ford number 1

There are a couple of tuners in sydney now who are getting decent results..

no luck with both Sam.ill call them first thing monday mornin..

Thx Jack.They might be having a day off. Im hoping that either Prestons or Kewish do exchange as with my wife being so close to popping out a little one I cant afford to have my car off road for too long

Does anyone know if Prestons or kewish are open today.ive rung both but no answer

I was driving home last night and I gave a bootfull in second,when I shifted into 3rd it seemed to slip and wasnt as firm.I flashed car back to standard and it seemed ok for a while but now seems to be slipping when I shift from 3rd to 4th.It only does at WOT.I dont need this when my wife is 5 weeks away from having our first child..I was thinking of ringing prestons to see if they still do exchange boxes but the prob is im up in Sydney

I cant see how a guy driving an Automatic can seriously say that their bad driving can affect the time too much..I have only raced my car twice at WSID with different tunes and dont class myself as a great driver,its not hard to drive an Auto..I tried diff launches with rpm etc and the variation was only 3tenths of a second..If your driving a manual then its a different story..

Sam I was meant to get the nizpro springs but they didnt turn up in time.I ended up getting the Atomic springs instead.They were a little more expensive($335) but not too much.All up supplied and fitted by MRC in Castle Hill was $795..

The canetoads played dirty in the last 10min and suck it didnt pay off..the 2 incidents with Buderus were a joke..Bring on game 2 and we'll smash you

While the car is thr Sam why dont you get them to fit valve springs,you know you want to

Geeseman what was your 60foot with the 12.5??

I'm pretty sure my old car was running similar numbers with similar power. It seems that 250rwkw's in an auto is good for around the 12.7 area. How did you find the tyres, the 2.05 60' is a prety good effort with that power. I'm assuming you have a standard stall? Geea. ← Yep Geea car has standard stall.The tyres were a little slippery when it got on boost in 1st and then a tiny bit into second..Noit enough to affect time I dont think although id like to try with a set of decent tyres.left line at around 2100rpm

I dont have dyno sheet at the moment but have 250rwkw on Croydon's Dyno Dynamic..Time sheet has temp,humidity etc.Tyres were 235x18 silverstones@28psi

congrats on the time.for just custom tune that is impressive.It looks like the dyno may be a low reader cauz both the b4 and after edit look low and to get a 12.9 with only 223rwkw is extremely good.Do you know how much boost your running now?

Here is timeshhet from Wednesday night

Well done on getting into the 12's So I take it your faith in your Tuner is restored? Other than valve springs, what did they do to the tune, add boost, is it still running 250rwkw? ← I got the valve springs done two weeks ago and called Jim at Croydon to see if they could check it over.I had a couple of issues,idle,auto firmness etc etc.They had the car last thursday and changed a few things but because they were getting some cars ready for Drag Combat including the 200sx which they want to break their own world record Jim cldnt spend alot of time with the car.I picked the car up Saturday lunch after they checked on dyno.The tune has alot more torque and boost comes on harder and earlier.It only makes 5rwkw more but holds 250rwkw from 150kmh to around 180kmh whr the old tune made 245 at 150and dropped down to 230 by 165kmh.

12.84@108.5..60 foot was 2.051 Mods are valve springs and custom edit tune.. I'll upload timesheet tomorrow..

Did you mean the private road behind the m5

I would get a cooler put on while they r doing edit.For the price you can get one for these days its a good investment for the warmer months.

A couple of my mates are heading out on the 31st if any1 is keen to go out.ill be taking photos and videos

Thx mate.After I did my two 13.1 I said to a mate I want a 12.I went there today hoping for a mid 13 after last time

Myself and a few of the boys headed out to the WSID tonight.Last time I ran the best I cld do was a 14.0@101 Since then ive had valve springs and CRD played with the tune last week.My first 2 runs were 13.15@106 & 107mph.I then had a 1hr 40min gap between runs and did a 12.84@108.5mph.Then had another run 20min later and did a 12.96@108mph..Im stoked at the times and will be calling Jim at Croydon in the morning to let him know.Ill let the other guys post there times but the BFF6's were going very well.

Are we still going to have our own lane or have too many softies pulled out .ill b thr at around 1700.im in a phantom sedan FRD-06T. .zap, one of my mates might b able to take photos for you

The only thing stopping me from going will be the rain.

How many people are still racing.Ive noticed a few guys have had to pull out and was wondering if we will still get our own lane if there is only a handful of us going.
