was pretty pleased and beat a s4 i was up against that run by 1sec, best previous time in Feb was 14.1

got to go more often awesome fun and some impressive cars best run I saw was a white mk1 golf cage, drags and god know what under the engine went up against a mk5 r32 in that blue colour, the mk1 engine or somehtin blew up near the end of the strip and still did a 11.01 the r32 did a 15.4

chungster:
the white mk1 is probably andy waite's

Hope its engine didn't blow up...as its a wicked bit of engineering that car!

1.8T with 8 injectors and GT30 turbo. and its 4WD.

Hi James,

Not a bad starter time that one. :happy2:

How were you launching?

Burnout?

I found that launching around 2.5 to 2.7k rpm was best and used manual mode + short shifted into 2nd once rolling.

Also what were your Revo settings?

Mine are B9 T6 F9

Your car specs are roughly the same as mine for power mods and so should get roughly the same kind of times.

My current best is ...


Reaction +.8327
60 ft - 2.3818
330 ft - 6.0559
1/8 et - 8.9228
1/m mph - 86.37
1000' et - 11.3097
1/4 et - 13.4556
1/4 mph - 107.03

So 0.3487 quicker to 60' is basically the launch technique and this equated to the 0.3955 difference at the end.

You need to work on your launch technique :happy2:

Any car under 14 seconds with FWD is a swift car and not many of those antique manuals have made it under 14seconds yet :innocent: :evilgrin:

Phil Mcavity:
when My bluefin is on, i am going back to crack 14 seconds.... oh yes i will!!

Any scooby highlights james???

GTIjames:
yeah i was pleased to get in the 13s, was with over 1/2 tank fuel, and no weight saving - seats and spare wheel in tact.

revo settings are B8 T7F7, slightly less aggresive but will turn the boost up as we get in to cooler weather

the start was my weak point, did a burnout before in 1st with esp off to warm tyres, then set off without using launch control in manual mode short shifting to 2nd. can't really get the hang of l/c don't use it enough but if it will get me a extra few hundreds then will practice  :happy2:

subaru sprint challenge was good, only saw a few rounds as got there late and the rest of the time was spent queing for the strip, but their handling abilityand the way they drift looks amazing and really makes you want to get a rwd or 4wd next..
