Doogstar Member 276 Member For: 18y 4m 12d Posted 24/08/08 10:10 PM Share Posted 24/08/08 10:10 PM (edited) Finally had a Sunday where it wasn't raining so I went up to Heathcote. Seems everyone had the same idea, the place was packed. There were HEAPS of XR6T's and Typhoons there, it looked like a club meet.lolAnyway, I finally had a chance to check out what the new exhaust and the slightly upgraded injectors have done for the car. I have 301rwkw. I had 3/4 of a tank of fuel (as I haven't got a surge tank yet), full weight running on MT's. Best of the day and my new PB was...60ft: 1.86841/8 time : 7.8891/8 mph : 90.02 1/4 ET: 12.22161/4 MPH@113.87Previous PB was 12.702 @ 108.24MPH, so I managed to knock nearly half a second off, pretty wrapped about that. So need a proper intercooler now to keep it consistent.I have some photos that I will post later Edited 24/08/08 10:11 PM by Doogstar Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/49016-had-some-runs-at-heathcote-yesterday/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that power level maybe an 11.99 with some practice.Cheers XCLR8 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/49016-had-some-runs-at-heathcote-yesterday/#findComment-722936 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doogstar Member 276 Member For: 18y 4m 12d Posted 25/08/08 07:16 AM Author Share Posted 25/08/08 07:16 AM Hey ETM,Did I use the handbrake? I didn't on the run I red lighted.lol The bembos held it on the line on all the other runs, but on that run the lights took forever to count down and I was going for a big launch.Hey XCLR8,Yeah, I need some practice with the ZF , but I am getting used it it, I think I can launch it harder next time.Hey bloosted,It was great to meet you and your mates, I hope you had a good time. That Phoon of yours is great, it can sure move along, what was your best time, when I spoke it you last it was 11.3 I think??

That was a great time anyway. Hey INFLYT, I saw that turbo there but didn't get a chance to talk to him, he had slicks and front runners so I knew he was serious.
