After a very long wait, Alex has piloted wreckedhead's 'JETT' to a 10.8 tonight at WSID.

Having some problems with the activation of the gas saw an early 11.1. But all this changed when the 50 shot kicked in and the 127mph terminal speed and 1.59 sec 60' time joined forces to produce the 10.8 he's waited for for so long.

With a relatively low mph, it's the 60' that does the talking here but wheelspin especially in the front is said to still be a big problem so slicks are the next order of the day and (I hope) a bigger shot of gas!

I'm assured that the timeslip will be scanned when he gets home from the strip and posted for us to drool over.

Well done wreckedhead, seriously impressed that it's finally here.

Adrian

Thanks. I've given it a really good clean (warm water only) and I always make sure the air conditioning is on a low setting before I launch.

What I'm doing on this forum is learning how to improve my ETs from other guys with late model fuel injected cars that run IRS!

mate did Alex pilot the car for the 10.8 or yourself

i tried my luck at taking it down the track with the 50shop, but untill alex came and told me the gas was leaking out of the pressure gauge, we fixed the problem took the gauge off and he took it for its first proper drag with gas, after he run the 10.8 he got banned.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
