Paul,

I am absolutely in love with this car man.

Seriously insane stuff...possibility of passenger run?

Ive actually put it away for a few months...its not quite sorted and my race licence and log book expired yesterday.

We are working on setting the car up so it launches consistently...it either bogs down of the line or blows the tyres off the thing. When it hooks up im using most of the lane to keep it off the walls so the suspension is not where it should be. I kid you not this thing will run 8's or at the least very low 9's when its right...im in no doubt of that.

The engine is producing over 1000hp on only 29psi of boost!

so how did compak attack go? did it run the 9.44 or 9.1? pic looks good. :sick:

Due to the fact we were unable to get the power to the track it ran 10.00 @ 144

the 60' was a very slow 1.8...4/10's slower than my best...4/10's in the 60 is 8/10ths at the end of the track so it was a 9.20 car with that power.

its a really hard car to drive now...Dave (T04GTR) said he was surprised how difficult it actually was to get the car down the track. Racing a car of this calibre is not as easy as some may think, there is a very fine line between bogging the launch, blazing the tyres, keeping it off the walls and a clean quick pass. I tip my hat to guys who have ran sub 9.50's in a GTR on radials as its not childs play.

Being part of the Godzilla Motorsport team now means i have access to one of the best teams in the world at car set-up. Mark Jacobsen knows exactly what the car now needs to perform and we will be making some changes to the car, setting it up to launch in the same manner as his 7 second car. A lot of these set-up changes involve keeping the driveline loaded prior to launch and keeping the turbo on boost as the clutch locks up. Scott Kuhner from Insight Motorsports has also joined the team and his knowledge has also been well recieved.

Ive got 39 passes under my belt now so im getting more and more experience with how this stuff is done. To run sub 10's on my 24th pass was a massive achievement...to run sub 9's on twice as many passes would be incredible.

all i hear is excuses!! haha just kidding mate. well done. 140+mph is very rapid! it must feel damn quick now. :sick:

the car will run the time...but can the driver?

i ran a great pass the other night...a few said it looked like a 9.5...but i deep staged and reset the timing board...no time was recorded. The Vi-PEC data will tell me roughly what it ran and give me an exact MPH.

:D :D

Thats a shame..

I'm sure it will come out better than ever tho!

still tho...i want a passenger run!

was wondering if you could put the dyno sheet up for your new set up? i remember you making a comment on my head not being put together correctly after posting a sheet on my SPL 51R with 62R rear and was wondering if i could compare your graph with mine to see how much earlier yours comes on, seeing you have the correct head work.

cheers

no

i have a better idea...ill post up 2 graphs...same car, same dyno...HKS T51R SPL BB Turbo...two different heads...nothing else changed.

that would be much nicer to look at. :P

bshhahhaahhaha, paul with a subtle reponse.

ive softened it up with a little edit.

i only said this...

there is an obvious lack of headwork apparant...or the correct type of headwork

then backed it up with actual experience here

you can actually get T51R's to make power earlier...but it takes a fair bit of experience and r & d. Ive seen what we thought the was perfect set-up (made 500AWKW at 25psi on 98 pump fuel) come alive 1000rpm earlier and made another 50AWKW with a different approach to the port work and camshaft change.

and he wants to 'dyno pepsi challenge' me.

ahh well...ill see if i can squeeze Scott for a graph.

Bakes the only place i will ever beat your car is on a racetrack...everywhere else you have me covered.

    • Oh wow, it's easy to forget how cheap these can be. Probably the cheapest way to travel. Though people in cars here tend to be morons and I would not feel very safe. Were scooters ever big in Australia? It used to be the thing growing up in Europe ~20 years ago. 50/70/125ccm Peugeot or Yamaha and some others. Utterly obnoxious Polini race exhausts. Kick stands that slant as much as possible. So loud. So much noise for really not moving very fast at all. But it felt cool at the time. Not sure where I'm going with this, but there is an aftermarket for mopeds! Though I'd have pictured you more for a Goldwing kind of guy after growing out of the Harley.
    • You need to know I am sorry for this.  
    • As the MX5 isn't apparently "manly" enough, and I need something for runs to the local shops, and also take to my part time job at the salon, basically I can keep the MX5 away from car parks and stuff......like "flying lockers", I was wondering what I could buy to fix this issue LOL, I pick up a new Yamaha 125 Delight this arvo from Trooper Lu, basically a R1 that you can fit a slab of beer on between your feet, also, it was $29400 cheaper than a R1, so actually it's 2 x better than a R1    
    • Nah. H2S. H2S is "rotten egg gas", which is what is associated with no cat. SO2 is equally nasty, and if you've ever smelt it you'll know all about it. More of a choking, acid in the back of the throat sort of thing. But you can only smell it in a narrow range up to about 1ppm. Above that, it irritates your mucous membranes, but you don't smell it.
    • Kicked the 34 in the guts, she won’t be seeing the road till I get the 31 mobile again.  wont be long and she’s a bit of a garage princess anyway haha
