ahhh, compare your 2 posts to his 4621 jack.

 

yeah. i have seen type Rs with stock engines run 13.9s, so a light hatch with bolt ons should be capable of near that. and I run high 14s with my Im-not-a-drag-racer-but-im-drag-racing launch, on a stock b18c(1) in a 95 coupe. so it depends a lot on what model of hatch he has, and exactly what mods, and how good of a driver he is. chances are, his first couple of runs will be in the 15s, but its capable of low 14s to high 13s. in a cx or vx hatch, 13s are likely, not just possible. my engine comes stock with at least 15 hp less, no LSD, and he has bolt ons. ive seen the difference trannys can make, and with an ITR trans, i could be in the lower half of 14s easily. if you are running an eg hatch with a b18c5 in the 15s, you need to fix it, or practice a lot.

 

If you go by "the number of post=car knowledge" then you are in for a world of hurt. Post count is the most meaningless thing in the world... its what forum groupies get off on.

That being said, Sacs is a very knowledgable person and I have no doubt in his abilities, but to say that because he has x amount of post is the most retarded thing I've ever heard.


I'm still not a believer... my b18 (stock w/exhaust, before boost) was running a 15.2 at the track, no joke. but low 13's on a b18 without some major mods... no way.

 

Look, I know that you cant go by the number of post. But, I know Sacicons, and this is the only reason I said what I said about the posts. The man knows his stuff. I wouldn't have said this for any one else I didn't know, but even if they did have 10,000 posts.

 

your 15.2 was also in a heavier car. what elevation were you at? oh, and i guess i wasnt quite stock, i have a POS exhaust that some hack at a muffler shop made, crush bends and all, a cone filter on a stock pipe, and my flywheel, which might make a small difference. but thats a pretty light set of mods. i still think that 13s are possible. esp with some weight removal. and low 13s, no way. im talking 13.99. or low 14s.
