Today I went with a couple friends for my first trip to the track! We went to St. Thomas Raceway Park Drag-strip. I had a bunch of fun learning how to run the quarter mile and was happy to get some baseline times for the car with a stock motor. Gotta start somewhere! In the future I hope to make this thing faster in a straight line and then we can come back to see the improvements!

just a lil advice to save you a headache. i did a drag day in my gts once and on my one two shift, gears, and it made noise when it happened. i figured out that the clutch is reversed in eclipses and if you drop it too sudden, the friction plate can wedge itself into the center of the spring plate. so be careful with letting out the clutch or you could end up having your car up on jack stands taking quite a few weekends dedicated to figuring out how to pull the trans out with the unibody being in the way like i did. lol

Thanks for the info! What times did you end up running with your GTS? I do know the clutch is a push type clutch but I haven't heard of that specific issue. I do know its common for these transmissions to make a rattling noise, which I experienced after this track day. I found online "Problem Description A rattle noise may be noted from the clutch area while the car is at idle. If the noise changes or goes away when the clutch is depressed the fault is commonly with the clutch disc springs. It has be reported that a revised clutch disc is available from Mitsubishi to correct this concern." I still have the factory clutch in the car at the moment and there is no slip yet but when it starts to go I'll be able to put in a new throwout bearing, flywheel, clutch with not messed up springs etc. All the good stuff which it sounds like yk all about.

15.5 seconds is about the normal 1/4 mile time that a stock 3G 5 speed GT will run, but since you have a few mods I think you could do better. Your dropping the clutch at too high of an RPM and your wasting a lot of time spinning and then sometimes dead hooking the tire. I think you could do fairly close to 15 seconds flat at about 92-93 MPH if you could get off the line better without spinning.

Im sure you're correct. This was my first time ever going to a prepped track + I almost never launch the car from first to save my clutch and normally will do roll racing. I had no idea what to expect, still figuring out what the happy medium is between enough rpm so I don't bog down but not too much so I don't spin which is much easier said then done. In the future I would like to get a LSD to help with the wheelspin and a good 2step system will help with consistent launches after I figure out what rpm is best.

Thank you i appreciate it do you feel a difference with the lighter wheels ? And better launch with grippy tires ? Because my spider gt blows the tires off sick

Yes they are much lighter than the stock wheels and are 3 inches wider. Better acceleration, better cornering, better braking, less work for your suspension, better everything. In the dry I can hook no problem and even in the wet the grip is pretty unreal. Gotta go to the track to test because I haven't found the tires limit yet lol. If I got a LSD, it would be even better!
