I guess by the sounds of it u didnt do so well/?

Nah I pulled sweet times... 12.3's the whole way through......whackit:

Well busted right hand rear coilover doesn't help plus drfit style suspension plus as paul said crap hard rear tyres might make a difference.... in all honesty though it was my 1st time and i am a pretty crap dragging.... good at rolling starts but anyone can do them..... before i ever dragged i didn't really think much of it... i know realise that it is more than just ruinning in a straight line! there is so many little tips and techniques that have to be done... so i admit it I am pretty crap, i know if i fixed those little things there is a possibility for a very low 13 and if i pull me finger out maybe a high 12... but with those little probs that my car had (which will all be fixed in 2 weeks :-) ) plus the fact that i will practise a bit more hopefully in the next month i might have a run down the quarter again... plus if the new gym job goes well i have a few little surprises and presents for SLY which might help me out a bit :-)

    • 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)
