Honda East Justin Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 What's going on? My name is Justin and I reside in the "lovely" city of Toledo, OH. I was doing some googling and came across the forum. A little about me...I work in Parts Sales at Honda East Toledo and I've been here for just over 4 years. I use to be big into sport compact cars, but after blowing up a few transmissions and a long block, I decided that bikes would be a cheaper investment. Previous car - 2004 Dodge Neon SRT-4Current DD - 2008 Dodge Ram Quad cabCurrent Bike - 2008 Suzuki HayabusaAnd some pics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honda East Justin Posted May 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 (edited) What did your SRT run?Best it ever ran was 11.51 @ 122mph. It blew up before I could make a clean pass on the bigger nitrous pills. We tried to set-up the car on "kill mode" with coil-overs and gutted interior, but it let go 2 days before the track. Realistically, it probably would have ran a low 11.4x or high 11.3x Edited May 26, 2012 by Honda East Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honda East Justin Posted May 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Thanks for all the welcomes! and what is the Busa running? Getting 9's consistently?Yeah, apparently I'm stuck at the mid 9 mark. I made 6 passes at Milan 2 weeks ago and every pass but one was a 9.6x. I think I need to look into my suspension a little more, not to mention that I changed my gearing and I wasn't quite use to it yet. I know the bike has a lot more in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the bike has a lot more in it:welcome:Get a drag shock from brocksperformance.^^What Nick said - And if you havent stripped any weight off the bike, BST wheels and micro batts chop an easy 25lbs and an edge to cut another 10th or 2 - especially with the drag shock and proper setup. What gearing? Where's your tach on the launch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What gearing? Where's your tach on the launch?I don't have BST money, but I've looked in getting a drag shock. I've been wanting to make the move to a 07-up GSXR-1000 just because I have a hard time wanting to "ruin" my street bike by making it the way I want.Gear is -1 front +3 rear..... so 17/46 at 4.5in over SWB. I'm leaving at 5k RPM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm leaving at 5k RPMI completely agree, I would love to strip mine and fit some BST's for trackdays just to make it that much more than it is. Then I remembered how much I'm diggin' commutes to work just as a day brightener, so its not practical in the least. So until its replaced with another streetbike leaving it cast to the toy bin, I wont ruin what I need day to day just to use for MORE track performance. I'll still have fun with it as is.You could put a 6" stretch to use and be fairly cheap to bring that 5k up to 6, just have to roll the clutch a bit more Oh, you running at Wilmington's OhioMile? I'm looking at next season before I can at this point but wanna spectate at least Edited June 14, 2012 by Hellmutt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschaf Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Welcome. I bought my 250r from Honda East in march. After the ride back it was obvious to me why you guys over there are into the straight line stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
