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.

  • 3 weeks later...

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.

  • 2 months later...

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 !!!!

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
