whatsisname Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 A drum of VHT is over $1,600 and then add another few hundred for the drum of methanol they use to mix and prepare the compound. Rino then hires a tractor with spray attachment and so on to do the job. Using a hand held spray pack would take ages! I've run on a unprepared track and I couldn't get close to my best, and that was using Nitto drag radials. That said, I'm still keen for a private day but I need numbers before I can go any further. Could aim for early Aug, after 29th July meet. I've got a pair of new MT Street's in 265/40/18 on 18x9.5 - far from optimal but I'm keen to see how they go. 255 or 275 15 or 16 seem to be popular. I've got no chance of running under 11.0 so no dramas for me there but I can understand your dilemma, Andrew! Josh, what was your best time, mph, 60" at the recent meet? What tyres did you run?

MattR Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 If i can get some proper tyres ill be out there again. any recommendations for a 33 gtst rim and tyre size? i could have sold my nitto's to you. 275/40/17 great for the strip or find some et streets.

JETURBO Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 tyres are a huge factor with big launch especially u manual blokes but lower pressures with a higher wall helps big time and this stuff works very well http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/OCTOPUS-GRIP-PREMIUM-TYRE-SOFTENER-1L-RACING-MOTORSPORTS-IMPROVE-PERFORMANCE-/200682035853?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2eb994da8d again vht is good but overated, when ur trying to smash 2000hp down yeh u need everything u can get but us first 30ft is all done unless ur king of the hill like this ( sorry i had to lol) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/401979-eoi-private-drag-day-at-adelaide-14-mile-july-1st-2012/page/4/#findComment-6405472 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jap_star Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Josh, what was your best time, mph, 60" at the recent meet? What tyres did you run? 12.7 @121mph. best 60ft of 2.4, just ran stretche achilies 235/40 on a 9.5. less than ideal. cant even drop the pressure to much, just concerned the bead could pop on the tyre if i lowered it too much. best mph for the day was 124.XX. there was a friend of a friend there with a 31 that ran a 10.8 something on the day and he backed it up with a 10.4 and then was told to go home. The nittos would have been great, would have slipped over some GTT stockies quite nicely Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/401979-eoi-private-drag-day-at-adelaide-14-mile-july-1st-2012/page/4/#findComment-6405630 Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatsisname Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Solid MPH, just need a decent launch to run closer to full potential. How much grunt is your 33 making at the wheels?

ECR-033 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Im not too sure how i will go making this, clutch is starting to give in. would be keen to tag along and take some pics though. The 31 is regoed and was a daily untill recently, now the motor is about to become a 26/30 and put into a dedicated drag car.

ECR-033 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Ill be sure to give you a msg when I have some cash. What do you reccomend for a daily that will also see the track a few times a year? I have an excedy h/d at the moment which has done good for the last 3 years, but guessing i will need something a lillte more durable.
