What's your thoughts on this?

 

The ONLY place to go (In my opinion) is RCTS Canada. I can't seem to find their website though.

What are you looking to do by dyno'ing the car?

 

Well I used to 1/4 mile my car every Friday at Race City, but I don't think it's a good idea since I purchaced an S2000. I acutally have a stack of time slips (3 1/2 inches) that I have ran with my Civic. I've never broke anything major (knock on wood) and this is odd since I run it sometimes at 13-15 psi (50% with C12) with stock internals (13.8s q/m). I would like to establish a baseline / hp test before I proceed with anyting.

I'm afraid of the stories like broken diffs, shift problems, tranny gear breaks. I don't believe the S2000 was designed for drag racing.

So I would like to be a little more scientific about it. Oh dear, maybe i'm just getting old.

 

Is this the place just off Blackfoot and 42 Ave. S.E.? If it is, the guy's name is Reg. I was there last summer to watch my daughter's boyfriend dyno his 330Ci. He wanted to dyno mine but I really wasn't into that sort of thing. Maybe next year.

 

Yeah, Reg Reimer. He knows the deal!

Eugeneo - I've run my s2000 at race city (1/4 mile) for only one event. 3 runs. My best was a 14.6x which converted to about 13.7 at sea level that night...

I too, have a stack of 1/4 mile slips a few inches thick, all from my RSX Type S.

The S2000 makes me very uneasy about doing repeated 7,000 - 8,000 rpm clutch drops (I've only ever dropped the clutch 5 times the entire time I owned the car).

Road course racing at Race City is so much more fun!

 

koala, 14.6x is the same for me. I went down the track three times and realized my shifts were not going to get any better. I didn't want to run the clutch to get an extra 10th so I called it quits. Did you notice the RSX is much more difficult to take down the track? and also to get consistant times?

 

Hey koala, who do hang with at race city?

 

Yeah the RSX-S was much harder to get consistant times with because you had to deal with trying to feather out the clutch properly, fighting with the massive amounts of wheel-spin. Damn I hate FWD - the tires were most of the issue though. I'd squeal going into 2nd, and then chirp into 3rd... people thought the RSX was fast because of that, hahaha.

I haven't gone to Race City since July or so... I usually just go down on my own or with my roommate since we seem to always run into a few people we know, plus it seems like you can start talking to just about anyone with an import there... most everyone is in a really good, non-competitive mood... I love it.

I remember running this one guy in his Integra Type R... we must have raced each other 6 times in the one night... half the time I'd win and half the time he'd win.

 

Haha Ya people think my RSX-S is the fastest when I squeel in 2nd and then give a good chirp going into 3rd.

 

Your RSX is slow... come on, i beat you with the top down
