How many of these car's actually drive to the track under there own steam and not on a trailer + how many of them change there tires once they get to the track.... a true street car should be able to rock up to the track, do a few passes, then drive home simple as that.

That Yellow Corolla used to when it was running 8s, not sure now that it has the wheelie bars. Also his 7.97 was run on 275 Dot aprroved tyres.

Event points.

h) 400 metre sprint Each crew will score points towards their nominated forum based on their fastest lap for the event to the following scale

1.25. Fastest outright-40 points

1.26. Fastest 4WD 20 points

1.27. Fastest- RWD 20 points

1.28. Fastest- FWD 20 points

I was trying to point out what can happen if dot approved tyres and rego are the only rules, anyways mite have to make a weekend of it and drive down. Are all event going to be open to

spectators Ash? get my go SAU banners and Pom poms.lol

Thanks Brad

It's an ARC round Brad = 100% spectator driven.

In fact the more ticket that sell under the "SAU" banner, more points we receive.

More details to come on that in a few weeks, so hold off for now. But it will be an awesome event. I've been in contact with some rather special cars :thumbsup:

Again - On DOT Approved Radials.

Both those cars are tubbed on slicks :rolleyes:

Mark Hayes' Torana is a baby hydraulic cammed 496ci that'd be lucky to run a 10. Scott Hoffman's OKE020 is registered and runs 7's on radials but isn't together. BU5TER is a roller with no engine (when it comes back the new owner is looking for 7's, no rego and on big f**king slicks). Surely something running low-10's/high-9's from SAU would shit this in?!

We are hoping to run a mid to high 9sec pass on the 19inch Advan AD08's on our next outing, will not be putting17inch M/T's tyres on until we have can absolutely cannot get any more improvement on the Advans at this point in time the car is still under testing and is getting faster and faster with every run. Can't wait to head back out to the track and crack a 9sec pass.

Well the entry list is now upto 4 cars for the 400m dash

AND...

NO MORE STREET REGO

I've dropped a PM to superjet, however he has not been online in over a month. If someone knows him personally and could give him quick call and point him in his PM box direction it would be great!

As the rules have changed, anyone with some non-rego'd cars around??? I reckon there would be a few interested people now especially given we need a team of FOUR!!!

HUGE NEWS!!!

superjet760 looks like making the trip to Melbourne, to fly the SAU flag in the 400m

8.9 sec pass on DOT radials - Perhaps even faster.

Will have 100% confirmation in approx 2 weeks, and pending no more setup issues (or unfortunate failures) - this is a GO!

This is some excellent awesome news. Still need 2 more cars at this stage.

Spread the word - Team SAU is taking brilliant shape already.

im not caged or teched but im happy to go out on radials with my gtr... still a stock 5 spd at the moment but the T400 shouldnt be too far away... (been saying this since may but apparently everything is ready to go)

mine makes around 1050 at the wheels at the moment but if i race it ill prob throw another 5 pounds in it.

if not, im ready to hire out WSID for a private day and do some testing if anyone is keen shoot me a message.

I heard this made 1300hp with the auto :worship:

  • 3 months later...

1300hp at the wheels. Should run 7.4 .. We make 1200 hp all 4 wheels to run 7.6 at 180 plus mph .

We ran 8.69 on my drag radials .. Liberty trans .. 9.0 with ppg .. Auto is similar to a clutch less box .. Very easy to drive prob nos of the trans brake also ..

If we continued on the drag radials a 7.9 sec pass would be possible but grip level would be questionable !!!!

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
