I missed Leigh's 2nd run cos of the stripper pic you sent Tony.

Might be a good thing not to watch Leigh's fancy ford putting a better time than I did with the R.

Calder was pretty crap last night, got there at like 7 and only got 2 runs until 12.. (with a small dinner break).. around 300 cars there. First run was complete shait, left it in full auto performance mode with traction control off and span 1st 2nd 3rd off the line drifting next to the wall with a 2.7 60ft just let off.. 2nd run was a bit better 13.2 but hit limiter in 1st to 2nd which would of cost me that 12.

Until next time! will definitely be heathcote though. Less cars ftw. Probably enter in that tri battle thing - Ash you going??

Also met Grant down there in his R with a slipping clutch from looks of things :P

Mph?

Mph?

108 on the only half decent run, 92 cruisin my 17 sec quarter after I mc'royally f**ked the start

Just finished cleaning some of the rubber off the car, decent amount came off the tyres for just 2 2nd gear burnouts

I did 109.71 on my 2nd run.

Damn you and your fancy ford tongue.gif

Is that the tri-club battle thing? Might get my entry in soon. Hoping for a 115mph

Shouldn't be hard my GTR only had 233 rwkw at the time and couldnt go any faster than 111 cos of speed limiter lol.

Get your entry in brah I did mine today

Ye Calder in all honesty is NOT the place to go to test/tune. Really need to drive to Heathcote these days.

Calder is just toooooo busy :(

I'm waiting for Snowman to get back from Bali. If he says we are doing Mt Baw Baw Sprint - then I won't be...

If I don't do Baw Baw then 100% be @ drag challenge :)

Yeah, waited almost a hour for a run, and bikes get more runs than we do with cars...

Farkin this...there's that magic (or not so) age in your twenties where you just can't do it anymore lol. When I was at uni I could go out on a thursday night and be at uni the next day on 4 hours sleep. Anything less than 8 these days and I feel like ass!

The majority anyway, I know some my age that can happily pull all-nighters nearly every day of the week. I think I stopped being able to do that at about 22.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
