Thanks guys. No new mods since my last 13.4's, just practice. Still auto.

This is from the other thread I started:

I've been quite frustrated by my bad drag times so far in my car. Even when I had the stock turbo I seemed to be way behind the pack. I've been to a few wednesday night street meets and in my unprofessional opinion they suck for everything bar socialising. Too many cars, not enough runs, too many rotaries dropping oil all over the track.

I figured what I needed was a private track day with lots of runs to practice so I went to the V8owners track day on sunday (I was invited by the organisers who know me) and I practiced.

First run 13.4

Second run 13.3

Third run 13.2

Fourth run 20.4

Fifth run 13.08

Sixth 13.4

Seventh 13.2

Eighth 12.9!!!!

At this point I rang 2rismo who gave me a little tip and told me I had a 12.8 in it. I didn't believe him and consequently stuffed the next 3 runs up.

Next I started paying attention and I got about 4 12.8's and then 3 12.7's each time dropping a few hundredths on my ET. My MPH on my final pb of 12.764 was about 105.xx but interestingly I got 107.95 and 107.88 on other runs so maybe I've got a 12.6 in it?

I've got steel wires sticking out my tyres now and a grin from ear to ear. I made lots of smoke and put some of the V8's to shame, although one guy made my 190km/h burnout over the start line look lame by burying me in his tyre smoke.

Thanks to 2rismo for the tips.

Congrat's on the ET improvement!

Peter and Duncan are a well organised friendly bunch who know how to put on a good day at WSID. I went out in March with them, lots of fun.

    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
