Night Drags @ Ruapuna. Jan 20th

[diss7]

Yea'p night drags are on again. It was awesome last time, I was doing runs untill almost 11pm!

I'll be in the rex again, and Amy will be in her Glanza to see what it can do.

Night drags = cool

[Al]

I'll come out for a look

[[A NINJA]]

I might even race! if I get a helmet and my new super light wieght mags from the USA!

[matt dunn]

Did not make it to the one's today.

What time do the nite drags usually kick off?

[Al]

Gates open at 5. Have to be scrutineered by 6:30 or so. Racing starts around 7:30 and goes past 11 if theres enough cars

[TygerTung]

I won't be racing this time, the open diff will be back in, I'll see what I can do next time with the turbo engine!

Heres a couple of pictures of the beast





Will probably head along though I'd say

[Virtual Genocide]

Good to see you took the lancer out!!!

16.5 isn't to bad. I should give you a race in my starlet, it would be pretty close.

[JT]

Have you got the starlet going again Phil?

If not racing I'll be watching

[Virtual Genocide]

Nah i havn't had time. Leaving for China in a couple of days. I've been a bit to busy, running arround getting myself sorted.

I'll sort it out when i get back (early Feb)

[Ako]

Some of you monkeys better come out to this!


For all the cash some people put into trying to make their cars go faster, they sure don't do much with them... Come out there and show what those 20V's are really made of

[Andy7447]

im going to have a go at this

[IH8TEC]

well after runnign a 14.0 in motueka, i'm gona try get off work (blenheim, RNZAF) and try get down there for them, and crash at al's place. will let you guys know i want my 13

[RegReagan]

thinking of bringing the Wrx out to play and see what she does
obviously the launches will be nana-like but i reckon a 14 isnt outta the question on my first bash
<shrug>
we will see. i think she has 13.5 in her atm possibly

[Andy7447]

sweet someone to race, its goin to be my first time down the strip aswell, did a 13.2 on the g-tech pro so going to see how accurate it is

[diss7]

I've always wondered how accurate those things are...

[[A NINJA]]

I cant race but I'll be there!! Ive got to wait until my mags arrive!

[Al]

I've always wondered how accurate those things are...

They arent too bad provided they are set up correctly

We did the rwhp and the 0-60mph runs after the drags one day.

Two people in the car, boot full of tools and trolley jack. Did two runs for the 0-60 on the same stretch of road in opposing directions. First run was 4.59 seconds. Turned around and got 4.8 with a bogged launch.

Got 274rwhp as well running 18psi

[Graphite]

So i'm not expecting too much, i did 13.57@100mph on my G-Timer, mates 97 Twin turbo 2.5 tiptronic VR4 only got 15.03 on it

[RegReagan]

no engine mods graphite?
be interesting to cpmpare times
i have a modded intake and the obligatory 3" exhaust

[Graphite]

No engine mods, but the cusco front lsd helps it launch better it would seem.. although launch aint everything I guess.
It has a few STi bits, ie steering rod/arms etc. but yeah nothing that helps straight line speed
