I headed down to AIR tonight (06Dec) to lend a hand to Shaun, Ben & co as they were running the 'Boost Worx' backed yellow 2JZGTE powered Supra (ex-RPM car).

Ben ran a string of low 11's @ over 127mph before finally getting the car to run closer to its potential with a PB of 10.8 @ 125+. The mph was down on the earlier passes as an IC hose blew off going into 3rd gear. The car should run closer to 10.4 with a few more tweaks.

All passes were on ET Streets (DOT approved) I'm not sure if they qualify for the HPI Street Drag Challenge or not?

I'm sure most will agree that the 2JZGTE is an awesome engine. Ben's Supra runs a dead stock internals 2JZ.

Another car worth mentioning was the factory standard new 3.5L V6 Magna (base model) whose female driver ran back to back 14.8 - 14.7 mid 90mph passes (best of 14.7 @ 96mph). The only mod was a slight change to the air box feed.

Yeah mate sure have!

I remember reading articles on the MKIV JZA80 Supra when it was first released in Japan. It was my #1 choice when I got interested in imports back in the early-mid 90's. They were a touch too expensive back then though :) Hence I got the Skyline instead. I've gone too far with the GTS to start again now :)

Hip,

Brand new ET Streets & a good suspension aligning session made a huge improvement on the strip.

ET Streets are a drag radial tyre made by Mickey Thompson. They're DOT approved which technically makes them street legal.

"There's a simple way of identifying whether or not a tyre is legal for road use. If it has "DOT" or "E" written on the sidewall, it's passable - no probs. DOT is the US abbreviation for the Department of Transport, while "E" is the recognised European compliance symbol. Having said that, it wouldn't be unthinkable to get pulled over by the police for supposedly "bald tyres" - regardless of their technical legality."

The car is with Boost Worx now as the mechanic linked with the car moved from RPM to set up his own workshop. So the car moved with him.

Tim,

I'd say traction would've been a huge factor in who hosed who on the street! Neither cars have/had a lot of traction on road rubber. Ben mentioned turning the tyres @ 180+ on the road.

      Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
