I'm happy to say that I cracked a 12 with the Std turbo on my final run at WSID tonight :);) ;)

ET: 12.993 @ 104.40mph (60" 1.777)

After so many 13.1's and 13.0', it was good to finally get there :)

Also ended up winning 3rd in the reaction time competition, so a bloody good night all round :D

hey congrats i saw u running, impressive and i like the stock look!

would you mind listing your mods and what boost you run? i would like to run a 13, (with full street tyres) but need a few things changed so im interested in others to compare..

and btw the black wrx ran a best of 12.6 not 13.0.

apparently there was an accident at a roundabout nearby which stopped people from being able to get into wsid, the lady at the food shop told me, this would explain the lack of people.

Thanks mate :)

My current mods are:

PowerFC

EBC

FMIC

3" turbo back exhaust

Splitfire Ignition Coils

K&N panel filter

HD clutch

I was running 0.8bar (12psi) boost.

Good luck with the 12 ;)

sounds exactly like my car but i also have adjustable cam gear, and sheilded pod(no difference, only good for making annoying noise!)

i will be running with sticky normal tyres 255 wide toyo T1-Rs.

at the moment the car only runs 97-99mph and 14.5(on old tyres with crap 60') so i need to get a retune then i will run it.

anyway, the miss wednesdays all looked like they were 12, or else skanks, apart from the one tall one, im surprised your all interested!!!!!!

What's not to like?

The story is in my signature! The one year anniversary of my M Coupe being taken off the road for modifications is next Thursday 25th August. Same night I got booted from WSID after running a ten second pass.

Oh my god, i cant believe that was a year ago, it seems like a few months!!! that was the first time i went to the drags (to watch)

so whats next, 9s?

Yes definently is 12 second passes now the new 13 seconds

My brothers old car a S15 200 and and it ran a 13.2 which seemed really quick 2 years ago and was pretty much invinsible on the street but nowadays is concidered quite timid

As time goes on times will always tumble and i think in about 2-3 years time 12s will be average and 11s and lower might be considered quick

each to their own i say......ill be pushing the limits of our setup before reaching for the gas tap

Thats a fair call, but age and wear and tear is against you. In a stock car i did a similar thing, 2 years later when im ready to lean on it everything i replaced 2 yrs earlier is worn and needs replacing again :D

Make hay while the sun shines, get a few gas passes in, see what times it runs, then go back to running without the gas. Hell see if you can get near the gas time wihtout it by improving the setup, clutch etc...hate to reach the stalemate with your current setup driving for 6 months for 0.1sec only to kill the thing with the first hit of gas :(

Still think all you boys should just throw these engines fof yours into tubbed LJs with auto boxes :D

basically i put mine on gas as my 1/4 mile times were not upto scratch due to having a small capacity engine not being able to drag the stall up to its needed rpm. i had a 3400 stall and the when te engine was cold and the box was cold it would stall up no problems. when it was warm or hot after a few runs it would stall up resulting in low 12's at 124 mph and 2.2 sixty foots. the 40 shot gives it enough extra hp to get it on stall and give me consistant sixty foot 1.5's which in a 3460 pound rwd car is pretty awesome on street radials.

i would like to see some 10 sec GTR's run these type of sixty foots in RWD mode,

i never wanted to put mine on gas, but it was the only way to drop my sixty foots and get the car consistant. dont know what others think but i teckon tens out of a stock internal and stock head 2.5 ltire engine thats done 189540k's is pretty damn good.

would love to see what she will do with a plenum, throttle body, head work bug cams and some internals for longevity.

Shane,

Good effort and nice _Zoom_ feature. The world is full of weak c**ts who will never (or can never) give credit where it is due. Just go by the opinion of those you know and respect.

thats precisely what i do Mr Blonde, and thanks for the positive comments.

i take it you have a zoom subscription, i have too wait for it to come out at the newsagent. sucks.

well in relation to this topic for me the bench mark for a quick-ish street car was being able to do a 13 and run at over 100mph. now it's definately being able to go a 12 and run at over 105mph. maybe even 110mph. so for me 12s are the new 13s no doubt.

    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
    • Apologies for the long read My R34 GTT was up for sale at the beginning of spring due to a few repairs creeping up. The strut tops needed replacing, roof and bonnet (hood) painting (yay for 3 stage pearl) and the underside stripped and treated. I sold the car which allowed me to be in a much better place financially. Leading up to the sale I was already thinking about the replacement. In an ideal world it needed to be a good all-rounder. Something I can mess around with, modify, do track days, do the school run, go on long drives etc.  Options included but not limited to... Laurel C35, Evo 8/9, Civic FD2, Impreza Hawkeye, Aristo and even an Audi S4 Avant (I've already got the Mazda 6 wagon). But there was always one car at the top of the list The Toyota Mark ii JZX110 I found an advert on a Facebook group for an example in Japan, from a seller called Jon at Rising Sun Exports. A few messages back and forth and Jon calls me from Yokohama one morning (or afternoon in his case). He briefly explained the import process, the costs involved and a repeat of the advert. After much deliberation, the price was agreed and the sale was locked in. I've never imported a vehicle so I jumped into the unknown head first. The money transfer was completed through wise.com (fees apply), very easy to use and the money was with him within a day or two.  The car suspension was raised for the vessel and the car dropped off at the port. It was 7 weeks later when the bill of lading was received and the freight invoice sent to me, followed by the export certificate a couple of days after (both digital copies) In the mean time the port had been in contact. I needed an agent to deal with the NOVA (notification of vehicle arrival) along with the tax/duty invoice, this was £75.00. The port also had a fee of £100, I'm guessing to cover the cost of the 10 day 'free storage' and for moving the car off the boat etc. They need a copy of the vehicle invoice, freight invoice and export certificate to allow the vehicle to pass through customs. The vessel arrived on Tuesday 5th August, the tax/duty invoice was generated and sent over. This is generally tax 20% and duty 10% of the vehicle value. Although the invoice came in at a higher amount than I had calculated. Once HMRC had received the payment the vehicle could be released from customs. I thought once the tax/duty was paid you could collect at any point, that's not the case. Your agent will need to book a collection slot, I requested Thursday 7th which was accepted, with a 9:00am slot allocated. It was a 5:00am start from Norfolk heading to Southampton. We eventually found the compound, upon presenting the bill of lading and some ID they released the car (they drove it out of the compound to the front ready for us to load up). The email from the port stated each slot had a 10 minute window, which seemed abit farfetched but the staff said it's not a strict rule. We were there for approx. 30-40 mins in total. A week prior to collecting I contacted my garage and explained the situation, I was able to get an inspection slot that afternoon. For the registration, DVLA require the car to be insured, for this I used a company called Adrian Flux who can insure the vehicle using the VIN number.
