drag radials!!!! and suspension

are you taking raised suspension to fit drag radials under the car, or lowered suspension? stock suspension is better for drag racing than a set of coil overs.

WTF are you smoking?

Your reaction time is the time it takes from when the green light lights up, and when you break the first beam.

Your reaction time, is all about how QUICKLY you react to the green coming on. If you had come to the SAU NSW drag day we held not long back, Sydney Dragway officials even explained this.

What can quite majorly effect your ET is your 60 Foot time. This is the time it takes for you to travel the first 60 feet of the track. 0.1 of a saving here can be 0.2 of a saving at the top end of the track.

For your ET, your reaction time means NOTHING.

baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahaha, you might want to read some of the earlier posts in the thread next time to stop yourself looking silly.

silly.

No raised suspension..ye NEW standard stuff is better than circuit coil overs...but anyone semi serious about it doesnt have standard springs and shocks in the back

Previous launch was a 4100RPM drop, this time i'm thinking release the clutch before the friction point while giving gas just before the car starts to move(hand brake or something to stop it from going forward) then slipping (or trying to :P) the clutch out? I'm all for suggestions guys.

if you weren't loading the car up on the handbrake last time then definitely do it next time. doesn't do the clutch much good but it will give you the best launch. test it out tomorrow on the road and you will notice the difference.

Tried it today, soon as the clutch is fully released it still chirps a few times but not as bad as before. Took off a fair whack faster though, kinda like stalling an Auto up.

    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?
    • Summernats cruiser?
    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
    • But if you had to go bury a body in the forest, would you not put that in the boot? Most of them are >=90kg these days.
