I met you out there one not long ago Jimmy. I commented how good your car looked. So clean. Then I sold my MPS and bought one.

Id be lying if I said I remembered you.Wasnt the night I smashed my shaft was it ? :( Welcome to the clan!! Sounds like your enjoy your T. Theyre an amazing motor vehicle. And the more time you spend with it, it opens up its true capability and personality. You still have to learn how to drive to get the most out of them. Its not as simply as burying your size 9.12.8 is a good time for a stocker.. I believe there all capable of a 12.. its all in the 60ft'er... master that and youll be in the 12's no prob.Let me know when your heading to the creek. Just put my strengthed shaft in this week...Oh and a small burn out is a good thing. Anlittle bit of heat and cleaning of the tyre does wonders. I aslo ran around 25psi in the tyres. Any lower and you start losing the suface contact patch in the middle of the tyre,Oh..also.. till you get used to it, just leave it in drive or performance.. that way you can just concentrate on your 60.. then progress to manual. I have yet to master that. It all happens so fast lol Edited 28/10/12 02:11 AM by jimmixr 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82543-down-the-quarter-tips/page/2/#findComment-1316017 Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you said you broke it last time out. We didn't talk for long.I'll be heading out in a few weeks as my mate has a bike he wants to run so I said I'll go too. If I run a low 13 ill be happy. Thanks for all the tips mate. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82543-down-the-quarter-tips/page/2/#findComment-1316052 Share on other sites More sharing options...
