Well Ben - you can add my very ordinary effort of tonight.

R/T = .479

60' = 2.528

330' = 6.113

660' = 8.872

mph = 91.66

1000' = 11.178

ET = 13.118

MPH = 116.89

Km/h = 188.12

Must be able to do better then that - me thinks the driver needs more practice. :(

I'll scan the timeslip later - but you saw it.

hey b-man you wanna run :(

still at least your trying and the mph is good ;)

practice practice and practice

it would almost pay you to bring your car down to calder for a friday night you could get around 10-15 runs @ least if you try hard enough and the car can hack it now thats what I call practice

meggala

I know exactly how you feel Brendan ;) It's all part of the learning experience mate. I've had a drag meet where I started out with a 13.943 @ 117.35mph. In a way it actually makes you feel even better when you do finally nail a good one.

Gotta say though mate, you really suck at getting off the line :(

91.66mph at the 1/8th is very promising though. To give you an idea I had the following numbers on a 91.91mph at the 1/8th:

60' - 2.090

330' - 5.651

660' - 8.377

MPH - 91.91

1000' - 10.739

ET - 12.690

MPH - 119.12

My best numbers are:

60' - 2.143

330' - 5.492

660' - 8.188

MPH - 90.48

1000' - 10.531

ET - 12.473

MPH - 118.34

As you can see from my numbers above, it's a fine line between wheel spin and bogging it down. In the top run I had a good 60' (2.090) but then it light the rears up at about 70-80' and I lost out on ET. In the bottom one I came off the line slower and got better grip and therefore a quicker ET but lost out on top end MPH.

Yeah - I SUCK at getting off the line - It's much harder that you think hey.

If I give it too much, I seem to either wheelspin, back off and bog down - or the clutch slips (yeah still slipping on high boost)

That run was on low boost - high boost is slower (13.6) MPH is 117 -

I'm sure it is all driver related though.....

I was a bit disapointed to be honest - but hey practice make perfect :(

Hahaha... how hard can it be to go dead straight (well most of the time) for 400m? It's easy! Not when you've got a turbocharged engine that comes on boost like a mofo!

Keep at it mate. In another meet or two you'll have knocked 0.5sec off at the very least. You'll probably go mid/low 12's @ 120mph within the next two meets. And then when Brett gives you a shot on the Nittos you be into the 11's @ mid 120's. :(

He he - yeah me too - I had chronic axle tramp when trying to do a burnout - I think good suspension would help with the launches and traction -

But hey - it's easy to blame the car when most likely is the driver in my case :)

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
