just wondering 1) who's stupid enough to buy a 8 over a 6T 2) and what have they run down the 1/4? last night I got 13.711 @ 104.52 mph 60ft - 2.241 tyres - 235/40/R18 nexen n6000s (control tyre for No Limits competion im in) - cheap china compliance tyres - $140 fitted and balanced spec hahaha the vehicle is STOCK - factory exhaust, factory air filter. suspension - coilovers transmission - 6spd manual car had full tank of fuel and the spare wheel (19" rim) in the boot still, a long with all the loose sh*t that's in the car still can get better out of the car too. still had bad axle tramp off the line and into 2nd.
it will never be as quick as deans, honestly only will get 12s out of it... not going for times like dean in it anyways, little sequence from April 1st
ET - 13.711 MPH - 104.52 60ft - 2.241 Name - Matt Car - FG XR8 Engine - 5.4L Tyres - 235/40/R18 Nexen N6000 mods: Malwood 'option 3' clutch & coilovers. engine STOCK Date of run - 15/04/09 Finally got it to launch. still had a bit of axle tramp, but not so bad once we fiddled a bit with the EDFC. very happy. car is stock, not even an air filter or exhaust
yeh the car is mostly fibreglass. haha running powerglide due to the fact it already has a Final Drive made tailshaft to suit. and ive found for the money it costs for a 1150hp rated Powerglide, that money can only buy a C4 with half that and a T400 with about 800hp so powerglide is best bang for my bucks. no I havent talked to him about it, my current tuner for my XR6T loves motecs and cant wait to do it. so im quite happy about that
still getting a price from Ovaboost for a full loom for the Motec to SDL/SLM & engine... otherwise ive got the opportunity to purchase a loom suited to Motec M800 to SDL/SLM to Barra i6. plug n play FTW!!! btw, I found out that the car ran 8s with 650hp at the FLYWHEEL
oh f*ck. actually counted it then... its more that I thought :( could of bought 3x Nizpro stage 4 kits plus more :( *cut wrists* not including tyres in the price either :S :S :S :S
they do not make FR20s... trust me, they dont make them.. ive offered dubious amounts of cash for them. and they dont make them hahaha if you have brembos you cant have dish. unless its 4-1 combo (single pot PBR caliper out back painted red). 19x8.5 front with 225 tyre 19x9.5 rear with 245 tyre (soon to be 235 )
im running 8.5", 9.5" rear on my FR19s. offset of +36 front - like 1mm between brembo caliper and spokes rear - almost a centimetre between brembo caliper and spokes, so I could of gone for a +40 offset
"omg that car is so slow... its almost like as if, he stuffed the launch, then stopped, then relaunched... yet still ran a 14,.... wow... I bet he's good in bed. ..... EF takes years to spool :(" ok imbedded vids fail.. Click HERE Tocchi.
hmmm people USED to say titan... but they have had ford look upon them.. very strict now. wouldnt give me a new clutch :( but saying that, they were gonna fit the aftermarket one and say it was a ford one, for warranty macinenery ford is good. they look after me *edit* in saying that, its due to parents buying 2 cars from them and me buying the FG from there... so its cos we are regular customers.. .unsure how you would go with a car you havent bought from there
