Hey ppls.

Well, now that I'm all powered up, I'm taking my car to Calder Park for "Explosive quarter mile action" I'm "putting my wheels to the test" and all that crap.

Anyone else going?

I'm hoping to run a 12, hopefully a low one. Brisby is graciously lending me his semi-comps for a bit of extra traction, so with any luck I should also get a sub 2.0sec 60ft.

Anywhooo..... Anyone else wanna go?

BASS OUT

SEMI is Gay man, come on, run street tyres. Oh well maybe run 1 or 2 passes with Semi.

Good luck, might come down and watch. :wub:

Raced mine last Friday, first time out with it, managed to run a 12.75 at around 106mph after a couple of high 12s, which wasn't bad, full street trim. Just tricky working out how many RPM to launch it at, too little it would bog down, too much and it spun heaps...

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
