try drag radials first. easier on the drivetrain. pick of some BFg g-force kdws. then tell us how it went.
slicks make a hell of a difference. i ran 13.1 on street tires, and 11.50 on slicks. just depends on the power u make

slicks do help. i gotta d16y7 in my 96 coupe. so far 15.9 was my quickest and i know how you feel about the spining part, because i do the same thing as you. i spin like a bitch through first and second. i don't have enough money to get drag radials yet, but they would help with the traction part. so just get some good drag radials and try it. BTW, do you have LSD?? i got it in my car and my shit is stock, i guess i'm lucky though...
You know better; next time will be a ban.
slicks are cool if the street tire cars aren't in front of you eating up the rubber laid on the track.

Good Point!!!
You know better; next time will be a ban.
you got that right! check out what happened to my last tranny from me running slicks on the street all the time. it was fuckin worth it the because slicks on the street is the shit!!!
fuck it and get a set of slicks, their the same price as drag radials just about, depending on size.
you saying your car came stock with an LSD? ...or just saying that your car is stock yet you still put an LSD in it?
drag radials are the shit!! i got the BFG drags and i aws launching at 5000 in my "friends" boosted b16 and shit would ead hook.
No no..lol! naw man, my car isn't stock, it has a few things done to it like full 2.5 exhaust, including a high flow cat from the racing headers back, cold air intake, short throw, NGK plugs and wires. and how can i forget, it's got a K&N air filter on it! LIRL!!but yeah, it came stock with LSD.. wierd ain't it.

Oh god your car is like fully built! I didn't know. I apologize.
WTFE dude. now where in the post did i say it was fully built. why in the fuck would some one wanna build a D16Y7 anywayz?? i mean WTF!! it's retarded to fully build one if you ask me...and that is why i am saving up for a swap...
You know better; next time will be a ban.
I layed on the sarcasm pretty thick and you still couldnt taste it?
The breakdown: Your car is slow. Obviously, I was kidding.
like my sig. says...not as slow as you think it would be.
You know better; next time will be a ban.
Like your timeslip says. 15.9.
Its as slow as I thought.
damn 15.9 thats slow as shit. must be stock. what kinda car?
Civic copue with a d16y7, not much done to it. i mean not like it's gonna pull 14's stock. but still quick for what it has done to it though. and by the way, i din't try to act like it's the fastest thing, i just said it is fast for what it is.
You know better; next time will be a ban.
yeah just keep praticing your launch and getting traction next time at the track you chould be able to pull a mid 15. yeah i hear yeah. its a stock single slammer dont worry about it. spray the shit out of it and you'll be in the 14s.
later
How is it quick for what it has done? Is it supposed to run 17s?Civic copue with a d16y7, not much done to it. i mean not like it's gonna pull 14's stock. but still quick for what it has done to it though. and by the way, i din't try to act like it's the fastest thing, i just said it is fast for what it is.
Just don't run your mouth like you did in the gainesville thread when your car runs high 15s.
i don't wanna sound like an ass hole but.....i didn'tsay it was the fastest thing on here. besides, it's pretty damn fast when compared to the shit around where i live..
You know better; next time will be a ban.
Oh no I recall a "I'll race your ass" in the gainesville thread. You still can race me, if you want to put your money where your mouth is.
And you live in Gainesville, I grew up there. Not alot of fast cars there that come out around the ricers. I can remember busting alot of ass there in my 240 about 2 years ago. 15.9 is still way too slow, even for Gainesville.
I ran a 12.8 at 113 in my 240 and there were a few 13 second cars up there too.
You're just singing a different tune now I guess.
i don't race for money, not because i affraid or anything, but, i do it for fun..the only time i would race for money would be if i had a Built Supra, 240, Evo, or STI..definetly not race for money in a civic, unless it was a 10 sec car.. see what i'm saying?? BTW, i was talking about someone else that was saying he would beat somebody elses car. i simple said go run the other guy and then talk..
You know better; next time will be a ban.
ok evry 1 quit your bitchin on my thread lol idfk...n e way i love the d series and it is undereatimated i mean hell i beat gsr in 1/4 with d series but i just tring the shock and aahhh for when i show them i beat them with a d series but hey i just settin my goal for now as a low 14,thanx for all the advise evry 1 .
I don't mean to be harsh, but honestly NOONE "needs" slicks for a 15 sec car. Sorry, but that's the truth.
Slicks are great for traction and breaking things. If your car is not built to take it, save your money and build it TO take it. Yes, they are the best way to get traction, but on a 15 sec car so is a good set of NEW tires. If you are spinning so much in a 15 sec car, you have other issues like bald tires or dumping the clutch at 6000 rpms or trying to race on 13 in tires.
I have to agree with 1439....why bother?
