1.4 Standard Micra 1/4 Mile

[rlees85]

Just FYI really,

ran the micra at santa pod yesterday, as you do when your bored on a sunday. its a standard 1.4 (on steelies) with k&n panel filter, removed aircon and thats it. i didnt even remove the spare wheel! :O or the lemon sherberts! it was just for fun really.

here are the times anyway, i really have no clue if they are good or not but it was slightly quicker then my brothers 1.6si fiesta.

run 1:
reaction: 0.211
time: 17.923
speed: 75.91

run 2:
reaction: 0.640
time: 17.754
speed: 74.99

run 3:
reaction: 0.604
time: 17.652
speed: 75.12



is that good?? lol

 

[superls]

how come the last 2 reactions were 3 times slower than the first? were u asleep? lol

 

[Ian]

Yeah thats comparable with a 1.3, with a manifold i bet them things would fly. Not sure what had to be done to get one to fit being dual lmbda and all.

 

[rlees85]

thats not a problem, it will be janspeed'd i know how to do that even with gaytronic ecu... and no i wasnt asleep, i never done drag racing before so it was like "whens it going go green? huh? wot? ****! its green!"

i no what you mean mu first one was almost a second, summat like 0.87.

lol

According to an internet site (so it must be true) my reactions are 0.54 seconds so your not too bad, apparently if its less than 0.5 it didn't count anyway.

 

[curtis]

yeah the reaction in drag racing is .5, if you reacted below this it means you moved before the green went on.

The trick is apparantly to launch when you see the last orange light because by the time your brain reacts to that you've probably launched on green! I've got my old timeslips somewhere but it doesnt matter i'll be getting some new ones at the end of the month!

[Stani1029]

not comparable to rlee's time though since yours is more extensivly modified..

and from what i've heard from many many many people is that crail is faster then pod.

i bet it'd tell a different story at the pod

 

[rlees85]

bit off topic but who fancies selling me a janspeed? lol

 

[Antony]

i measured my 0-60 time the other day, realy unsure about accuracy but low 8's is about right...

janspeed and straight through, Avanti cams, Head work, Manifold de-burring and no interior...

i need a re-map and some 1600 stuff..
