Well my first time back at wsid in about 8mths with high hopes and that's where it ended. My car is now running better than ever and once again I still couldn't grab a decent time, I feel like headbutting a brick wall :(

I did manage to get a new PB but only by literally a bee's dick.

1. 14.489 @ 94.84mph / 2.190sec

It felt nice and smooth, launch was the usual but for some reason I was -way- down on mph, I didn't even miss a gear :D

2. 15.265 @ 100.23mph / 2.737sec

First run after a 30min rain period. Absolutely no grip on the greazy track and simply bagged em up!

3. 14.145 @ 102.07mph / 2.167sec (<- new PB)

Tried to slam the gears harder, felt smooth once again and managed to get a new PB (old PB was 14.163 @ 100.20mph / 2.148sec).

4. 14.252 @ 100.87mph / 2.166sec

Once again was trying to work the gears hard but was slightly slower even though it felt just as good *shrugs*

5. 14.571 @ 98.02mph / 2.184sec

Used low boost this time (7psi) just for shits n giggles (even though high boost is only about 8-9psi haha).

As you can see my launches are pretty much spot on everytime (even though 2.1xx sec is not overly impressive atleast it's consistent). Sure I could grab some semi-slicks or even drag nitto's etc and probably shave off a tenth or 2 but I shouldn't need to when i'm making a solid 195+ rwkw. I'm a good 0.5sec off the pace of where I believe I should be (and the times others are doing in similar powered cars) and im stumped as to what it is (obviously it's the driver).

Was a great nite of racing (besides the rain periods). Some awesome cars about and probably the biggest meeting i've seen in a good 5-6mths. Wish I left my car in the carpark and spectated instead.

i only ended up getting 240RWKW

need to lower compression gonna get a steal head gasget, that will bring her up to the 290 mark.

im gonna buy some slicks soon, just gotta find out how to fit them without removing the brakes, 16" is the only size that can go on.

any1 know where i can get piks from last night??????

Sorry mate as I've said several times in the past the 20g wont flow enough to make 290 its impossible, maybe some decent drag radials would be better then slicks as then you don't have to worry about the added cost of front runners

    • Haha no I'll do that one tomorrow. I've been ignoring it. It's the 5.0 one I'm taking about. (There is a little X to hide the 4.7 one if you want)
    • So I'm going to have to keep ignoring the 4.7 update, or whatever version it is? Poop. I was hoping you'd put me out of my misery.
    • We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.
    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
