First time down at the drag strip with M/T Street Radials and they were brand new, couldn't do a decent burnout so the first couple of runs couldn't get traction or bogged down, but by the end of the day the 12's started coming out when i learnt how to launch properly.

I won both my bracket races by default LOL, because both the cars i raced false started :unsure: guess i'll get a FREE wednesday night pass BONUS!

Had a great time and thank you to all those that organised shame about the weather though.

I had a couple of 4WD problems that needed to be sorted out, plus a 3rd gear selection problem. Attessa needed to be bled, and the HKS ETC system needs a lot of 'tuning'. On every run, I would either bog off the line, or wheelspin through first and second, and then couldn't engage third gear properly. Still very happy that the car got down the track in once piece as this was the first time I have driven the car after the build.

Thanks to Adam and the V8 Owners Club for a great day.

Congrats to all the new PB's and that it went smoothly, without the problems of the last SAU WSID day. :unsure:

So did any of you guys beat the ZED?? I heard ZX2NV ran a flat 12 sec pass, not bad for a barge! Anchors away.

Adam, you have now driven an LS1, are you coming over to the dark side???????

Peter.

That thing (his tow car for the rest of you) can just about do burnouts without going over 2000rpm :unsure::P but.... no. hehe. I like the roundy roundy too.

i couldn't beat it, didn't expect a 12flat from it i've got the other side of that time slip when it did the 12flat i ran 12.7 for that run :unsure:

Had a great day, post the nerve killing first run. :unsure:

Couldnt of done it without my pit bitch....Hi 5 Liz!!

Yay for Stormin Norman's launching lessons

Thanks to Adam and V8 guys

anytime for a member of the three letter name gang

hi5!

How'd the NBP crew go?? Malecki?

who are NBP?

Thanks for a great day guys... just wish the rain held off a little longer!

Chubbs... I think my best time was a 14.01 something... First run of the day on street tyres Lucas did a 13.201 - third slipped a bit though!

Lucas was runnning in the low 14's after that also - worked out that the pin to the master cylinder that we made was a smidgen too long.... hence 2nd & 3rd was slipping..... didn't get a chance to test it out heaps as the clutch was only finished being installed late Saturday!

We put the semi's I had lying around on after the lunch and he ran a 13.3 (clutch was nice & cold!)... Heading back down either this wednesday or next with the clutch sorted and some MT's.... hoping to crack the high 12's.... (with Lucas driving.. I just want to get in the 13's!)

nice Anna!

I may head out next week also!

:unsure:

Links...love that last shot of my car with Lucas "warming" up the the semis... I made him put them on cause he was killing my street tyres :P

DJ Brave.. where are all your photos??????

was a great bit of weather for racing, except for the rain. it was good to see charlies car running, and I've no doubt it's going to be insane when it's sorted. I was just happy for a chance to take the car for a run and catch up with some of the guys I haven't seen in a while. congrats to all those that entered.

What happened to you and Stace and Twoogle, Paul?

awww.. can't believe they didn't make it, but at the same time i'm glad i didn't miss twoggles debut :D

im testing out a new fake RWD burnout system for FWD, my target market is honda drivers.

    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
    • You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.
    • The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:   
    • Ohhh I see lol To be honest the main reason why I wanted to start modding is because of a business trip to Japan and Indonesia. I saw many cool and modded cars all throughout in these countries, especially Japan. I myself am of Chinese+Japanese nationality and when living in china (never lived in Japan js my dad side lol) I remember staring at these cars pass by with their loud tacky exhausts and insane wide body kits. And when I went back to Japan, I got even more invested even asking people about their cars and why they modded. Most gave similar answers to what you said but funny enough one guy just said that he saw the need for speed movie being filmed once in Tokyo I think near Shibuya Crossing and got inspired to tune and mod. After that I just started to fantasize on owning a car like that. Also tbh I prefer the R32 over the R34 it's just the R34 is more iconic lol (also apparently better aftermarket support than the R32) and my only goal really is just to make the car mine and make it fun to drive. As much as I love my Cayenne it's pretty bland to drive. Sure the interior is nice and pretty, gives you attention yada yada but I've wanted to experience what it is like to have a car that is truly yours. I suppose thats the goal so far. Haha if you find where I'm from, then sure. Ill help you out on your next "financial decision"
