And BU5TER, the more things change, the more they stay the same. There are a heap of people still 'talkin' it up' that are yet to see a racetrack.

I have infinitely more respect for wreckedhead who talks it up and actually RACES than someone who gives him or anyone else sh1t and sits at home being a f^&*#ng keyboard warrior.

Jeeze Ad, chill out dude! You're startin' to get some serious attitude comin' across in these posts.

Bottom line... who cares what people say (or in this case type) walk the walk and there's no need to talk. You, wreckhead, buster and co are doin' the walkin'.

Cheers,

Matt

thanks buster and 2rismo, hope to see you both at the track, so we can talk about these keyboard warriors which were mentioned earlier. anyways as for

Did u get high off the fumes when u were pouring it into your tank??

god damn pouring is easy, but driving in the car on the freeway with the window open and cant close it casue aircon wastes all the C16, after i get out of the car i feel like ive been druged for the whole week. but its all good.

whatsisname, it's all good mate. I am just constantly tormented by people either:

a/ Talking sh1t and not backing it up

OR

b/ Posting on here without engaging their brains

That's all... :P

yeah i was there, my best was 11.5 @ 120mph, got the new clutch but couldnt get the take off right, doesnt matteri was running most on bp premium so im happy with that for now, when i get used to the launches ill try again.

Best of the night was 12.679 @ 114.71 mph.

The rest of the night was launch practice. Mental note, "Riding the clutch from 6500rpm is great for 1.9 60' times but 3rd gear doesn't work". hehehe...

Basically it's still a learning curve and I learned that 5500 launches ROCK! Was down on power the whole night. Will remove melty plugs and change for 8's before next week.

hey adrian did you watch my last run, from inside the car i felt like i was all over the road, backed off first gear casue i thoguht i was gonna go into the wall. sory had to leave right after that didnt have time to chat.

would be good if you got a in the car run.

I am considering this for next time. Need one of those camera mounts from the Group Buy section I think. Either that or gaffer tape my dvcam to the passenger headrest... lol

If anyone was paying close enough attention on Wednesday, did my car seem to lose traction at about half-3/4 track? Not necessarily wheelspin, more side to side in the tail end of the car. It felt very floaty at the top of 3rd that's for sure. Scary shit.

I was telling my wife to do the same thing with our camera.. I may make up a standard Skyline camera mount... :)

Nice run 2rismo,

i was driving the blue mx5 in one of your races, i pulled a 12.9 @ 106mph that run with pretty crappy tyres hence the shitty launcehs i was doing to prevent too much wheelspin.. Will be out again soon with my new 3" dump pipe/ebc and some stickier drag radiald, hoping to get mid to low 12's..

Anyway it was cool lining up with an r33 as i used to own one...

Take it easy and might run into ya again sometime..

Cheers,

Shmick_R33, The MX-5 looked like the driver was having fun :) Say hello next time!

Brent_r33, nice work with the 13.5. You should come say hi too! :O

DJ_L3ThAL, If you liked that pic, what about this one?!?!?

    • But I think you missed mine.. there is also nothing about the 98 spec that supports your claim..  according to the fuel standards, it can be identical to 95, just very slightly higher octane number. But the ulp vs pulp fuel regulations go show 95 (or 98), is not just 91 with some additives. any claim of ‘refined by the better refineries’ or ‘higher quality fuel’ is just hearsay.  I have never seen anything to back up such claims other than ‘my mate used to work for a fuel station’, or ‘drove a fuel delivery truck’, or ‘my mechanic says’.. the actual energy densities do slightly vary between the 3 grades of fuel, but the difference is very minor. That said, I am very happy to be proven wrong if anyone has some hard evidence..
    • Hey guys I’m chasing a Rb20det complete or bare block need a good running engine as mine has low comp 
    • You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.
    • 98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.
