Nige is up there with the Orange Supra... he gonna get banned for sure lol

That wouldn't happen to be the orange "650kw 10 Sec twin turbo street-driven Supra RZ" on the cover of the new issue of Speed would it?

I haven't had a chance to read the article yet, but if the caption on the cover is anything to go by, the car sounds (and looks) like a bloody weapon. If it's the same car, it'll be interesting to see how it goes on Sunday.

AND....if it has already done a 10sec. pass.....it will NOT be racing !

the ANDRA rules are clear cut and designed with safety in mind.....So if the car does not have a current ANDRA technical inspection sticker,and the driver hasn't got a current ANDRA UDL drag race licence. The car park is about as far as it will go.

According to the article, it's run a 10.91 @ 129mph at Heathcote.

Sounds like a long way to come from Melb to Syd, only to leave it in the car park though :confused:

Provided we're talking about the same car here of course...

is this car entered in "street car of the year"?...looks like no points for the drag component of the scoring for all (and that includes Dominic, TOF-55T) competitors who do not comply with the ANDRA technical specifications, that have previously ran a 10sec pass.

Well done Adrian, i saw new PB of 11.8 a top effort because you raced the loudedst car of the day supercharged 20B RX7 and do not know how you could have heard your engine for the first 60 foot.

What was your 60 foot because it looked to be your best launch of the runs i saw.

I only saw TWO06L run a couple of times, 11.2 the best.

Intercooler pipe blew off twice in a row resulting in a major vaccuum leak after the AFM. Car = no worky :)

Fixed that problem with an extra hose clamp and a shit load of huge cable ties and then developed a misfire but this cleaned up on my last qualifier which was completed without the bottle.

Once the car felt right again, I went out with the gas and ran an 11.98 with the car bogging down badly on the launch. Gave it a bit more on the next pass and went 11.85 @ 116.47 mph.

What started out as a terrible, shitty day became good things turned around and I went quicker than I ever have. I firmly believe there's another tenth or three in there yet.

Thanks to all of the people who lent a hand or offered help when it all looked very bad. You're champions.

Adrian

      The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.

      But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...

      I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference

      I didn't actually try it at the time but a Launch X431 with the appropriate software licenses/upsell will have the ABS bleed function. The Consult II you can still find some old sets of equipment but they're really, really expensive:

      Well I'll start by saying I'm not an engineer. I am going to go with the KiwiCNC ones.  They are made of 7050 alloy have good fillets and radius.  The material alone is in the order of double the strength and fatigue resistance - Those bolts, once torqued correctly place most of the load at the flat face of the mating surface - the 'stretch' you're talking about through torqueing them up would be far more than the extra stretch 'load' placed on them from a steering input or bump. (in my opinion) so I doubt they would flinch.    - but again "not an engineer".      oh and I don't think stitch welding 7050 is a good idea, likely just weaken the material (from what I read)
