I am feeling a bit bored. Maybe I'll head out tomorrow night in rwd and give it a go. Need the practice. First time and all.

It's a bit tricky to get it off the line quick. It just wants to spin the wheels on stall.

if all geos well ill run this saturday see what it does very keen to improve on my old time

I would be keen too but I will have a car here to work on. :(

Tuning the 76 tomorrow night, I can already see there will be improvement, hopefully the top end is the same or better too.

Do it !!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????

Couldn't find you after Rudi, you must have Taken off. Well done on the pb.

For the first time, it was a steep learning curve! I lol'd at myself for doing single spinner burn outs. Oh well. :P

1st run was a 13.96 at 100 mph so I was happy to be in the 13s / 100s right away. Nice feeling. Second run was a mass of wheel spin off the line and a 14.8 lol. Tried too much stall.

Last and best run was a 13.84 at 161km with a 2.2 60 foot. Found that I could only launch with a bees dick worth of boost, like1psi. Otherwise it was just instant single tyre frying!

Look forward to getting the front shaft in and shooting for a 13.5.

Nice work guys!

Well done Alex on a 13 first time out! Time for that LSD and the front shaft; there's obviously a fair bit more in it with some stall and more traction. :thumbsup:

I'd really like to get out next Wed if anyone is keen; would've loved to go last night, but work gets in the way...

Thanks Dale.

Rudi, I parked up and went to watch some cars. Those ford turbos really boogy. The PAC rotor was good to watch too.

It was a great feeling reeling people in down the track. The start was slow, but all the cars I raced I reeled in down the track. Just the feeling like it was over so quick too.

Good work Alex :)

2.2 is very good for a heavy car with a single spinner. Shows the 3.5 has the torque to move the weight.

    • Do not ever trust ChatGPT with anything math related. They can't do math. They have no idea what it is. With enough data we can fit a decent equation in Excel, or if the available fits in Excel aren't good enough, a Matlab clone.
    • You could check/calibrate that with a thermometer, we have long glass thermometers at work which go from -10 to +150°c, they are pretty cheap too I believe,  as monkey fisted soldiers tend to break them, and getting new ones don't seem to send red flags to the people that hold the purse strings Edit: after a google they apparently cost about $80, but, digital ones seem to be much cheaper at around $40

    • Me, I would happly spend some more coin on better tyres for my street car  Will they work, yes, of course, but why substitute some dry grip/braking distance, and wet weather grip/braking distance on what is really old tech to save some coin on your "precious" street car In the end it might not be you that farks up, it's the thousands of other idiots on the street that you need to worry about  For a street car that gets some "fun time", I have found that a quality tyre that can handle dry, wet, cold (Canberra gets pretty cold) and hot conditions, which may costs a little more, is great insurance  From my experience with them (driving around Goulburn in the winter) the RE003's are pretty poor in cold and/or wet conditions on the street If RS4's didn't hate gripping in the cold I would be running them always on the street,  great in the dry, OK in the wet, but, they do hate the cold, with a passion, I run PS5's year round now, basically, I've found the PS5 to be a great year round street tyre for all conditions, they last well, and are mid range pricing wise TL;DR. Tyre choice is probably like what brand and grade oil you should use, ask 10 people, and get 10 different answers... LOL
