here's me going down the 1/4 for the 1st time.
16.21 sec @ 78 mph.
better to come next time when I get the clutch sorted.
Well done Dan-looks like your getting a bit of lift out of the old girl.Whats wrong with your clutch?
Thats not a bad time for the bus
yeah, nearly got them off the ground. 
clutch was out of adjust, and grabbing.
So it was creeping forwards.
On my 2nd run, I rolled off the stage.
cos it was creeping, I had to hold my foot on the brake instead if the gas.
so I was launching at about 1000rpm instead of about 3500rpm.
makes for a slow exit out of the gates, and a slow 60 foot time.
hopefully get that sorted this week.
there's another meet on the 5th feb, and the 4's and 6's shootout soon.
Well done Dan,
As you are going out again, I gather it you had a good time.
It's nice being able to go for it, without having to lift the right foot at the 100kph mark.
That is a great time for what is basically a brick with wheels. Well done again.
Good work vwtyp2. Great time for a bus. What's your details, you'll be the first bus in the drag run post. Got an image of the slip? If you have
pass it on or post it. I hear a bus shot out coming on.......:thumb
cheers
Go the brick !!!!
Thats NA too from memory isnt it ?
Fast time. My beetle would have trouble meeting it.
definately going out again. I want to run a 15. even a 15.99 would be good.
yes, it's NA, but now thinking about forced induction.
I don't have a scanner, maybe I can take a photo of the slip and post that?.
thanks to http://www.fullboost.com.au for the pic.
Makes a nice avatar too !
what specs are the motor in it?
hopefully this will work.
I don't have a scanner, si I've taken a photo of the time slip.
can't get the other one to come out clear.
but it reads:
R/T ... 1.192
60' ... 2.138
330' ... 6.423
660' ... 10.068
mph ... 80.01
1000' ... 13.350
ET ... 16.219
mph ... 77.81
What happened to make the car slow down in the second 1/2 track? You crossed the line 3mph slower than you were going 1/2 track. Was it the clutch you mentioned or something else?
not sure.
maybe the 4th is too tall.
I can't hold it in 3rd, cos it just bounces off the limiter.
when I shift to 4th, it drops back to about 2500 rpm.
great highway cruising gear, maybe too bigger gap between ratios for racing?
can anyone post video, I got video of this car but cant host it, if anyone can please let me know so I can email to you. it is a 7meg file.
Thanks

Here is the link. Hope it works.
Mark.
cool
just the slashes.
try this:www.pa.com.au/tmp/forum/drag.mov
the second link works.
thanks for hosting that.
now I just gotta control that wheelspin, and maybe launch with more revs, I should be able to pull a 15.
Nice Dan.
It launches very well looking at that.
Fax your slip through and get on the list.
A set of sticky tires will help you get quite quick.
hey James, it isn't aircooled though, so it doesn't qualify.
Hey Dan, hope you like it, I like how the front lifts.
T54
love it, hopefully launching a bit harder will get the front wheels up more.
yeah, gets a bit of wheelspin. street tyres though.
Yes , excellent time, and next time better.
Well done.
Just downloaded the movie! very impressed! looks alot faster on the vid. Soo what motor is in it?
