So i went out to HRP in no intent to make any passes (due to the horrid condition of my street tires). Well, as soon as i got there the track bug bit and i immeadiatly started roamin around tryin to find a buddy who'd let me use their tires for a pass or two. My buddy robert who has a white HCI notch said he'd let me use his slicks for 2 passes. Apperantly that was 1 too many.
I had NEVER had the car on slicks or anything other than some street tires and let me tell you the feeling of gettin slammed into your seat on that first pass was ALMOST worth breaking everything in the end. I shoulda known i had too much tire when i couldnt even do a burnout without draggin the front end (on the brakes! even after the water box). The car is completely STREET weight. the spare, jack, etc. everything is still in the car, as is every piece of interior.
1st pass - staged at like 4000-4400, dont really remember i had so much adrenaline
-1.81 60'
-8.52 @ 80.83mph 1/8th
-13.40 @ 101.1 mph 1/4
A big improvement over my 13.94 @ 99 on street tires.
Heres the vid.. sorry its piss poor quality because i forgot my camera and my gf was filming off her phone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrHbPCwdLk8
2nd pass - Here i was really concentrated on my driving as the first pass i was just gettin used to the tires; i knew it had more left in it by being even more aggressive on the shifts. I staged right @ 4500rpm preloaded on the clutch... yellow... yellow. yellow... and KABOOOM After slapping the limiter about 10 times and wiping the tears off my steering wheel i get out of my car and push it back to the parking lot. I snapped one of my axles so bad that as we were pushing the car the axle and the wheel were like a foot out of the wheel well ready to fall out
Still, all said and done, the first pass still proves that there are some good times to be had with just bolt-ons with a stock HCI.
