I think my wife just worked out your plate. Is it from the old cartoon theme song. Godzilla, Godzilla and Godzookey.

I've told him this many times, but it happens to just be a coincidence that works nicely.

Don't burn the clutch out practicing

 

When you burn da clutch. [emoji52] n its lower than new.

The clutch pedal inches up or down. Other words when it bites is it lower to firewall or higher to the steering wheel when its worn. ?

 

Also is it auto adjusting or can i go do manual adjustments. ?

Being hydraulic it isn't gonna go down... I haven't burnt out enough to know this 100% but In theory the grip point will raise

Ha na its from the budwiser Commercial whazzzuuuuppp but one of the guys say hey dookey pick up the phone, and i preffered z00key

How was the second day on the job Dean? Man I was tired this morning. I went and picked up a huge lump of 12mm thick pipe and some turret punchings this morning. Then done a 11hr day just got home. I know what burnt toast feels like! Scrape off the shit and start again tomorrow!

what was your best pass last night? got a timeslip?

Panicked when I left the motor plex the diff had some judder on the first take off round the corner. Oi!. Went and done some figure of 8's and it was all good. When I changed the diff oil it did the same thing with fresh 75/90 so I got some ford l.s.d. Paste off Dave and it did the trick. I would assume from the launches and horrid rear end tramping through first and second on the slippery strip with no cornering it just pushed the good thickness out of the clutch packs. (hope so?) I launched it pretty hard close to home and it gripped and took off like a animal. I think the main problem on the launches was because I lifted the ride height on the tein basics and it firmed the whole car up on the set spring rate too much. It's pretty obvious also that the Achilles s2 are crap tyres. I scored the full set for $360 at cost price so nuff said.

I've noticed when the car is cold the full face n.p.c. Is real close to the floor. You have to bump it twice just to get going. But when the car is warm. (not thermostat hot) but driven it behaves pretty normally like the xr8.

[t_revz]

Best pass for the car was 12.8. But my reaction time was 0.7sec lol noob. 177kph terminal. So 13.5. I had major troubles hooking it up and had really bad tramping and wheelspin. Never done the 1/4 before. I tried dropping it at 4000.then 3500. Then 3000. And 2500 like traffic lights. Had 34psi in those shit Achilles tyres so nuff said. Lesson learned. Any tips or advice? Apart from new tyres or lower psi learned that the hard way. It only has the tein basic coil overs when I got the car it was on the deck and hooked up ok and left 11's on the road, but i raised it to 100mm all round for the police jockey wheel. through lifting it it has compressed the springs and is hard as all round. I was a bit disappointed with the times but even with a very mild launch it just tramped all the way through 1/2 under not full pedal and hooked up in 3. Bummer. Virginal. I launched it hard on the way home and it just hooked up and went with a tiny bit of tramping perfect. I thought the track would have way more grip than the street but total opposite. Live and learn. Was driving it through the the d/s window a couple of times. It has a full hicas delete but is obvious the tyres are crap with too much psi. Bummer. 4 wins and 1 loss with no Sau sticker. I got torched off the line by nearly everyone but 18psi in 3/4 sorted it. Bit embarrassing but there you have it. No traction at all. I reckon even with 100kg of sand bags in the boot would have been sweet.

Let the psi down, ur never gonna do much with low profile tyres anyways. Ur not gonna have much traction by just droping the clutch at what ever rpm, needs to be a gradual out with the clutch and on with the power. Like i said to pol, find that sweetspot where ur not on full boost but have some to leave with. Takes patience and practice. For the drag car we just stage it and push the transbrake button until the last amber lights up, the delay box then lets the car leaves at full noise when the light goes green lol

Might cable tie the wife and kids up next time and put them in the wheel well? I spun out on the lights a bit too. Nothing like the big boys on television? White amber's green. Whoops. Was trying to gradually build the boost up to 3500 about 9 p.s.i. like normal but... Whoops tramp spin ass Wednesday.

Yeah i did it gradually even down to a traffic light take off but it just fried the tyres and tramped under 3/4 acceleration all the way through 1/2 and hooked up in 3.

Boost night next Wednesday is going to be awesomeness when Sau shows its colours and we're all down there with our cars tools spare drag tyres, air compressors and a full range of knowledge and what not. Can't wait too learn from you guys and front up as a team so we can out perform everyone! I've booked the date in my calendar even though I'm busy at work. Can't wait!

Can go either way. If the clutch plate is worn we tend to have pickup real close to up top. If the pressure plate is buggered the pickup is real close to the floor.

 

They are adjustable via master cylinder to get it right
