Yeah - I'm getting my guards lipped so I can fit some nitto's under the back.

Hopefully then I'll get a decent time! :D

Cheers,

Matt with that MPH and a better 60ft you'll into 11's easy.

awesome must makin some hp?

Updated !

R33vit.. seen you stage against a loud v8 and expected you a slow pass (damn those cars are loud when your trying to listen to your own cars revs). Was quite surprised when you got to the other end in only 13.3 what changes have you done to your launching technique coz I want a 1.89 60ft :D

Last week I was launching on the potenzas as if they where my Grid II's (wrong)

this week I was launching from 5k as always but insted of feeding the power I was just nailing it from 5k.. Gotta love the potenzas:aroused: .. The New Power FC helps a lot too.:)

BTW - All the talk about reaction times, in my case, it was a Dial Your Own time, and I was racing a slower car! So for a bit over a second, I was sitting there watching the other car dissappear into the distance!

Still caught him tho :D

Cheers,

matt

Ben,

There seems to be some discrepencies with the reaction times on your list... I know it doesn't really count for much but just thought I would mention it...

At Willowbank, a 0.400 is a perfect reaction... Anything less is a red light... It seems this is different at WSID where a 0.000 is a perfect reaction?

This is likely to be the case at a few other tracks...

Make of it what you will...

At WSID when the light turns green the r/time starts. So if your r/time is 0.500 it took you 0.5sec to reaction to the green light. In 10yrs of watching drag racing i've never seen it any other way.

I disagree Ben... I've only ever seen perfect reaction times of 0.4...

If you read page 10 of the following rulebook from ANDRA, all will be clear...

http://www.andra.com.au/technical/drafts/i...credentials.pdf

And I quote:

The best reaction time possible is four tenths of a second - that’s the gap between the last amber light flashing and the green light coming on.
It appears to me that WSID are doing things slightly different from the norm... All I can suggest is you add 0.4 to the reaction times listed on WSID timeslips...

BenM you obviously havent been watching drag racing too closely over those 10 years then. Pre 2002 A perfect reaction time was a 0.4 Time between The last amber lighting and the green light lighting. Therefore anything before 0.4 was a false start,red light situation. With the invent of LED staging lights in 2002 NHRA changed the system to what it is now where -ve numbers are brake outs the over 0 is your reaction time. A few months later ANDRA also adopted this scheme.

A bit hard to tell what scheme each Track is using they all should be using the new system if they are andra approved tracks.

Have you ever raced DYO?

Ive raced DYO quite a few times, and witnessed many more national events. Reaction time Has nothing to do with the other car. That is the phsycical time of it. DYO often causes brake outs when the chasing car becomes to impatient. But Even in Handicapt index events reaction time starts when your light goes green.

How many DYO events have you done?

Did my first DYO bracket meet type event today.

New time update as follows:

ET - 11.959 sec

TS - 117.18 mph

60' - 1.697 sec

RT - 0.090

Tyres - Nitto NT555R's 245/50/16

    • 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! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
