Ran my 3sgte at the track, 1/4 mile time Options

[DG_Performance]

I finally got to the track to run the car.
I babied it off the line(i got the 5s tranny) and i am only running 13 psi with 18" tires but overall i had good times.
1/4 mile times were at 14.4 and 14.5 the whole time
top speeds were 97 and 98 mph
i think if i run it again i am gonna put the stock 15" rims on and turn the boost to about 16-17 and see what happens!

I think 13's are easily within reach!

lol, how come my car ran 14.01 and it didnt bring up such a long post.... anyway, i did the same , 14.4 (my friend ran the 14.0) ... it was my first time at the track too... but with 3rd gen lsd tranny i launched it (spun)... because i cant drive and i have ****ty tires...

i put on 15s , they were 205s vs my 225s but they were drag radials from my friends neon and smoked every car that was out there... srt-4 with few mods, sentra SER on spray (that beat the srt-4) , Pontiac GTP on SPRAY (that beat an STI), didnt get to race the STI , but went up against a turbo cavalier and killed it... and this is all in a row... like i lined up ... raced a car, beat it, and i came back to starting line to find another car, and another, plus like 2 re-runs... all of them got smoked with decent tires launching at 11psi switching to 15 PSI at 3rd gear. all UNTUNED.

anyway, as a race car... the 3sgte powered celica dominates FWD cars 1/4 mile and highway wise with the right tires and driver. i think the 3sgte has the biggest stock turbo of any 4 cyl engine.

as for turning up the boost.... just get water injection and/or race gas... if you can get your car tuned, that would be awesome... just go street racing for a while, learn to drive... and then head over to the track ... and when you blow your turbo, upgrade it to a 60-1 or any of the nice mr2 trubo kits out there, they have allot for 2nd gens.

for the launch, learn to work the gas pedal... with decent tires, do a low spin.... maintain the low spin threw out first and 2nd gear, and then when you hit 3rd floor it and turn up the boost if you have that option.

sorry for blablering, ive been out all nite racing and its 7am and i just got home and i gotta get to school by 9 am
