No offense, but please be safe. You don't have a lot of driving experience. At least consider not taking too many risks. I don't want to here about you or the guy you are racing running over somebodies grandma who was crossing the street.
{lecture mode off)

For 1/4 mile racing, you need to get a better launch than they do. Launch high enough to get a little wheelspin so you dont bog. Too much wheelspin will hurt your time. [for a stock car] Redline 1st, shift 2nd around 6900, shift 3rd (if needed) around 6500. Drop front tire psi to 20-25 for street tires.

thanx for you who replied

according to the specs i could take a civic stock and umm to jacen i have been racing cars for a while not s2000 supras so i have a little bit but i dont plan to whip up on it too much thanx again

get a few bolt on's before racing those honda's or they will take you up top when they are on the "big" cam.

just be sure to take any potential buys to a mechanic and have it checked out really good. make sure it has a clean title and stuff, do a carfax check. i bought my 97 se-r w/ 26k miles for $9,500 a month ago. so the MAX price i would pay for a 98 would be around $10,500, that sound right guys? just don't get ripped off and make sure you REALLY like the car, don't rush in to things. good luck,
later,

check WWW.kbb.com (http://WWW.kbb.com) you can use this as a guide. I paid $6000 for a 95 200sx with 60k miles.

Damn I feel bad now cause i paid $12,200 with a 4 year/48,000 mile extended bumper-to-bumper warranty on my 97 SER that only had 30,546 miles on it. Should I feel bad? But then again it took me 3 months to find this car so I wasn't going to let this one pass up on me.

nyce,

umm to be tru to you in my auto trader it says a 97 se-r with 30000 miles for 9 grand so i think u got a little bit jiped but you have a car that i want so ur the man

:-D

The rarity issue is kinda true. I had a very hard time finding one for sell in my area. (DFW) 12grand is a little much, but if you love your car it shouldn't matter that much......but you could have gotten JWT cams and ECU for the extra money....

I would look for a 95-97. Remember, the 98's and up had the new emissions shit and ecu stuff and i think they don't have a LSD. The 95-97 are slightly more mod friendly and have a LSD. If you're going to change the ECU, the 95-97's are easier too, no extra rewiring. And you probably will change the ecu http://laf.cioe.com/~benbobbo/NonCGI/smile.gif Besides, the 95-97 will be cheaper!
