whoever you are talking to at the track its rubbing off, "my turbo spools to fast" wtf, of course it does should...the faster the better. yeah i love turbo lag, so i want my turbo to come in full spool at 5K.

Some lag is good. Who in their right mind would want to be fully boosted at idle? That's just ridiculous, if you were fully boosted at idle, launching would be a bitch.

you changed the clutch and lost .2 seconds, not bad. its only a N/A car, turbo cars need load to spool the turbo...obviously i cant get enough load if there is not gripping of the clutch, that is the difference from n/a to boost.
Turbo cars need load to spool? WTF are you talking about?!?!rbos need exhaust gas velocity and volume to spool. The car doesn't have to be moving to boost. Revving the motor will cause it to boost.

i wasnt there to grab 60 foot times. i didnt even bother launching, unless 1500K rpm is waht you would call a launch.

Right, you didn't even bother to launch. What is the point of going to the track if you're not going to give it 100%. A majority of your time is attributed to your launch. So don't sit there and tell me tha you weren't try to get a good launch. 1500K, yeah that's what I was launching at with my bad clutch,feathered ever so lightly. Still managed to run a consistent 15.2 with a bad clutch.

yes, i could beat a integra/rsx/civic Si so on and so on, on the street, but i can get beat by a geo metro at the track.
I agree, the track is very different than the street. I still don't believe everything you say.

not bad, they are aweful. 2.49 was the best..that is gay, that is when i lowered the tire pressure to 20psi. i weigh in at 2200 lbs i should be at 2.1-2.2s all day long...

and my clutch is as bad as i am saying, just look at the mph at the 1/8 mile, they are all differnt.

It's a D16, it's not a Mustang, don't expect a 2.1. Yes, I always knew your hatch was a fat pig. You just confirmed it. All the 1/8th tells me, is that you are an inconsistent driver. I'd love to face you in bracket racing.
