I was down there with a mate's GT-R, ran 10.60@140mph with a very slow (slight bogging) 1.8 launch - needless to say that was his 1 and only run for the night as he was promptly ordered to go away and not come back until he has a cage, parachute, harness and ANDRA license...There was a good showing of 6T's out there and it was good to see I'm not the only one that struggles to get a manual down the strip! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vevapower Waiting for the 1st N/A 12! Donating Members 2,533 Member For: 16y 10m 18d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 13/05/10 10:53 AM Share Posted 13/05/10 10:53 AM Hey Guys,Took the taxi out last night to test the rebuilt 4sp...The track was very slippery to start off with with most cars struggling to put any power to the ground. I did not think that the old Maxxis were going to produce any decent numbers. The first pass was a waste of time. I wheelspun past 1/2 track, put it in 4th and pushed through for a 14.3 @ 115MPH 2.8s 60' !!The track got better and better throughout the night. I ran ... 12.8@121MPH, 12.2@122, 11.4@122, 11.5@123 all with a 1.9Xs 60' wheel-spinning as it come on boost off the line. Then finally, the last pass of the night I got a clean launch and ran a 11.2@124MPH 1.86s 60'. Close but no 10s pass. Not bad for the two year old 19" Maxxis. I was surprised how good they still are !!The auto feels strong, good firm changes into 2nd & 3rd. I'm looking forward to sorting out the wastegate, getting the extractors back on and put on some fresh rubber. It was good to see about 10 XR6/F6s out there having some fun. A few guys from the forum but I'm not sure how they ran !?! ...We should try organize a few forum drag nights. Who is up for it? You don't need to push to break records or do a pb every time you go out... just get out there, relieve some stress and have some fun.Great effort John I was out there last night in the Mercury xr6 t red plates, I saw a couple of your runs and you can tell she's got some go in her. I set my own PB on run 4 but only after a quick consultation with Big Jon and dropping the rear Tyre pressures. Thanks again Big John not only for the use of your gauge but for the tip to actually drop the pressure. Was out last night to break into the 12's cause last time I went (which was my 1st time) I did a best of 13.2 but after run 4 and half decent launch I managed a 12.6 @ 112mph (2.1 60ft). Man I was stoked cause all I've done to the car is flashed her changed the injectors and had tune and for 270 rwkws and almost a mid 12 well I'm very happy!

I like how he's first 3 runs he had 2 working head lights and then from the 4th run on the right one was completely removed which uncovered a big round snails mouth!
