Well Ben - you can add my very ordinary effort of tonight.

R/T = .479

60' = 2.528

330' = 6.113

660' = 8.872

mph = 91.66

1000' = 11.178

ET = 13.118

MPH = 116.89

Km/h = 188.12

Must be able to do better then that - me thinks the driver needs more practice. :(

I'll scan the timeslip later - but you saw it.

hey b-man you wanna run :(

still at least your trying and the mph is good ;)

practice practice and practice

it would almost pay you to bring your car down to calder for a friday night you could get around 10-15 runs @ least if you try hard enough and the car can hack it now thats what I call practice

meggala

I know exactly how you feel Brendan ;) It's all part of the learning experience mate. I've had a drag meet where I started out with a 13.943 @ 117.35mph. In a way it actually makes you feel even better when you do finally nail a good one.

Gotta say though mate, you really suck at getting off the line :(

91.66mph at the 1/8th is very promising though. To give you an idea I had the following numbers on a 91.91mph at the 1/8th:

60' - 2.090

330' - 5.651

660' - 8.377

MPH - 91.91

1000' - 10.739

ET - 12.690

MPH - 119.12

My best numbers are:

60' - 2.143

330' - 5.492

660' - 8.188

MPH - 90.48

1000' - 10.531

ET - 12.473

MPH - 118.34

As you can see from my numbers above, it's a fine line between wheel spin and bogging it down. In the top run I had a good 60' (2.090) but then it light the rears up at about 70-80' and I lost out on ET. In the bottom one I came off the line slower and got better grip and therefore a quicker ET but lost out on top end MPH.

Yeah - I SUCK at getting off the line - It's much harder that you think hey.

If I give it too much, I seem to either wheelspin, back off and bog down - or the clutch slips (yeah still slipping on high boost)

That run was on low boost - high boost is slower (13.6) MPH is 117 -

I'm sure it is all driver related though.....

I was a bit disapointed to be honest - but hey practice make perfect :(

Hahaha... how hard can it be to go dead straight (well most of the time) for 400m? It's easy! Not when you've got a turbocharged engine that comes on boost like a mofo!

Keep at it mate. In another meet or two you'll have knocked 0.5sec off at the very least. You'll probably go mid/low 12's @ 120mph within the next two meets. And then when Brett gives you a shot on the Nittos you be into the 11's @ mid 120's. :(

He he - yeah me too - I had chronic axle tramp when trying to do a burnout - I think good suspension would help with the launches and traction -

But hey - it's easy to blame the car when most likely is the driver in my case :)

    • 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.
    • Anyone know alternatives to powerplus tungsten? Can't find an alternative online. 
    • 95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
