1/4 mile ?

[Lodgey180]

whats everyones predictions on this upcoming event.

a few of us are getting together for a RWYB day at york and there is a little wager in it.
the competitors are.

lcr with a decat + air filter + dv30
ibiza cupra with cat back + 007p + revo stage 1 + air filter
Civic type r championship white with a cat back

what would your money go on ?

 

[willg]

definately not the type-r if it only has a cat back

 

[warren_cox]

I'm tempted by the Ibiza Cupra as it will have a weight advantage and the benefit of the remap. LCR may close back up toward the end of run, but very close. Which Mk of Ibiza is it? Even the Civic won't be far out of the mix as they do rev well, and can probably hit 60 in second, unlike the LCR.

You forgot to mention that Civic type r championship white has LSD.

Is the Civic EK, EP or FD? If it's FD then it's more likely the UK version but if the driver knows what he is doing, changes gear and keeps in VTEC, it'll put up a good fight! If it's EK or EP in that colour then it'll be the JDM spec with LSD, I'd be worried if it was the JDM EP as it's running the Integra DC5 lump and that's seriously quick in VTEC, however the JDM EK is still 180bhp and weighs less than the LEON (not sure about Ibiza). Cat-Back exhausts seem to work well on VTEC engines and claw a decent amount of torque from somewhere.

Anyway, if it's JDM EP, i'd go for that.

maybe different on a track just most typer r's iv seen always seem to get embarresed i just think their over rated just my view though everyones different i guess

 

[Lodgey180]

yes its the lsd model civic.. the brand new 09 plate ones

the ibiza is the mk3 cupra k03

im running decent rubber (toyo t1r) on my leon

should be close eh ?

 

[Fl@pper]

depends time wise on the track on the day really but ill say whichever wins the others will be 0.3 apart from each other around the 14.5/15.0 mark at a guess

+1 .

 

[Fl@pper]

just to add to help ya out too negotiate a track time only deal that way you don't blow ya load trying to beat the tree all day, reaction time is for pud bragging and championship timing

RWYB days just wait for green and go when ya ready and keep ya head to ya lane - ignore the other side, saying that no one ever does mind but if you at least try/think about it will help you get the best times.

and if you start getting higher mph during the day try and keep your wheelspin down more

 

[lordgibbness]

It'll all depend on the starts I'd say - so the car with the best traction off the line! Tell the LCR owner to get good tyres and an uprated DBM

Doubt the LSD will make much difference on a straight road though

Purely for the drag strip - try lowering the front pressures by 5-10psi and increase the rears by the same amount should help off the line too

 

[Lodgey180]

the lcr is me

i have toyo t1rs and already have a dbm
i need to get a few practise starts before i start putting some decent times in lol

thanks for the info

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

Its down to how the cars geared as well, although the LCR would eat the ibiza on the open road my money would be on the Ibiza purely because of the aggressive revo map that suits 1/4 mile runs very well

 

[Fl@pper]

be good to hear the results though see how close we got

 

[tgorman]

defianlty not the ibiza the k03 run out of boost pretty early and at the most will only be pushing 200bhp
if its the 225 lcr my money would be on that

 

[Fl@pper]

for a 1/4 sprint over 3 gears due to the weight and setup i'd go for the ibiza but will be about half a car length between em all if they were side by side

 

[volvic]

my money is on the civic

 

[willg]

are the new 09 civics the same as like 07 plate civics and so because arent they slower than the 02 models going off of a top gear program just a question please dont all pounce on me lol i thought they would have got better than a 14.5 - 15 1/4 mile my mate just run his starlet at pod n got a 14.3

I think the Civic is out of it really, both Seats have the turbo advantage and for a short sprint thats what you need. Im tempted to say the Ibiza but again like everyone has said it will be very close. But difinately the Seats as top 2

If the turbo boys can control their launch then it's a fair call, but if they slip up and deal up an overblown dose of throttle/wheelspin off the line it could be over before it has started and they'll be chasing the Ricewagon from the off.
