Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

There's a really nice stealth black R32 in engine bay picks section with powerglide. Have been weighing up options and this approach for something for quick street/drag. Wet clutch, torque multiplication and transbrake for drag would make for a very interesting launch, if the theory meets the real world. Fingers crossed :)

there was a 500kw 32 in town that had a 2 speed in it, but i never got to go in it. had about a 5500rpm stall on it

then again getting hi powered rwd off the line cleanly is all in the launch control/suspension setup and how much rubber you can stick under it

lol look at the advice google gives you on that

So true. Set up will be drag orientated, but engineered. I get a pretty good supply of used Michelin race slicks from Porsche Cup car. They aren't totally gone, approximately 50%, but won't be using these on street - they are atrocious cold and HWP don't tend to see the positive traction side lol

What do you mean? Hwp love seeing racing slicks on imports on the street. They love that sort of behaviour. :P

On that note, morning all!

Cost/gain analysis - $50 each and no drag bags slapping into arches/guards and better grip than semis

They will have worse grip than streets let down to 20psi. Been there done that, it doesn't work.

On 18" qualifying tyres? This hasn't been my experience.

Yep. They have no side wall and no bag and most of them have seen too many heat cycles too. Good for circuit terribly shite for drag racing. A good set of drag radials picked up .5 of a second in the 60ft. 2 seconds down to 1.5.

The lesson I learned from all this is to use a tyre for what it is built for. If you aren't you are pushing shit up hill.

What a lovely day, and tomorrow is Friday :D

Tis a nice day. I am outside for half of it too. I do have to audit a fish processing plant though. .. bit worried about that, walking past the fish section at coles makes me gag

    • Nah, turn the boost up, break the gearbox, and enjoy leaving it parked for a few years while you save for a better box...
    • I see those two Stageas have the "punched 40mm hole" deregistered Japanese number plates 👍 Nice kouki group shot with the different colours too. 
    • Ended up just being a loose exhaust bolt luckily.
    • Yeah I made that post way too early, sorry I must have assumed it was bad because it's a 20+ year old thrashed shitbox lol. It was just a loose exhaust bolt. 
    • Like others have said, drop the power to give your drivetrain a % of reliability until you can up the drivetrain reliability  It isn't rocket science, build power to the weakest link with a % of safety Whilst upping the the reliability of the drive train is costly, there's no point in having the engine make big power if it keeps eating the drivetrain....ask me how I know, I had the tow truck on speed dial for a few years, and I spent huge amounts of money fixing issues and breakages that really would have been cheaper in the long run if I did it right the first time Me, I like a nice sized fudge factor, that keeps me off the tow truck
