well, take a picture of it and use a photo uploading site like photobucket



or hell email me the pic, my email should be available in my account info



my j2 ran a 17.3 stock (well, as stock as i could have it, had a randoms special CAI and a obx header, nothing else) with a adjusted elevation of 8k(air density stuff)



with CAI, full 2.25 mandrel exhaust, header, fidanza flywheel, act clutch, kumho 712s, eibachs, gr2s, 1.8 cam, 1.8 ecu, 1/4 tank of gas, no interior, and me taking a huge dump before the race i went 16.3 when i finally got a sub 2.2 60 foot (f*cking hard to do with those tires, i wonder what i wouldve ran on the nitrous with slicks)

Really? Really?!

Second chances don't come often. A simple response was posted to a question that you asked. No one accused you of anything and yet the defense is already being mounted.









That said there is a lot of info that could help here:

What kind of tires are you running?

Any weight reduction?

Suspension mods? A 2003 model was likely sold in '02 so we're talking a car that's damn near a decade old. Things get tired, and wheel hop happens.

Basic maintenance? Go fast mod are fun, and showing results on dyno are good, but if the basic necessities are missing it's 90% for not.

As WytchDctr asked, temp and altitude?

Do you have an official time slip? That should document the majority of the important environmental data.

Skill always comes into question, and at 17 it hard to have a lot of the experience unless you were one of the lucky few who did kart at a young age and honed a professional career. I'm guessing this is not the case. Network with a lot of older, more experienced drivers.

wow, even slower than i previously thought if you have a 5-speed..



the OPs area is relatively low in elevation if i recall, around 600-800 feet.



i believe on your pwnt account you said something about a ~16.2 with I/H/E.. that, combined with a 5-speed, that elevation and relatively low temps all year round (summer tops out at about 80, winter dips uber low) i would say its a pretty slow 1/4.



we had a member run a VERY low 15 with almost the same modifications. OdessitPashka 15.1@90.6 NA. i believe all he had was a header, full exhaust and CAI.. possibly some other SMALL modifications, but nothing to really BUMP down the time..



most guys with I/H/E and a 5-speed are around the 15.6-15.8 range if i recall.

No way can somebody do 15,6 with a 4 cylinder 2003 tiburon.. NEVER last time I went to the dragstrip some guys were there with some tuscanis and their very best (stock) was 15,7 so no way can somebody do 15,6 loll.. with the older model meaby but not this one!!



And for tibbi :



tires: Genera Exclaim Uhp 215/45/17 ( would help with smaller tires I know lol )

Weight reduction: around 75 pounds of stock weight..

Suspension: All in best condition ( new ball joints , new link kits , everything A1.

Maintenance: Oil changed every 4000 km the car has no troubles what so ever .

Temp and altitude.. dont know but it was around 30 degrees celcius out.

Time slips I do have but don't know how to upload them here ??.. best is 16,6 without CAI like I said
