BOOSTD: wrxhoon's name is jerry ;) and his best times were 12.07(pretty sure) but i know he ran 12.1.. apparently his last run was shit (after i left) so u must have seen that :D

terminal speed was 120mph on his best run, but with a crappy 2.0something 60 foot time, so could be a lot faster!

That m coupe was crazy! sounded good...and backed it up :)

yea you are right arup best time was 12.069 @120.24 mph and 2.017 60 ft

that was the run i had with bill ( butthead ) he ran [email protected] mph and 1.866 60 ft .

bill ran 12.1 on his last run .

on my last run i got a good start 1.873 60 ft but then hit the cutout anded up running 12.333 @115.89 mph

on an earlier run i did 12.157 @119.87 mph and 2.089 60 ft ( bogged down on that run not enough rpm and dropped the clutch to quick .

it was much easier to take off with the smaller turbos .

it must have been very slippery today though , mick could only get 2.0 6o ft ,

last time we went he got 3 runs 1.8.. , 1.8.. and 1.7...

ah well i'm goping to have another go at 11 pass sometime in the near future ( went so close today i'm sure i'll get it )

next time u will hopefully get the 11 sec pass, it is a definite possibility...coming down to the launch and how slippery it is i guess!! it was great to watch, cant wait to have a run myself (when i actually get another car!)

Im not even going to bother saying what i got other than pissed off with numerous things. Good thing u didnt come up jase was a waste of time. Organisation was shit and i arived at 3:30 and only got 2 runs after 2.5 hours in the scrutineering line. what a ****ing joke!!!!!!!

One good thing was that I had a few words with the events co ordinator and also with Jim Reid himself and let them in on a few problems going on in the night that with some work could improve things for everyone in the future. Heres hoping it does!!!!

I guess ill just have to wait till the next street meet and see if anything changes.

Cheers

Scott.

      Time will tell, they're doing all the admin stuff at the moment. I've submitted all the required details, photos, etc.   I was under the impression that DC coupling is the best approach, i.e.: Solar Array -> Battery Invertor -> Battery  Where as AC Coupling is simpler, however less efficient, i.e.: Solar Array -> Solar Invertor -> Battery Invertor -> Battery

      The price is really great for that kind of capacity. I thought similar setups cost way more. How's your efficiency been with the DC-coupling? I've heard sometimes there can be a bit of a performance loss.

      Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.

      In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
