No that is not normal... What tyres, what width and what suspension do you have?

Without much information my guess would be you have a dead transfer case if you are losing traction in 3rd

Theres also the possibility the ATTESSA hasn't been properly bled meaning it'll be more or less RWD… Just a thought that is. I bled mine up after changing to my old twin plate and it made a world of difference.

If the gearbox has come out at any stage the ATTESSA needs to be bled

The I shift I don't have that on at the moment. My 60' was a 1.795 which is not bad considering it was my second Time at the runs. Can't wait for this box should get better results. You think I should leave the 4.11 with the ppg box getting the clutch sent to Jim berry to get strengthened. Will be stronger then a full Monty clutch

The PPG dog sets or the helical synchro. I've spoken to their sales guy at length. He reckons the dog box is fine, just man up. We have 3-4 guys that will be buying a set at once, just a matter of when.

sime1, swap out the suspension, if the bilstiens and kings are still in it that is, they worked OK on the track but they are rubbish on the strip, way to stiff.

You may need to get the rear springs custom made though, I ended up getting the black springs that I sold with the car made up, standard height but a bit stiffer to stop it squatting and hitting the outside edge of the tyres, that is if you are still running the 32 rims and 255 50 16 M/T's.

It was a quick fix at the time, but I never did get around to getting a drag type suspension set up before I sold it.

I think that different suspension alone will get you into the 10's.

I would get different shock and spring package for the drags, I did a bit of research on this when I had the boat, the rear shocks need to be able to drop but they don't come back up as quick or something, the front need to raise and stay up to help transfer the weight to the rear, the spring rates? I have no idea.

I would ask around at the drags, watch whose cars lift the front and drop the rear and hook up well, then ask them what they are using, from my experience most guys are quite willing to share the knowledge.

Remember that you will need some positive camber wound into the rear due to IRS and the inevitable negative camber that will come when it squats, I ran 0.5 positive for the drags from memory.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
