Gee mate I really feel sorry for you with the minimum power you can get away with .. Seriously though that is an awsum result and the writeup/pictures are very informative
-
Just wondering if any guys have noticed the difference in price from v power to v power racing.The servo I go to has v power racing 22c/ltr more then v power and a mate reckons he saw v power racing only 10c/ltr more at a servo in a different area..

Exactly,youll find that the lower the average speed the lower the km's youll get out of a tank..I average around 35kmh and around 380-400kms..

Im looking at getting some new tyres and have been told these are a pretty good tyre.The only thing that im not sure about is what size to get..I have got quotes on the 235/40/18 and the 245/40/18 and the diff is around $50-60 per tyre..Is it worth paying that much extra for so little extra tyre??

Centre muffler removal only helps car sound better,even with those mods you can still have a 12sec car :banghead:
-
Yeah mines around -20 vacumm at idle

Congrats on the time mate,its good to see that even with all the bad luck youve had lately you still went out and raced it..Put a set of sticky tyres on there and you should get close to a 11sec time with the speed you got..I cant believe you got 11runs..How many hours does the drags go for at Calder? :banghead:

By reading the statement on 888 website it just looks like a stupid mistake and im sure someone will be getting their butts kicked..
-
Can I ask how putting it into a section in the DM is gunna make any difference..As you said everyone has participated in this in atleast some way and if it disappoints you so much to read it then that's easy fixed..DONT READ THEM

I had 2 rolling runs with a young guy in a Walkingshaw a couple of weeks ago..He didnt seem to happy with how much I beat him by
-
Yeah I noticed the parts that have been put in your car and they are definately great quality parts,I hope it doesnt end up costing a s**tload and you are able to find out what caused it to go KABOOM..
-
That definately isnt a good sight looking at those pictures..Could something like this happen from a bad batch of fuel if the tune is on the edge??
-
Noise is all fixed,turned out to be the sway bar linkages were rooted..
-
Its gotta be over the top for sure..The question should also be asked if you fold or scrunch ..Im a folder
-
Congrats mate,when r u gunna race so you can change your signature
-
I did the 12.6 with tune,valve springs and MT's..The 11.8 was with other mods in signature
-
I agree, I got a 1.72 60 foot with a standard converter..
-
Good time mate,that's almost identical to what I did with the same power,I managed to drop down to a 12.6 with some MT's
-
I hate to say it but you should have done more research before you bought the car..When you say its not padded,if you were to get it padded would that bring down the insurance cost??Most guys with quick cars on here would love to have a cage in their car
-
I dont know why you didnt get the car dyno'd to see what the issues were and also why you didnt speak to C&V or atleast send a pm to ask some questions.. Even now that your happy id still be getting the car checked on the dyno for boost and AFR's
-
Dont just look at what kms you get,have a look at what your average speed is..I went on a cruze last friday and had a fair few runs but still averaged 11.4ls/100kms..but my average speed was around 65kms..during week I average around 15lt/100kms but speed is around 35-40kmh

that's awsum Muzza..Another good result from Blacktrack

To be honest I was mainly watching boost more then rpm.I think it was around 2400-2500rpm.I know on the last pass that boost got up to around 7psi b4 I launched and the tyres spun too much -

I got the wog cooler as I was on a budget and it is the best value cooler on the market.C&V werent bagging the wog cooler in my opinion but there are better coolers that flow better etc out there if you want to pay for them..I know that the car can go quicker than that as the last run it spun.Ill go bak out again and try a bigger burnout.Im not really interested in changing anything on it as im happy at the moment with the setup I have
