Rained stopped about an hour ago, had a solid 10mm in about 30mins along with hail and wind.

The track will be completely scrubbed of any grip, so it will come down to the mornings track prep.

Traction is over rated, Just ask Theo. :)

Had a good day all up. Car finally hooked up on the transbrake and went 11.44 @ 120.84mph. The sixty wasn't awesome - 1.73 - and there's more to come. On another note, HO-LY SHITBALLS twoogle is an animal with the big single. Wow!

what did he end up getting?

I only seen it do an 11.3XX

Sorry I didn't run into you mate, Seen everyone else though.

Also, I got the two for one deal just by asking for it - I love having an ethnic bargining background :banana:

ended up with a 10.00 @ 143 on a 9.95 dial-in in the eliminators and put Rigoli's 'Boostin' VL on the trailer. This was the only highlight in a tough day of testing and tuning the new set-up. The car was using a wheel speed cut-out for the launch control which simply didn't work. We changed to a driver operated system using a button on the steering wheel with instant success with the car turning the tyres hard off the line launching the car. Wheel spin knocked the 60' time around (1.68) so we need less boost and rpm off the line. Mark is confident my usual 1.4 60' time would have seen a 9.40 with the current power level.

The car is much harder to drive than with the low-mounts which was a simple point and shoot affair, yes 2rismo...ho-ly shitballs...this thing really moves and is such a rush to drive when it hooks up. Im going to give it another crack at a friday night ANDRA test session in 2 weeks.

big thanks to all who assisted especially Mark Jacobsen, Scott Kuhner, Dave (T04Z GTR) and the Guilt Tripper.

Yeah even the MPH on the 11 second pass was crazy.

I seen that 'wheel speed cut' kill your starts on two runs. Obviously the 10.00 was later after I left.

never got to see you run :D

you would be lucky to see 'The Guilt's' run ever...maybe only if he's late for a buffet lunch. :blink:

and i forgot to give a big thank you to 2ris' for the uplifting man love in pit lane.

all over in 6 seconds mate?

    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
