  1. What you need is some coin operated amusements...Pool tables, juke box etc.....What club is it?
  2. That was a very straight charger before it hit the wall. I feel sorry for the guy, on his first run for the day hitting the wall but credit to him he was still there at 6pm racing. I have film of most runs including Johns 10.9, a bit of wheel spin off the line and still 1.66 60' great effort. I ran 4 11.4's in a row all at 124mph so the car was a little off its normal pace but still very consistent. I wanted to finish the day off on a good note so I went for a big burn out and harder launch only to get a heap of slip from the ZF and run a 11.5, so after approval from the missus I stayed for 1 more run only to get more slip, a cabin full of smoke at the end of the track and a 11.6. I gave the car a bit of a thrashing last night and the box seems ok but it might just need a freshen up sooner rather than later....
  3. Very nice 60', top effort. Nothing beats a lazy 10.5 on you first pass
  4. Street meet rules They have always checked the sticker on my helmet.
  5. I will be heading out with the aim of improving my PB or breaking something either way it should be fun.
  6. Don't get to excited its just talk and promises so far. Let us know what the end result is.
  7. Have you double check to make sure you have a missus and not a mister?
  8. I improved my PB from 11.351 to 11.307 its not much but its something. I was happy with my consistency last night with, 11.373, 11.331 and 11.307. I still have room to move on my 60' with a best of 1.769.
  9. Rhys86, I think anywhere in the 11's will be a good first outing. I will be heading out tonight hopefully I will improve on my 1.85 60'.
  10. Noisy lifters in a ford 6 who would have thought....
  11. Try 1/2 tank and removing your spare, its not a lot a weight but ever bit helps. I can't remember exactly but I think I ran 23/24 psi in my 19's. Then just give it a good solid burn out. Some people say it does not make to much difference on the street tyres but my best 60's came with my biggest burn outs. As for the launch just try to get the car just on boost.say 0 to 1psi, the boost is such a fine line a little to much and you smoke em not quite enough and you get lag. After a couple of outings you will start to feel that balancing point between lag and wheel spin, from there the times will come.
  12. Is the car auto or manual? Work on you 60', if you can get it down to 2.0 you should sneak an 11.9999999. Still a good effort for you first outing. It took me several runs before I could get my 60' below 2.2 and several more before I managed a 1.9 on my 19's. In the words of JP300 'do a bigger burn out'.
  13. Ohh that the good missus vs the car. I have been planning a wedding with ever increasing costs (much like my car), every time I say no to something I get the standard response 'oh its ok for your car but not your wedding'. I have tried many excuses, most recently those m/t's. I borrowed the rims from JP300 and bought the tyres, so I missled a little by saying that the wheels were borrowed and failed to mention the tyres or their costs.
  14. Its $50 to race...try to get there close to 5pm...that way you can get the maximum runs for the night....

    Coffee

    For me its Nespresso every morning. Nespresso
  16. It's one thing to sneak a 11 sec pass but running consistent 11's is some good driving well done!
  17. that's an awesome result for such minimal mods, 1.6 6o' is impressive. There must be some thing special in the 'Elite enhanced' injectors. Was that full wait and pump fuel? Can you post up a dyno sheet ... Do you care to share some of your launch technique for the ZF......
  18. I don't know about over cooking but I try to have fun.
  19. Go for something like the Tein's, If you really want some thing Rspec, buy the floor mats.....
  20. Building a motor and trying to save money at the same time never really works. Do you need the .70 compressor housing right now? If not concentrate on getting the motor as good as your finances allow, then look at turbo mods down the track.
  21. If you want looks it Process West all day every day.
  22. A 9 second pass is unbelivable. Well done mate....
  23. I thought I might let people know that due to the recent rain and Wednesday night was outs WSID is holding a race for real day this Sat... I can't go but I thought I would post up as some people have said they do not get the sms's from WSID. It's 10am til 6pm
  24. Yeah that's me walking away with the car left open...keys were probably in it. I'm glad you saw my 11.4 and not my 12.3 and 12.1 that I started the nigh with.
  25. I ran the factory dunlops with a best of 11.5
