Posted 20/08/12 03:06 AM Author Share Posted 20/08/12 03:06 AM Went out to Heathcote again on Sunday.PB'd again 11.48 @ 123.5MPH with a crap 60ft again of 1.95!Very happy with the PB and if I can drop the 60ft to around 1.70 or lower a 10 sec time slip is there for the taking!Sadly we had to pull the pin early as I thought I'd hurt the car. Specifically the diff. It oringinally felt like a CV but didn't lose any drive. It then hopped around corners on the way back to the pits... like an old school locker was fitted. In the end we were able to drive the car home (140kms) and the issue only showed it's head when turning sharp corners slowly... the car was going perfect in a straight line Ended up parking the car at a mates place and then this big metallic clunk is heard. Thought WTF and got back in and drove it around the block... problem gone lol no grinding, no jumping, nothing. Back to normal. Go figure!Took the car in to BPR this morning and Monday week we'll drop the diff oil out and take a sample and send it off to see what is happening.Either way I am absolutely stoked with the ET and MPH but my 60ft's are terrible.There is a 10 in the car... whether there is 1 in me is debatable lolJack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 20/08/12 05:49 AM Author Share Posted 20/08/12 05:49 AM Absolute and utter complete lack of any kind of practice what so ever I think. Perhaps the tune plays some part in that too, as I specified that I wanted the car to come up nice and easy on boost, rather than be a wheelspinning, transmission destroying tyre fryer.That kind of stuff can be left until the spare new ZF I have gets a billet input shaft and a built engine ends up between the strut towers Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a soft spool up tune and couldn't get a 60ft below 2.1 on slicks when I used to be <1.8's. Saves tyres though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 20/08/12 07:02 AM Author Share Posted 20/08/12 07:02 AM I figure as much. Something I don't do on the street is use any level of 1st gear on boost, there is no point. 2nd gear full noise power skates are awesome until the tyres heat up and then it's grip everywhere. Full grip it's like sitting on the very pointiest end of a missle... so much so it's actually scary how quickly it builds speed in such a short space of time!I love it!Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_mate Member 767 Member For: 18y 10m 23d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 20/08/12 10:38 AM Share Posted 20/08/12 10:38 AM Jack, Have read the best way to launch is hold it on the brake in 2nd with as many rpm as possible. Once it creeps, back off the revs a touch, select first get off the anchors and hold the fark on.That should get your 60ft down :-) Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 17/09/12 06:41 AM Author Share Posted 17/09/12 06:41 AM Thanks for that old mate Trying things at the drags is the next thing I'll try and do... I will be honest and say I get a bit overwhelmed when sitting on the line at the drags, I just need to take a deep breath and gather my thoughts. Something I have yet to do so far...Just a small update too, the diff problem I encountered at Heathcote last time out seems to have gone away all by itself. Crazy but true. The boys at Blue Power dropped the oil out and it was as good as gold. Plenty of tiny, tiny metal flakes in there but to be expected on the very first oil change in a mechanical LSD. It's slightly more noisier than before so who knows what went wrong and then righted itself. Might be a binding issue but I've been advised it is something that only really happens in race cars... not daily driven street cars.I've also purchased a new tailshaft for the car that will cop a few upgrades in the next week or two. New stronger rear section, centre bearing etc and just uprated stuff. It will allow for a more aggressive tune down low at the drags to assist with the car 60ft'ing much better.Next on the to do list after that is a billet input shaft for the my brand new ZF and then get that fitted. In the mean time I'll keep racing the car when I get the chance and see if I can be a bit more organised on the line but also go for 125mph+ and a very low 11 sec pass full weight Jack 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
