The Drags just get everything moving inside. They take off with 6000 + horse power, At 0.9 of a second they are already doing 100km's an hour, the clutch slips and does not fully engage in top gear until about 3/4 track, when the tyres flare up the circumfrence is 3 metres so they only turn roughly 135 times to the line, and then it's all over in about 4.5 - 5 seconds. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD :)

Well if we had a total of 12 people coming it should cost $455 each, I'm sure each box is air-conditioned but i have not actually asked, I would assume though.

wooha.count me out of that shit yo..thanks for the reply joey.i think that cash can go towards somthing for my car.:O

No worries, The SHIT you so would like to do sometimes is just not worth that comfort. But what i might do is pm everbody on the list and we can just meet either there or somewhere to cruise to the drags instead and enjoy the day!

Ok everyone! I just Pm everyone on the listabout coming to The Creek! I myself will be going on Sunday (I'll be working tomorrow) and was wondering if everyone wanted to meet somewhere inside to see each other.

To anyone else who wants to come and enjoy, you are more than welcome :)

We will be meating at the top of the stairs that lead down to the pits don't know what time yet though. I will let you know Sunday and others who go Saturday might do the same.

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
