwanza odviously know their Hondas, but there seem to be some misunderstandings here.

1) when zigy originally referenced the b18a/b he was mentioning it as a swap into a civic. yes its an integra engine, but its a common swap into civics, check out last month's SCC.

2) the new Si motor is a 2.0 and yes it is unlikely but not impossible for a factory 1.8 to put out 140 lbs or torque. I don't think its been done yet, but I'm sure we'll see it in the next couple years.

lets not fight over some words on the internet guys. odviously this was just a misunderstanding, so lets atleast have enough pride in ourselves to admit when we were wrong.
