would be good if there was one NOR..

sucks having to drive almost an hour to get home on a week night.

It's different for me as I enjoyed driving my car last time every time :D

Lets just say.. when im bored, i'll pretty much find a place or reason to drive :P

It was packed. Still got 4 runs in though which suited me as it gave me time to pause and reflect before it came around again.

[email protected] <-- all wheels spinning off the line and screwed up the shift to second..

[email protected] <-- I attempted to do a burnout, pathetically, but nothing to lose. Didn't even bother for the previous 3 runs.

Not to bad for my first ever go at the drags. I might have to replace my tyres though.. those $110 each ones on the back didn't help me at all :P.

Real good fun.. only one problem. I might be hooked.

ps best 60' of the night was 2.228 on the last run.

Which car was yours?

My 4 runs for the night:

[email protected] <-- completely balls'd up, no launch

[email protected] <-- there we go, PB

[email protected] <-- again not enough launch

[email protected] <-- ooops too many revs...

Best 60' time was 2.287 sec, on the 14.349 sec run. MPH says I can go faster times, was my 3rd time ever, only have cat-back and pod... probably won't go down monday though, and hold off until after SAFC gets installed and tuned.

I'm probably going to head down either next week or the week after to see what my car runs before it comes off the road. Anyone else want to reprezent with me?

Ill come down for a looksee. If i am your support crew, should i wear that Lyrca outfit again? :)

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
