Good to see you guys trying out Drag Racing!
Thanks. Had a heap of fun and Im sort of hooked. How ever I cant be to far gone because I really wanted to take that loop corner a hell of a faster then what I was. The best bit was having a few people coming up and commenting on the car and how well it looked, went and sounded which was a huge complement for me. And I smoked some bigger HP cars too.
My fastest time is as follows:
60': 1.9
1/8: 8.5 @ 79mph
1/4: 13.5 @ 96mph - 7300rpm 4th gear.
I did a couple other 13's (13.8, 13.9). Both in the low/mid 96mph. The 13.8 had a 2.1 60 foot and 96.1mph and the 13.9 run had a 96.5mph and 1.9 60 foot. That run I managed to pull 1st to 4th off the start line which sorted f@#ked the run but the times were still pretty good. My last run was the quickest. Gear ratios are 3.0, 1.9, 1.5 & 1.2 on a 4.1 cw&p.
Keeping in mind this is the full circuit racing set up. I changed nothing on the car so it still had the 205 tyres all round, 4deg neg camber front 2.5 rear, sway bars, standard pully etc. I know this is dumb but I still had 30psi in the rear tyres. I could rock up at Eastern Creek tomorrow and do 20 laps without an issue.
GT's car ran:
60': 1.9
1/8: 8.9
1/4: 13.8 @ 93mph.
GT's gear ratio is stock 1st & 2nd, lower 3rd (1.5) and stock 4th on a 3.8 cw&p.
His car and mine are vertically identical. Very similar chassis and roll cage, identical suspension, sway bars, brakes & engines. Main difference being mine has injection, Porsche fan and 4 gear c/r box and GTs 48IDF webbers, VW fan and 3 gear c/r box. The reason for this is GT drives his car to the track some times and the stock 4th allows him to drive on the freeway. He drove it from his shed to his house which is a 20klm trip btwn the suburbs and highway during peak hr b4 loading it up and heading to Sydney. There is only 1 hillclimb where you use 4th so its not that much of a disadvantage. He how ever will be changing to a lowered 4th and I'm sure we will see him gain a few mph.
Now! What changes can I make to get 100mph and lower the time a few more tenths???? I wonder!
