Sounds okay, but at 225kms from home, I think I'll have to pass :(

About the same distance for me to Willowbank. Went once & they cancelled at last minute due to some clouds :verymad:.

All i have done is a new 3 inch, hi flow cat and some mandrel bends. (This had to be done as original looked like a piece of swiss cheese)

I dont know what Mr Miagyi did to it in Japan as now the fun begins to find out. I have only had it 3 months so looking to see what i can do to it?

Grabs tin opener & heads to the pantry to find that can of worms stashed in the back.

BTW, 14.1 is a great time for 'just an exhaust'. There's a good chance you'll find some other goodies when you start digging.

Was annoyed to miss out last week meeting up with those who went to WSID. So i ventured out this evening for my first ever run and the first in the " Black Hearse".

Run # 1. 14.8

Run # 2. 14.5

Run # 3. 14.3

Run # 4. 14.1

Pretty Happy!! :yes: hey great time, welcome to the 14.1 class, what was your 60" time

Hi Rudi,

60" time was 2.051.

At least it was pleasing to loose to a Skyline.

:action-smiley-069: waves goodbye to the Skyline as it runs a 11.8 @119mph. Great effort!!

Wow great 60' get that lower and your in the 13 sec. Was the skyline maroon colour?

Silver in colour. Pulse Racing sticker on rear window.

A few things i will do next time to maybe achieve that 13.

1. Not be so nervous as it was my first time at the drags.

2. Dont go out with a full tank of fuel (price rose 24 cents a litre that afternoon on way home) :stupid:

3. Go when it not the hottest day since winter. 5pm - 25c. 8.30pm - 19c.

4. Adjust tyre pressure?

5. Practice luanches. ( maybe when kids aren't in car) :whistling:

6. Get car tuned.

Thats why i was happy with a 14.127 @ 98.38 mph.

i dont think tyre pressure is an issue, the tracks to damn sticky anyways to get a good skid/launch :(

Terrible night over all, Rain stopped things for a while, shit box VL dropping oil twice and some other piece of crap dying at 3/4 track.

Best I could manage was 12.6 with a 1.9 60 foot and 185 kmh trap speed. Really struggling to get it off the line with the new clutch.

    • Just to be clear, there were no lights or codes when the hiccups were occurring. Also nothing noticeable in the cars' braking. It brakes fine and the dash is clear. I only made the connection when it did throw a code and suddenly, despite the lights, it felt great again. 
    • Yeah they are sliders and this was in my head before I worked out it was the speed sensor.
    • Ok so we have a smoking gun.  A few weeks ago I had to replace a speed sensor that I'd fit incorrectly. I replaced the sensor and everything was fine with no lights or codes thrown any longer.  When I was doing some more bedding in yesterday I got ABS and traction control lights again and, considering when this happens those things are disabled, the pedal went back to normal with smooth braking and no hiccups.  The codes thrown are for the same speed sensor that I replaced. When I looked at the sensor I took out it looks like the tip of the sensor is damaged. So whatever happened to it, perhaps it has damaged the magnetic ring on the bearing (that I only replaced the other week). I'll get my boroscope in the hole where the sensor goes and see if there is any damage in there. Hopefully just the tip of the sensor is in there and the bearing is fine. 🤞🏻  It's worth noting also that the pedal hiccup happens more often and for longer periods now and totally goes away when the codes are thrown again which happens usually after 5 or so minutes of driving. Love all your help here as usual guys, thanks!
    • Could you put a real seat and harness in instead of what looks like leaving your passenger balancing on a milk crate
