Went To Track Last Night [email protected]!

[TurbostyleR]

Hi all,

I thought I might just brag a little about my efforts at the track tonight. I rocked up pretty late to the 7-11 session as i woke up at about 8:15 from an afternoon nap. Thankfully I had the car prepaird and ready to go. So I drove down to willowbank, got through the front gates, changed my plugs, and lined up for my first pass...

I put a little bit of timing in through my hand controller as my current tune is very safe and I have a bit of headroom to play with... Anyway I dropped the tyre pressure in my M/T ET street radials (255 50 16) to 16psi and i was ready to go...

Did a bit of a soft burnout as i didnt want to break anything with the sticky tyres and staged up...

I took onboard about 5500rpm and let the clutch out softly and got a bit of wheelspin of the mark and went down the track full steam ahead...My mates where waiting at the time box with thumbs up so i knew it was a good pass - [email protected] with a 1.8 60 foot...

I was pretty happy but i knew the car had more in it...

On inspection my boost dropped off a bit due to the timing advance so i played with my AVCR to get boost back upto 19psi...

I went back and this time put a little bit more extra timing in as well as a pinch of extra fuel and did a bit of a bigger burnout...I staged up and dialed up about 6500-7000rpm on board and let the clutch go fairly nicely, and the car just planted its arse end down and took of like a m0therfarker! As I was crossing the line i noticed that my shiftlight went off as well...i thought i may have gone up a tad in mph...

When i went back to the timebox my mates where cheering and told me that i reeled of an [email protected]!!!

Whats more impressive I thought was the 1.6 60foot and not breaking anything!!!

Well thats my story for tonight, there is PLENTY more left in the current setup, all I have to do now is play with my cam gears add a bit more boost and hopefully I'll crack an easy 10 at around the 135mph mark on 21ish psi and pump fuel!

A big thanks goes out to Ben and Rob at East Coast Customs for helping me out today with my suspension setup, without their help there is no way I could have done the 1.6 60 footer at the track! Thanks fellas!

Congrats.

Bet it feels great after doing the work yourself.

[2rismo]

AWESOME WORK!!!

Well done mate - 10's can't be far away!!!

[Russco]

Well done dude, saw the pass! What MPH did you clock half track?? - managed 103mph in mine but had bent the tailshaft so had to back off at 3/4 track. Interested to see how it compared to your timeslip considering your time!

aaah sweet, you didnt happen to capture it on tape did ya?? lol

Im spewing I didnt take out a vid camera!

What car where you in?

I was doing 100-101mph half track which is suprising, i thought I would have done more as the top end gain seems pretty big considering my shitty power curve...

I should be going back to the track on the 25th if all goes according to plan with 30-60rwhp hike in power midrange and hopefully 80-100rwhp of top end power in my power curve with a bit more boost and a play with my cam timing.

I dont know if i should spend the bucks and get adjustable rear camber arms in order to drop my 60 footer into the 1.5s...

Top work dude, you've had this car ages now, and it keeps getting faster

I dont know if i should spend the bucks and get adjustable rear camber arms in order to drop my 60 footer into the 1.5s...

Would help fetching that elusive 10 in conjunction with your power gains, and in the grand scheme of things is $220 bucks really that much?
