I'm Going In Drag Warz..

[IMPORTD]

Hey all

SAUWA are entering drag warz here in Perth.

I'm entering my car haha

Previous owner did some dragging in her before (I'll find the threads to that)

I was just wondering if anyone here has done this with thier S1's and anything I should do to the car before hand.

I'll be changing the oil this weekend (a week prior) and attaching my front strut brace.

Boost is set at 8psi but can do higher, will get that tuned before also..

Anything else?

Its not hard in an auto awd car.

only tip, for launching do the following.

put in D, forget about power/other shit, push handbrake in as hard as you can, left foot on the brake as hard as you can, right foot on the accelerator until the car feels like it will creep, release foot brake and hand brake at the same time as planting the lead foot.

point, shoot.

dont worry about tyre pressures, oils are just like a service do it if it needs doing. otherwise, have fun.

Yeap, get it staged, then plant your foot as hard as you can on the brake and then apply accelerator until the car creeps slightly then back off, once the thrid yellow goes out, remove brake and plant accelerator, WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

We'll have to start a "Drag Times" thread soon, just for you, remember to keep your best timeslip of the comp and scan it

Oh and Get some video please

[IMPORTD]

cool thanks guys.

I'll get video of it. Well I'll get someone to tape it lol

My brother should be going in his supra so he can video me lol

[FLYSLY]

[IMPORTD]

[CruiseLiner]

nice work Kylie, i was down there watching for most of the day and your stagea looks very nice. i didnt appreciate the commentators (sp?) comment saying that stageas are not very good on the eye compared to skylines. well have to show them a thing or two soon enough

[IMPORTD]

oh nice of them... I had their radio station on in the car but couldn't hear a thing once I was up 'trying' to stage lol

I sucked big time. lol

Did you come down to the SAUWA tent??

[Ska]

[CruiseLiner]

[Wildcat]

[Ska]

Man is that the stock ride hieght at the back?!?!?!? With my 15"s on the tyre just seaks under the lip, man I knew mine was low, but didnt think it was that lowered until I saw that pic!!

[fcruz3r]

nice clean car kylie...is that a safc peeking through on the bottom right hand corner of the front passanger window?

[SLO-N-STEDY]

well done Kylie. good to see something different down the drags for a change.

not as pleasing to the eye, obviously they forgot their glasses.

[FLYSLY]

Well done, extremely good effort for a first go.

Damn yor car looks clean

[IMPORTD]

Its a digital rev/odom you can see, the SAFC is tucked into the centre console just above the stereo and the EBC is in the coin thingy.. soon to be moved though.. keep banging my knees/shoes on it..
