I need power fast!

o ok cheers crampy and how do i tell if the helmet is up 2 requirements

[Crampy]

The helmet should have a sticker on it or inside it. I can't remember the standard it has to meet, but will ask my mate who does a lot of drag racing.

Sometimes they don't even check anything on your car or the helmet, but if you really want to race it's not worth the risk.

imo stripping out an ae101 is not worth the effort for the SLIGHT gains to be had, interior doesnt weight THAT much

Would you believe around 90kg's Thats wha it added up to in my old 101 trueno when i took all the stuff out - and no i didn't have sounds or anything like that in it and yes that was weighed before and after on the same day with the same amount of gas in it and no it wasn't with me in and then out of the car, both times i was up looking at the scales

I haven't seen too many mildly worked 20Vs get into the 14s. I had an EE80 Sedan with a silvertop conversion, that was quite quick, but nothing to write home to Mum about.

I did a 14.7 with mine, intake exhaust some different springs and a launch controller was all it took - open diff too but some reasonably sticky tires, michellin something or the other

Imho if you want to take all the stuff out there's nothing stopping you, it can take a while but it is the easiest way to up your power to weight in the time you have left. An upside to it is if you clean everything as your putting it back in you will have one really clean interior for a while. Maybe extend your intake to right behind the headlight if you can, may require moving your battery around tho, and pull your head light out at the drags for a fresh semi forced dose of air and other than that run about 20 psi in the fronts, maybe a little less if your feeling keen and just go out there and have fun

quicklvn,

Did i sell this car to you? (you drove up from down the line?)

If it is my old one, plugs and leads are less than 5000 kms old, used titanium plugs too, made a bit of a difference doing both

The black and silver top have really crappy torque, I would expect you will get a mid 16 maybe even a 17. Pretty slow cars.

You talk utter shite man, driven well blacktops are more than a match for most NA cars on the road(and some FI as well...). 15's at the most as long as you got good tyres. With less weight I'm sure you could expect a very low 15 high 14. That said, I would prefer a 5 speed over the 6 speed in the BZR (and some BZG's).

as for the silvertop... mmm .. mostly thrashed so they don't seem to perform as well, not lacking potential though.
