Sau Drag Day 20-September-2014

[Ants]

450kw and 127mph? u sure that leak wouldnt have lost you power? i run 127mph and im only just over 500hp on 24psi, only peaked at 23 for the day though.

i don't know mate.

The only way to find out would be to run again

Awesome afternoon. The Evo guys loved it. I finally got to run my Evo for the first time & managed a 12.30 @114mph.

Does anyone know what Phil's best time was in the R35 GTR? I need to pass the info on for an internet article.

[Captain Natro]

10.2 @11ty million mph

Looking back at my videos, I'm starting to wonder how I would have gone if I'd let the car get anywhere near redline...

I just have too much mechanical sympathy I think.

only be way to find out

Back to Willowbank the legume (yes, legume) goes for rev limiting thrashing

Yep, still got a free pass that expires December from a time when test and tune was rained out.

Bought an open face helmet for $40 yesterday since the full face one got too hot on Saturday.

I'll go back out as soon as Sneaky Pete decides to run his car.

well Im going back this Saturday

Not I

I have however ordered some slimline engine mounts to fit my 2.5in intake and 2.5in incercooler piping that have been sitting in the box since xmas. Might as well turn a gearbox removal into a positive right?

Got to the end of the quarter, slowing down, tried to shift from 4th to 3rd and it wouldn't go. Perma stuck in 4th. Was working my way into the launches having never been on MT's before. Didn't feel like I had a single clean run unfortunately. Only made 1 trip to the timeslip booth and collected 2. 1 said 12.5 @ 123, the other said 17.5 at 77.

Wideband saved me again on that run. After burnout I noticed lean. Kept a keen eye on afr's, sure enough under boost was too lean. I had figured the boost feed for FPR had come off, and I was correct, pulled up to check and it was flapping in the breeze.

Every modified boosted car should have a wideband IMO. Cheap insurance.

Engine out?

Nope not engine out. Will sling it and slide the mounts out and install the slimlines

100% agree on that ^

Is on my to do list as well (EFI also recommend it too)

so many more parts, so little spare cash............quick off to the for sale of parts thread

Do you take it as a challenge now to try to do everything you can without taking the engine out?

[MagicMikeZ32]

I try... Going to do everything now with the engine still in the bay.

Does not matter that everything is disconnected and I could just lift it out, it stays put

[SABBAi]

It looks like it was a great day!

[sneakey pete]

I think it might have needed more telstars breaking cvs

[Ants]

I think it might have needed to come with the Sneakey R and forget work because they can't even get my pays right

FYP

Hey mate, where did you get your helmet from. And how did the horse run.

[pretX]

And horse came 7th, but 1st race, good thing I stayed at test and tune...
