Felix Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 went out and had a run tonight. best was a 17.209 @ 75.74 MPH. guess it's not to bad for a 3 year old $350 4k, that's had a lot of hard work. also that was full street trim, ie tools, spare etc. probably could have stripped 30 odd kg out of it. was the first time i have ever had a go at the drags. on my first run i was beside this spastic big block cheved monaro. i couldn't even hear my car with this thing idling beside me. was a pretty wild first up intro to drag racing. needless to say he disappeared off into the distance. i need way more power. the only thing i beat all night was a suzuki swift which i wasted by 2 secs. it is fun doing burnouts in front of a crowd. the funniest run was the last i did. was beside this charger, and we both got pretty even reaction times, him a little quicker. i beat him through first and part way through second. he obviously pushed his car a little hard to soon, trying to get back in front, as he started blowing masses of smoke. he pulled away in the topend to beat me by nearly 2 secs, but geez, i've never seen so much smoke in my life. on the return road his car just stopped, he blew it up. it was a mega oil down, so racing had to stop. haha, he may have won the race, but i drive home. i got like 10 runs in from 4.30 - 8.00 when the charger did the oil down. thought i'd just call it quits as i couldn't be bothered waiting at least 1/2 hour for them to clean the track. was a pretty fun night. have a baseline now.

Felix Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 yea, i think with the carb a bit better setup there is more to be had. i just recently increased the secondary venturi from a 25 to a 27, and i think it was a step backwards. the car doesn't pull as hard in the upper rev region like it did, which really hurt it in the second half of the track. i was pulling 10.8 sec for the 1/8 mile, which should equate to around a mid 16 for the full 1/4. best 60 ft was 2.38 sec, which is quicker than 2 mid 16s cars i ran. need to get my O2 sensor setup so i can monitor mixtures and see where i'm going wrong. didn't get my first timeslip it got blown away. was mega windy, having a headwind probably didn't help anyones times. times went, from 2nd run: 17.63 17.52 17.60 18.23 17.35 17.38 17.26 17.21 17.28 fairly consistant. found reducing timing to 8 degs, made it a little quicker, which is what the last 5 runs were set at. i'll have a bit of a play around with things and try to get back out there again soon.

Medicine_Man Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Nice figures there, good to hear its running good :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tricksta Posted August 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Good to see you there felix. My best was a 16.3 again but consistently ran 16.8. The pics are funnmy cause there is more smoke coming from the exhaust than the wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
