MX-3.com

After having my 92 gs for six months I finally ran my mx would have done it sooner but had a 3 mouth licinces suspetion and I finally got a battery brace. The best out of 8 runs was a 16.92@79.93mph thats with 17's 3\4 tank of gas, taking out the rear sets and spare. all with a 122000 miles stok motor and paceseter shoet shifter.

Automatic or manual?

Well, that MPH is pretty low for a manual, which is why I was hoping maybe it was a slushbox. MPH indicates power, so I'm guessing you're a smidge down. Launch and shift points?

Nothing wrong with Automatics although it would be nice if i could be able to drive my Dads MR2 with out looking stupid by grinding.... Stalling ECT ..... plus i've done some pretty wild shiznit in my auto RS <P>although it would of been nice if the Mini dealer here didn't have misleading radio ads otherwise we woulda gotten a Mini Cooper S and sold the MR2 <p>[ December 14, 2002: Message edited by: sean_hibbitts ]

Hmmm. Dont you have a rev limiter? I know if I try and go over 6500 it starts misfirin cylinders.

yes i have a revlimiter in nutaral it starts pouncing at 7700 and in gear it would usally go to 7700 but sometimes it started at 7500

Don't you love the sound of a motor banging off the rev limiter in neutral <p>
baaabaabababababaaaaabaaabbababaaababbab<p>This is what engineers dread when they release a motor to the general public

when u launch an automatic do u just floor it or do u put in into neutral? some idiot was first in line in his new automatic saturn sc2 and ruined my first drag experience. he blew his tranny and i had to push him off the track at palmdale in the summer. i ran 17.2 there stock. and "custom distributor" it cut out a lot and died a few weeks later. it was so hot out this old couple in their own ford lightenings were running consistent 15.1's and my friends type-r was having a hard time runing 15.2
bit of topic but i just looked at the specs for
the 1.6 sc... and 160/6000 155/4000 it starts pulling a little less but sooner than a kl... im impressed...

Well when I race an automatic, I hold down the brake and rev the motor up right before the torque converter locks up and take off from there.<p>
Putting it in neutral and dropping it into drive is the stupidest ****ing thing anyone could do.
