5th is OD, so you will have a 1:1 ration in 4th gear in either the 5 spd, 4 spd, or auto. At best, the R200 came with a 3.7:1 rear gear ratio. The 4 spd came with a 3.364:1. That would save you 1 second at most in the 1/4. So you drop from 18.4 to 17.4 - does it even matter when it is that slow?Originally Posted by 280zx 2by2

Ouch...
Actually, I just found a 3.9 that was available for his 2+2 if it was made after 8/79. He might be able to gain about a 0.5 sec if it is that high. maybe 17 flat if lucky, and engine and tranny are fresh and not worn.

Would he need a cage if he got that?
For some reason I doubt that. For the record the Integra guy and I aren't on sides, you're just the hated one in here.
Actually, that Neon is about a 16.0 sec time. So about a second faster. The Integras usually are around 16.8-17.0, on those older models.
Real safe to be removing bumbers - some tracks like MMP and Commerce won't let you pass tech to run without them.

I know what the bumpers way, I'm saying either way my POS Neon will still beat you. It's not fast, but it's faster than that.Doubt what?
That the bumpers weigh that much or that I can take them off in 5 mins? Ok maybe 10 mins if I have to do it with just a 12mm box end.
I assume you are referring to the DA Integra and not mine.
No, he has to lose about 6 more seconds.

Yeah I know I was just kidding.
But see thats cool and all but.... it's still a stripped out neon with stickers driven by a fat man.
Have we even taken your fat ass in consideration in this?
YEAH BRO IM COMIN AT YOU.
Yes the kid with the shocker stickers and million dollar EP1 or whatever wheels.
Hell, that DA would outrun my Integra.
Seriously, it would.....I won't race mine.
That really is all you have isn't it? LOL
I'm still waiting on you to post what you look like since you like to judge me. Even if I was fat and weighed 250lbs you still would be a lot heavier than I would be.
I know my opinion isn't worth any more to you than a 1996 Dodge Neon, but I don't see anything "shit" about your two cars, man. I've owned both a 1980 Datsun 210 SW (my first slammed vehicle, circa 1988) and a 1996 Dodge Neon (my 1999-2000 SCCA regional champ car) and have loved them both. Each car has it's good shit and each car has it's bad ones. Well, the Datsun didn't, but you know what I mean. Later, QD.
FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!
MY WAGON WILL BEAT YOU BOTH. NOW SLASH THOSE WRISTS AND SHUT THE FUCKING WHINING UP!
Bozzio for president.
Oh yeah, My shit rolls down hill faster than any ones in this thread....
Wake up, morning's here, time to quit dreaming that you're fast.....

I just have to know - were the hoodpins functional, or stick-ons?
And where were your contingency stickers? They should be all over the car like Simons - after all, the wagon was running for Oakley, right.

ok congrats the 280zx would beat the old ass escort i had but it wont beat the integra case closed.
That depends on several things - tires, his rear gear, condition of car, and most important, the driver.
You are both so slow that it would be pointless to race - as everyone would fall asleep by the time you got halfway down the track.
"Racing is life. Anything before or after is just waiting." - Steve McQueen
BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shit just got real...
But the case was closed.
Shit I wish Dodge had contingency program like Mazda or Honda. The only stickers on my car now are paying sponsors or small contingencies for brake pads and what not. I left the top sponsorship decal the car was previously sponsored by the The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of America so I wanted to keep some of its history.I just have to know - were the hoodpins functional, or stick-ons?

either way both the pos escort i had ran faster and the integra runs faster if you dont belive check for yourself.

Ford Explorer forum does indeed = Case Closed.
Book'em Danno
and mine at ISD ran a 15.8 with 3rd gear running out at the last min.
You want us to say you are faster based upon the words of those who have banged their heads when their SUV rolled over?
"Racing is life. Anything before or after is just waiting." - Steve McQueen
Typo - you meant 18.5, not 15.8 .....
"Racing is life. Anything before or after is just waiting." - Steve McQueen
nope the first run i ran a 16.3 and the 2nd was 15.8
I'm sorry why are we talking about quarter mile times for an Escort?
cause i brought up the old piece i use to have saying it would bet his 280zx.
I wasn't - I was talking about the slow Integra in his sig. Same speed as a 280 - superslow.
"Racing is life. Anything before or after is just waiting." - Steve McQueen
But that isn't saying anything.
Where did it go when it ran out?
The Liquor store?, Blockbuster?, or maybe it just went to grab a bite to eat.
It went to hell.

How was it lowered, the regular zx front struts method and blocks in the rear?
When I get a mig Im going to go pull a set of front assemblies off of a 280zx or Maxima and try one of the cheap weld on ebay coilover kits... I still don't know what I'm going to do for the rear.
How close were you to hitting the tunnel at that height?
I heard that's not a nice place, but better than Old National Hwy on a Friday night.
Knowing QD (well, the little that I do), it was either heated springs or just flat out removing the springs (nobody ever said pimpin' was good for your back).
And yet I'm still not the one taking my car to the track and acting like its fast...
But still its sad that my 30 year-old daily driver that was produced during the height of the 80's gas crisis and was loaded down with almost 500lbs of additional safety, emissions, and superfluous 80's crap when compared to the s30, can come very close to out running a "racecar" and a million dollar ricer with a magical engine that was tuned by Merlin using alchemy.
LOLOL
So race cars can only be 200mph supercars now? Unless you have a clue what you're talking about, pay attention. We know you're in class right now.
My daily driver is faster than the ACR in a straight line. lol
