Ugh what a shocking night :( :(

* Bad gear selection problems on all 5 runs

* Ben can't drive

* New rear muffler is super restrictive so I had no top end and low boost

* Ben can't drive

* Paul decides their aren't enough clouds in the sky so makes his own

* Ben can't drive

* Mark has a damaged gearbox

Ah well I still did a new PB's for everything (R/time, 60ft, TS, ET) so I guess I got what I set out to do. I'll be out there again sometime over the next month hoping for a massive improvement.

f**king worst experience of motoring i have ever done

shithouse f**king gearbox. did not wanna break it (so i would be around long enough for the burnout comp!!) so launched off slicks with low revs - bog down and get shithouse times

whack some streeties on. cant get into 2nd gear on the drag.

then burnout comp. car works for 30 seconds. then lose all power

f**k cars

wish i had a 6 pack in the fridge right now

Nick you bastard you didnt even say hi !!! :blink:

First time ever out on the drag strip.....so yeah not too pissed off but not too happy either about the 13.9.

What did piss me off was the fact that I only got 3 runs in the space of 3 hours......

Mark once again thanks for lending me the helmet......and I hope ya can get ya car up and running again..

Paul and Stace it was nice to finally meet yall :D

Lets hope it IS an oil seal and nothing major........

Did someone say twin HKS 3037s ???? :D

Ruk thanks for the ciggies between the runs........helped calm the nerves :D hehehehe....

Mona you suck at being pit crew......haha only kidding....thanks for coming out :)

Ok now that all the thankyous etc are out of the way.....I have to say that I now have a lot more "respek" for this drag racing thing....its not as easy as I thought.....and wsid only being 10min from my house...I think I could get addicted :D

but nah....have to stay true to circuit racing...

Oh and Pete...ie fatz....I cant beleive you carry an esky with you everywhere you go !!!!! oh and when can I get one of them clutchfcuker shirts ?? :D

hahahaha....

Edited by shonen

sounds like a busy night. did you run nick?

What kind of time did paul run before the failure?

and ben, must be good to be out in the GTR mate. i think we need to work on those short times though :P with the 104mph you should be able to drop down that time a bit without needing any more power. congrats though on breaking into the 13 sec zone :O:) :)

yeah pete is great eye candy to have around too. only problem is i can never score when he's near by as all the chicks are fighting each other to get into his pants.

lol i go once a year

and every time i go i say man that was boring as shit... what a waste of time... and once again i left with the same feeling

mind you he two scouters running a 29's each was a highlight

the gtr that blew the turbo seal man you should have heard it at half track lol id say 10-20 seconds away from a massive engine blow up go the 5 cylinder gtr

marks car is dead and might have ripped its last burnout for a while

best part was the burnout truck ... yea baby

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
