Damn that's a good time I'd be very happy with that.

I wish I could get my run in except they've cancelled for the last two weeks due to weather :(

Soon the AR-X's will own best times in 3 states.

1 may even have the Australian title! :P

Maybe I do just need to keep throwing cash at mine so I can take it back for the RS boys

I can't wait to get the rs260 down the drags, sort the clutch out then before the mods will do a run to see what mph I'm getting at the end or the 1/4 for bench mark!

Hoping ill get it lower 60 foot than my VL! Don't think ill get it lower than what the VL has run! If I can get it as low as what rbnt got his rs260 up here 11.8 ill be very happy :) ps I wish the track was only 28 degrees most of the time it's in the 30's plus

Any ideas on what a completely stock 250t rx 4 would run?

Im heading to the Eastern creek drags on the 22nd if anyone else is keen.

Possibly keen. Just gotta see if my car is happy before then.

Would like to see where I'm at currently.

Mine ran a 14.9 completely stock.

Had my first run ever at the drags last night.. Only got 4 runs in. The best I could muster was 13.4 pretty happy with that..

The car kept getting really cold as we were having over hour waits between runs..

Hopefully keep improving the car and the tune...

It's a lot easier to keep a car warm than to cool it down, mine was heat soaked and I could do nothing about it. Other guys were putting bags of ice on their coolers and engines to help combat the heat.

I should probably get up to Heathcote soon now it's winter and get a time on the current tune, I am only going down in power from here. (perhaps back to a highflow soon) I have had my fun...

I had two similar runs at 13.4 at 102-103 mph.

I'm amazed at how much the brake cut makes a difference I forgot to turn it on for the first two runs :( and got 14.5-14.2.

Yea totally agree Scotty but if the transmissions cold would that effect times etc as its not possible to warm it up without moving anywhere?

I'm sure there are many factors that could lower my time ;)

    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
    • Easiest way to know is to break out the multimeter and measure it when cold, then measure all the resistances again once it gets hot enough to misfire. Both the original ignitor and the J Replace version. Factory service manual will have the spec for the terminal measurements.
