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 :P

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
