Helmet house in Vic park.

Nup... I suck bigtime... Cant drive at all. Best I could manage was a 14.18 ah well, I think I'll go buy a moped.

[N I B]

Bad luck but good on you for having a go, is your boost still falling

over up top.

[rob77]

The stupid thing is, my 60foot time was 2.4 (which is crap, but getting better its usually around 2.5) and my quickest terminal speed was 104.5mph so thats up as well... I just cant seem to get from 0-400 any quicker today than 14.18 *shrug* I give up. Should just buy a GTR and be done with it.

[N I B]

Gavs GTR did 12.6 with 277rwhp. Did yor boost stay up?could

try Turbo Viagra. Street meets have the start beams moved back

1.6m to look after the race line so your doing about 2.0s and

13.7-8s on the real 1/4 1.6m at the start is heaps.

[caminperth]

bummer rob... what do you think was happening? were you loosing a heap of traction at the start or bogging down? what lauch revs were you using?

[rob77]

Ok, my best terminal speed was 104.52mph that run was:

60' 3.003 sec (wheelspin, didnt grab too well)

330' 6.899 sec

660' 9.943 sec

1000' 12.516 sec

ET 14.680 sec @ 104.52mph

funnily enough I ran a 14.698 with a terminal speed of 89.82mph, 60' time of 2.561, so I'm beginning to wonder if terminal speed really means diddly squat. My best 60' time was 2.422 that run:

60' 2.422 sec (bit of wheelspin)

330' 6.234 sec

660' 9.322 sec

1000' 11.945

ET 14.158 @ 102.27mph

All my launches were done at 2000-2500 revs and dropping the clutch, I think I had about 1/2 throttle on but I cant remember, everytime I bogged down or wheelspun. I know my pineapples are lose cos they have been making ratteling noises, the workshop wouldnt over-tighten them so they've come loose again. Next time I am gonna insist they overtighten them. But my problem lies in the fact I cant get the car to hookup right with no wheelspin or not bog down. I've got 225/50 dunlop sp9000's on the rear wth around 20psi in the back, the only thing I didnt do was a burnout, but I dont really think it would have helped. Any idea's guys cos I'm getting pissed off spending $30 and not getting the times the car is capable of.

rob - i got my best results with a 3000rpm launch - but it did bog down a bit..

hmm me confused.. the car sounds like it should do alot better.. do you need to work on your gear changes? hows the 1st-2nd change? you can loose quite a bit of momentum if that change isn't quick...

[rob77]

My gear changes are good, its the launch that is letting me down I feel. I was only there for 30 minutes cos the missus rang me and apparently my mother in law was a bit upset I wasnt going to be there for lunch, so at 12:30 I sped back home. There was **** all people there, so I reckon its the best time to go, in 30 minutes I got 5 runs, thats better than any wednesday night session and it takes 2-3 hrs to get that many runs.

[Neo]

Dont tell Cambell that you got 5 runs in 30mins. He was almost ready to go late.

Rob,

Dropping the clutch tends to result in the wheelspin/bogdown scenario. I've found that times improve dramatically if you slip the clutch, not so good for the clutch though.

See'ya:burnout:

[rob77]

When you say slip, you mean ride it till it grabs?

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Yeah, have it balanced on the friction point, and just use the handbrake to stop you moving forward. Then when the last orange is about to go, drop the hand brake and the car will ease off the line, no wheelspin or axle tramp.

See'ya:burnout:

[rob77]

hmmm... next time I go it will be with dave as he seems to be the only one who can drive among us

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Nah, Simon(Worksauto) knows how to drive aswell:D

See'ya:burnout:

1.6m at the start is the same as 1.6m at the end, and would make bugger all difference to the 1/4 time.

At 104mph, or 46m/sec, 1.6m extra track would add an extra 0.035s .... which at 14.18s would give you 14.14s quarter mile.

:uh-huh:

Rob, Get the pineapples tightened, they are meant to be sqaushed.

See'ya:burnout:

[rob77]

Yes, I feel they are holding me back heheh... they shouldnt be loose and making clanging noises anyway.

[Guest darkking]

Yer they are pretty good, i work with the guy that is head Scruetinear. just make sure every things is tight and safe.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

If there loose then it would mean more axle tramp I think, get it fixed, then you have one less thing to blame:p
