Also:

"With a racing membership, each vehicle is set up in Drag Tag’s workshop where it is weighed, and the frontal area and drag coefficient from the car's manufacturer entered into a computer. Using this information, we are able to assign a carefully-calculated air resistance equation."

Haven't had my car on it mate...would love to though.

From what I've seen, the results are incredibly accurate compared to others' real-world drag times.

I need to find the photos of the Linux arrays running the thing. The number crunching is in-farking-sane!

Adrian, are you affiliated in any way with Drag Tag? Just would like to know if the opinion is unbiased.

Without airflow how is the engine, brakes, etc. cooled?

With 4wd cars how can you turn the wheel? As i have seen some close calls if the wheels are not kept straight.

I've been exposed to it and its development in various ways for a couple of years. I don't work for them and they're interstate! :O My employer has advertising at their premises and vice versa.

It's just a cool concept. Skip the drag racing component for a sec and think of the driver training aspect. Controlled environment driver education in real world situations. Great idea with heaps of promise.

I support any idea that increases driver training and road safety and gets the fast cars racing where they should be.

Brake cooling etc..... dunno. I'd send em an email. Every question I've ever asked has been answered promptly and sensibly.

Great.............

Would be good to get some answers. For 2wds the front brakes wont matter as they are stationary, but the rears may get a little warm :D.

The concept is great, hopefully it kicks off for them.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
