I'm hard not to find, black SAU seatcovers, black SAU t-shirt :)
I'm pretty sure I saw you in the scruitineering area (I remember the seat covers lol) - maroon GTST right? I would have liked to have said hi, but I would have lost my spot in the queue.

Don't know what's going on with your times though. I'd question your gear changes, but it seems like you've run your car a heap of times so I doubt that's the problem. Just doesn't make sense that you'd beat me off the start, then start falling back mid-run, then have a higher TS then me...some freaky stuff going on there. At least you're close to a 13...my 4th and last run of the night was a 14.002 which would have been agonisingly close to a 13 if I didn't get there the run prior to that one.

You - Me

R/T: 0.227 - 0.206

60': 2.247 - 2.089 (+0.158)

330': 6.006 - 5.888 (+0.118)

660': 9.067 - 9.080 (-0.013)

1000 mph: 81.05 - 76.77

1000': 11.703 - 11.751 (-0.048)

ET: 13.931 - 14.009 (-0.078)

MPH: 101.37 - 102.07

Yup 2nd and 3rd gear letting me down. You clawed back on me just in that 330ft area.

[400R]'s best time last night was [email protected] with a 1.764 60'. Moderate 60 ft's but excellent top end. harder launch will see mid to low tens. But tech inspection now needed.[/QUOTe/]

now 400r is in the big time, full roll cage welded to chassis, scatter sheild, full racing fire proof suit, 6 point harness, and hes on his way again

Hey guys. it was my first eastern creek meet i had seen and was impressed with the amount of cars that entered. Eavool i walked past your car whilst in the carpark and was hearing some hissing sound coming from it?,. whats with it? also interested what turbo setup you have. Nice work to gtr 400, very impressive and i giv credit to all other compeditors. Traction looks to be the main issue with grabbing a good time. I will be entering myself in the near future for a pass when my new turbo goes on. Hope to see you guys there.

    • Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.
    • Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true 
    • I like this page, better than that silly turbo kit   https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/  
    • That would be my Shoei helmet
    • Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
