hey y'all,

Two questions:

Im thinking of takin my car down to whoop arse wednesdays but am a little shy about it as it is just a NAr33. Just wanna know from all you peepz who have been down, what kind of cars usualli rock up there?? Are we talkin hardcore racers with 10sec time slips or do u get regular street cars such as pulsars and lancers + civics etc. What kindov of crowd usualli rocks up there??

2nd question:

The reason that i want to go down theres is because my mate just got a 94 prelude si, and hes a real ****y bastard with it. Ive been in it and its got sum balls, who do u rekon would win in a drag??? Were both manuals, both stocker and both lower spec engines. ie no turbos or vtec. I realli wanna shut him down but im not to sure wether i can do it. Any tips for preperation???

BTW, takin it to the track cuz we all know street racing is not on.

Dude I had the same questions a couple of weeks ago. Do yourself a favour and just go.

The skill levels vary from the out and out must-be-asleep-at-the-wheel-their-reaction-time-is-so-slow to the professional elite drag racer.

I was originally worried, but seriously, you won't embarrass yourself unless something pops out the top of your hood. Go out there and have fun. It's well worth it.

Trust me when I say this: There are some seriously shit cars racing down at the 'plex, but they're having fun.

Let your tyre pressures down to 20psi.

Keep your RPM at a constant rate just before launching where you know you're just before loss of traction if you dump the clutch.

If you HAVE traction control, turn it off. You (by all accounts) should go faster without it.

Take a motorbike helmet, long sleeved jacket, jeans and shoes.

just go do it man, its good fun (unless you break something) last time i went down i went againt a hyndai lantra with a "TURBO" sticker on it ass end. basicly he ran a 17's all night.

you need a helmet, long pants and sleeve's, and you car's gotta be street legal, no leaks etc.

just do it!!!!

steve

I have had 52 runs in 1 night...

man that was a bad curry

kekeke

anyways dude definately do yourself a favour and go.. its hard to get past all the build up from other guys running 12's etc... cos it makes it seems like its a really really serious evening out.. and you get egged and covered in feathers if you don't crack a 14

but smeh.. nothing beats the first time, driving toward the lane, getting that nervous feeling as you start to doubt the skill that won you ever traffic light grand prix you have entered into. ....

you will love it.

try not to inhale the burnout smoke too much

i farken hope not. just had my clutch replaced abt 20000km ago. Onli thing is, i dont think the jack arse machined my fly wheel...

If i deflate my tyres to 20 psi, is that still safe to drive on all the way home?? or is a there a facility where i can pump them back up to at the motoplex?

ps. somebody gimme sum hope that im not gonna get shitted on by this lude :Oops:

Go and have some fun mate.

Clutch wise just 'drop it'. Sidestepping the clutch at the right rpm and feeding the throttle correctly will minimise wheelspin and the clutch isn't going to get worn out.

Take down the helmet, long sleave shirt and $30 and you can't go wrong :(

I've been meaning to go down too. Humm. Maybe......... whos up for a convoy this wednesday? we can meet somewhere central. I'm in and rather go down with fellow liners than by myself. Hey we acn even watch you chop your mate on the way down:)

i have been there only once and there was about 3 of you pissant skyliners. we just took the shit out of yas all night with your shit jap crap cars it was good fun!

rrrrriiiiiiiigggghht

ur a tool

hey ive got a n/a aswell and ive always wanted to take it down but just havent had the chance and im paranoid of stalling it at the line haha

i have been there only once and there was about 3 of you pissant skyliners. we just took the shit out of yas all night with your shit jap crap cars it was good fun!

If by taking the piss you mean the whole "your car is a rice burning 2.0/2.5/2.6L juice box" vs your "all iron, heavy as shit, 5.0L+ goon bag" then clearly you are endowed with a huge wang which your boyfriend must love. I'm so jealous. I wish I could have a big wang like you. Then i'd be able to feel like a big man posting on forums where clearly nobody gives a flying F**k what you think.

When I grow up, I wanna be just like you.

    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works! 
    • So, when are you trying the new GR86 or BRZ?
    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
