With wheelspin was quickest way...Anyhting less was bogged down and took to long to get boost. As i said that was my best time for the day. I tried lots of different techniques.

You dont see top fuel drivers spinning their wheels through gears and they get pretty good times.

Have you seen how big and sticky their tyres are? And suspesion set up to go straight. They are race cars, i drive mine around corners occasionally.

Saying that "Yer she was spinning into 4th" may sound like your car is uber powerful etc... but it doesnt help your et's.

Did not say this. Said if i could get power down without wheelspin i may get 12's.

I stand corrected.

Can you use these tyres on the road then?

If so, how much are they and what are they like for road use?

I have to admit a very bad thing.....

I got completly smashed the other day by a FORD......

It was an old XY falcon with a 351 GT motor and a massive blower hanging out the bonnet, but he was giving me **** and i thought ill go him but it got me by over 4 car lengths in 400 metres.....

It looked like a big wanker mobile, but it had some serious fuel swallowing ability's... LOL

Yes those old ford do haul arse.

There is one getting around that has wide arse wheels, lowered very slightly with a hornet type bonnet scoop and a nice blue.

It looks and sounds very very tame.

I suspect that he has it supercharged or something as it is to quick for how smooth it idles.

i.e 265 at least on the rear it can light then up no worries from first through second then it starts to get a little hary as the arse end starts to flick around a bit to much. Well when I saw it anyway.

He doesn't stall it up at the lights just guns it as it wheel spins anyway.

When i was making 152rwkw he ate me and spat me out by around 3 car lengths at 100km/h.

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
