Him: on foot You: in car Forget getting a speeding ticket. Adrian

Okay I will I have been practicing and learning more and more about my car and my abilities over the last 12 to 18 months. ******************************* A BRIEF LOOK BACK: - When I first took this car to the drags (E.C.Raceway strip), it went 14.1 @ 107mph. - Then I turned the boost up and went two tenths slower. (Wheelspin). - When I went back again (the bug had bitten), I was elated to find that I had broken into the 13's. 13.9 @ 103mph from memory with a 2.2 60' . - This was the eye opener. I had gone as fast as 107mph previously but hadn't run a 13 till this. - A better launch saw the ET's drop at a great rate. Most people (me included) begin by thinking that your ET automatically gets better with more power. - From here the focus shifted to getting off the line better and with this came much bigger grins - Fast forward to 2 months ago and my car went 13.0 @ 108mph. No more power than before, same tune, no more boost than before, same tyres as before, same driver as before but with a 60' time of 1.9 sec flat. ****************************** As you can see, it's a far cry from 18 months ago and 14.3 seconds. The mph has hardly changed (the best indicator of power at the drags), but the driver is a whole lot more practiced and has had some helpful advice from friends. I get to the track every chance I can and I'm constantly trying something different. If I could offer one bit of advice that meant something to everyone it would be this: -------- Get REALLY good tyres and save your 'power-up' money for when you're maximising the power you already have. --------- Adrian

ROFL!!! Re-read what you just typed, me ole mucker! hahahahaa.... Adrian

You mean my pit bitch that came down to help ONCE? YEah probably! I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind at aaaalllllll !!!! Adrian

I always look for the smoke so I can decide if I have warmed them up enough. (Crowd pleaser/show boat that I am!) Adrian

w00t!!

B-Man - The bet was that if you didnt run a 12, brett got to drive your car. Scott (Matt) http://www.club-gti.org/dgfinal2004.php Adrian

We call him "Bobbo". He ended up with my tools, I have Stacey's pressure guage, Scott has my torch and someone ate my Mars Bar.... wait.....that was me.... And he's MY pit bitch so back off or i'll scratch ya eyes out! Adrian

ON AN ABSOLUTE MISSION!!! HE'S SHOWING THEM ALL HOW IT'S DONE!!! rofl... Adrian

So..... errr.... photos then Andrew?!?!?! COME ON MAN!!!! Adrian

Just WHAT goes on in the Media box upstairs, Andrew?!?!!?! Adrian

245/50/16 on 16x8 R32 GTR rims. Adrian

No pb here 11.989 is still 3 hundredths slower than my best. AND I had to get my goddamned ANDRA licence!! Adrian P.S. I don't mind, I dont mind, I don't mind at all !!

I'll get around to finding out my offset and I'll post it here. If you can scan and post that wheel measurement request form, i'll see what I can do. Adrian

Was concentrating on too many other things when i should've been disarming the gas and launching in 2nd. Still had a good day though. Ran another 11 and the new tyres worked a treat (1.694 60'). Back to the drawing board though... Need it to rev through the gears quicker... Adrian

Awesome day - i'm a goose - congrats to the winners Well done guys. Adrian

And yes they absolutely and utterley clear the guards with 3 fat guys jumping in the boot as well as me launching as hard as i can in their carpark. Adrian

With the right offset and absolutely NO lipping or rolling of the guards whatsoever, it is absolutely possible to fit 275/40/17" Nitto NT555R's under the guards of your R33 GTS25t. These are on a 17x8" rim and no i don't know the offset yet. Examine: Adrian

All the guys at Unigroup seem to be MAJOR night owls... Awesome Chris. See ya on Saturday Adrian

i reckon 12's but that's just me. Adrian

But at least with the new build you have your doodle teflon coated! Arseclown What time you getting there tomorrow ***a?

Baaahahahahaha.... I reckon you could say it was a GTS4 and they'd never know... except maybe for the wheelspin off the line. And as to the 80k cars not racing? What do you reckon has been spent on TWO.06L ??? They're pussies of the highest order.... Adrian

Hahahaha.... The response yesterday from Autostyle was along the lines of, "nah...umm...Damian isn't here right now....uuhhmmm....i don't think we will have anyone racing....ummm..." What a joke. Adrian

The only way to make this do-able is to make it open to other types of cars. Andrew, the $4k covers: 1 person in the timing office (where you get your slips) 1 person in the staging lanes 1 person in the burnout area (before your run) 1 starter 1 fire crew 1 ambulance and the ambo's to staff it We wouldn't have any part in the running of the cars and would be obliged to obey all directions of officials and safety staff. I think it's obvious that because there would be a skeleton staff from WSID running a day like this, they need to break for lunch as do we. Common sense says this would happen at the same time. BBQ? All good. Like I said, this is a LOOOOONNNGGGGG way off and personally, I need some confidence restored in this club/forum and it's ability to support club drag events. For now, let the interest be guaged. Adrian
