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!!!!

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 :(

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.

I wish goulash was here to set that guy right ;)

Stock clutch if fine on an N/A i reckon, although a new clutch on my car shaved off .5 seconds :(

Just go down, and try different things you'll have bagloads of fun...

    • Welcome.  Glad to hear that you have gained some knowledge that has helped you. I believe the only fix for the power steer belt is an electric conversion with a Holden astra pump. If you get a chance, post pics of your car, please. 🙂
    • Just ordered those bosses, hopefully that does the trick thank you very much everyone for your replies it's really appreciated  
    • to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?  
    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
