I'll be there to race, prolly arriving at about 4:45pm as always.

Clutch fixed, wheel alignment, more power yup... im ready :) If I don't do a 13.x god help the person standing nearest to me :)

Never been to drags before....and i got a few questions...

Is it NECESSARY to do a burnout to "warm" the tyres up ??

cause i find that i can get a bit of smoke happening and then the car just gets traction and takes off...cant do on -spots no matter what i do...and i dont wanna get a line lock solenoid.....hehe..

I also been told that the tarmac at drag strips is different to street....this true ?

so any suggestions for a first timer ??

dont wanna embarrass myself on my first run.... :confused:

Not if you're using street tyres... They are designed to work at normal driving temps.

at the track, you start on the water. rev it hard in 2nd then drop the clutch. you will find that they smoke up real quick but like i said, totally unneccesary.

Yup much more sticky and your car may/will behave differently on the strip compared to the normal street roads. Just take it easy the first run (or 2) and don't try and be a hero until you get the 'feel' of it all.

Looks like it is on between Us StreetCommodores and the Ricerboys in there Lines.

Looking foward to the friendly competition. I am organising it from the SC FORUM and 2RISMO fromm the SAU FORUM

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • 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!
