Edit: I know it's a lame excuse, but I went from 2nd to 5th in the 12.09 run.. so maybe it has a bit more left in it before I change a few things.

I did the same on one of my runs and ran a 15.1 cause I took it out of 5th and stuffed around trying to get in 3rd...

The car and driver are both FREAKS I tells ya.

Seriously Chris - Farking awesome effort dude :(

...and the best thing is that his car is setup for the track so has nice stiff HKS suspension, so gives me heart that with my softer setup, i may be able to still get ok traction.

So when are you getting on to Eastern or Wakefield, this thing will soon be beating some long held GTST lap records

Rear suspension:

Hicas disconnected

Solid alum bushes

HKS Hyper D on some harsh setting

9kg/mm springs (12 on front)

Putting on the HKS drag shocks for the next meeting, going to change the exhaust housing sometime soon too.

Troy, are there any lap records? I can't drive for crap though, that's the sad thing - you've still got that footage of me "drifting" (aka loosing it coming out of a corner an spearing off into the mud doing a 180' spin). I think there's still pics on the net of me "drifting" in the purple 180SX - doing the same 180 deg spin/ off the drag.

hes only 2.?mph quicker then my time. thats were i was reflecting the difference. not in 1/4mile time. my bad if it came out that way

Fair enough...

I wonder why my car had such a slow terminal speed :D It had the same turbo as Chris, but with a 0.84 exhaust housing :rofl:

Andrew, your T.S. was slower because your car was so neat + tidy. If you take less care with your car, it goes faster.

I think there's half a Sidchrome set floating around in the engine bay, as well as a bag of bolts leftover sitting in the center console that I don't know where they go...

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
