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.


If you don't have 4wd you can't just dump it. Gotta be mean to the clutch.

Mickey Thompson et streets if you want to get off the line faster and a pair of rims to stick them on if you can't swap tyres cheap/easily.

If you can soften the rear it will help and or get some subframe bushes from Lachlan if you don't have aftermarket ones to help it squat.

Relatively cheap changes to get you leaving the line better.

Roughly every 0.1s you can reduce the 60 foot you will be 0.2s faster overall. So if your 60 foot is terrible as it sounds like it is, you can gain a lot by sorting that out.

@Hank Scorpio recommended camber arms brands? Thinking of getting Fast&Furious set for the 36 but not sure if the cost of getting it is of any benefit lol

My knees are ruined dude. I had the call from HR where they brought up the fact that it's permanent, and that they are still trying to "figure out" what to do.

We also had a shake-up with management in my store, so... we'll see where that leads.

    • Just to be clear, there were no lights or codes when the hiccups were occurring. Also nothing noticeable in the cars' braking. It brakes fine and the dash is clear. I only made the connection when it did throw a code and suddenly, despite the lights, it felt great again. 
    • Yeah they are sliders and this was in my head before I worked out it was the speed sensor.
    • Ok so we have a smoking gun.  A few weeks ago I had to replace a speed sensor that I'd fit incorrectly. I replaced the sensor and everything was fine with no lights or codes thrown any longer.  When I was doing some more bedding in yesterday I got ABS and traction control lights again and, considering when this happens those things are disabled, the pedal went back to normal with smooth braking and no hiccups.  The codes thrown are for the same speed sensor that I replaced. When I looked at the sensor I took out it looks like the tip of the sensor is damaged. So whatever happened to it, perhaps it has damaged the magnetic ring on the bearing (that I only replaced the other week). I'll get my boroscope in the hole where the sensor goes and see if there is any damage in there. Hopefully just the tip of the sensor is in there and the bearing is fine. 🤞🏻  It's worth noting also that the pedal hiccup happens more often and for longer periods now and totally goes away when the codes are thrown again which happens usually after 5 or so minutes of driving. Love all your help here as usual guys, thanks!
