Hallo guys,

I did 11.2sec with 130 or 134mph(I don't remember exactly) and 1.9sec 60foot!

Unfortunatly the drag strip was very very bad without glue and very old.

With bumps over 1/8mile as you can see in the video.

Theese bumps caused the accident..

In a good drag strip and with rev limit 8500 I am sure that the time will be mid 10!

In other races I did 1.5sec 60foot but in this drag strip was impossible to do a good launch!

I set the tyre pressure at 7.5psi (cold tyres-before burnouts) in my try for a good time :(

This tyre pressure sure was an other reason for the accident.

At the time that I lost the car I push full brakes and the car did drift because the street has dust and was very old.

Glue has only fore the first 1/16 mile

I tried in the race to tune a little the car with the commander...

Rev limit: 8000rpm

AFR wot: 11.7!!

IGN: 19deg at 8.000rpm

Boost: 2.1bar - 31psi (without vaccum hose at wastegate :P :P )

100octane fuel

Very hot summer day!!! 100F 38C

The car is really fast now!!! :);):P

Ofcourse it needs tune but it is really good instead without tune.

Did the guy in the S2000 hit the wall because of the collision or because he was taking evasive action? Whatever happened that's a nasty hit - both of you walk away?

Isn't the rule on most strips that if you even get a hint of a loose ass end and don't back off you get in a fair bit of trouble?

Obviously not in Greece..

And if it is..then the guy is a wanker!

**edit** i retract that statement. He's a wanker anyway. He could tell his grip wasn't the best..should've acted on it

then again..i don't know how hard it is doing 11sec runs so i should probably not comment

^^ to me it looked like the Honda was trying to get out of the way.

The little story thing with one of the videos said that....but being that the OP tagged the ass end of it at 130mph...well yeah

Of course they did......thats why the Honda got out of control too....right.

yeah it def wasnt the 7.5psi in the tyres :) or the fact that he kept the boot into it with the car trying to swap ends

Been over pleny worse bumps than that at similar speeds on dirt, (Legally in rallies) and not had any issues like that... and as has already been said, the Honda was not having any troubles, and unless you car is far and away the quickest thing to ever run on that strip the cause of the crash is plain and simple, you ran shit out of talent

Idiots aren't even wearing basic safety gear.

I'm amazed they weren't hurt or even killed.

The 180 definitely tagged the s2000.

Gotta love 3rd world drags. :)

mate i dont know if i want to see a video of you trying to run a 10, running an 11.2 nearly killed you and someone else.

you can just see a guy in the 2nd video at 0:24 with his hands on his headshouting "RE MALAKA!" that comments sums it up beautifully.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
