Not too bad overall though, 11.6 on a 50 shot matching my best NA pass of 11.6 kinda makes me want better air and a bigger shot! ;-)

Wait. The 50 shot made no difference? 😕
 
Cool stuff mang!

11.6 is great for your mods!

Last night at the strip here in indy my buddy did 10.5 in his K20 98 Civic beating a GTR. I asked him if its ok to post his vids here and he hasnt given them to me yet.

Gil start a track day/strip day results stickied thread! Lots of us have events coming up!
 
Help me understand here. Looking at the time stamps (for youtube, and your camera's timer) those look to be 13+ seconds, not 11.6. The m3 does seem right at 12s.

Am I subtracting incorrectly?

There may be a 13 second clip in there, I had a couple of 2.6+ 60's scattered in there especially in the left lane. I wish I had it recording later in the day when I ran a 18.9@62.... Had to clean my shorts after that run since I almost clipped the wall twice, but I kept it off the wall. Car rolled out about 80 feet and lost traction completely. They pulled me off and inspected my car thinking I oiled the track down but the tower called and said the car before me did. 😱 Glad they let me run through it and be the guinea pig. They did more cleanup after I went though. :\

Old best N/A Pass slip:

I'll get the new one up later.

Oh, I'm not unbelieving. I am more interested in what may be issues with your camera or something. That's why I asked for clarity and didn't say "nuh uh, liar liar!"
 
I can't wait for good air (Probably be November/December) to go back out. My shifts were off last time I went out so with air and the tune fixed I'll be set for a new best.

Nice runs bud, up the shot and catch up ^_^

Oh, i fully well know the camera is about 200% crap. It was a "cheap direct from china" ebay special. I'm actually happy with how well it works for the $30 or so I paid for it. I never wanted it to be gopro quality but I am a little disappointed that I can't get a good in-car shot to include the guages and at least a little sound. I may try to shield the mic or something (maybe there's a mic setting in the menu?) to see if I can get some sound out of it. Unfortunately the way it is now, the sound is so "overloaded" that it's painful so i'd rather have it off.

My first N/A pass of the day was a 11.9 so I had high hopes but at the same time I was nervous about running too good. I know I'm gonna get the boot for no full cage but i'd rather get booted for running a 10.99 as opposed to an 11.40. ;-)

I know that feeling. My first pass went 10.95, second went 10.96. I had an issue with the 2-3, and 3-4 shift hitting the limiter (tune wasn't changed for the passes) and was happy they didn't say anything to me. It was in the 80s when I ran and wanted my slip. I figure they didn't hassle me because the car looks and sounds stock.

Cooler air and fixed shifts, I'm hoping for 10.6-7s next winter.

Yeah, I've been skimming the edge for a while as you can see based on the date of the slip above. I want to put the bigger pills in and go for broke towards the end of the season though, i'm hoping to dip deep into the 10's but we'll see. Hooking is my biggest problem since my suspension is basically stock.

I run MT DR's which can bite, but the stock shocks and torque arm don't help. I have aftermarket LCA's and a PHR but without the torque arm I think i'm blindly wishing.

You need to relocate the torque arm to the chassis. I also run MT DRs, completely stock suspension, stock exhaust (with cats).. really stock everything, just a blower and a drag radial.

There's more than that I need to do. ;-)

Hook up my FJO Nitrous controller
Hook up my fuel pressure guage
fix my wideband
Torque arm
Shocks
...... hell, I don't even remember everything else
