Help Support 4GTuner:

Went Calder yesterday, waited an hour and a half for my first run because some drag car spilt oil all over the track and they had to clean it all up! Launched at 5.5k using the handbrake, didn't get the best launch it sort of just moved forward and then launched. Managed an 11.8 @ 119mph with a 1.8 60ft in full street trim. For my first time driving a manual car at the drags I was pretty happy with that! Only managed the one run because the line was even bigger the 2nd time around and it started spitting so I bailed haha. So next I plan to drop in a walbro 400 and tune on E-flex, then launch without handbrake @ 6.5k should bring my time down :)
 
Yeh I've been there in my XR got heaps of runs but it's just too far to go (especially if something breaks), You should come Calder next time man.
 
I was going to go, that's why I got the tune done but I didn't realize it was at night. I'm only 30min from Heathcot

Ah so you're Mike with another burnzy tuned car... That's great time for your first time out...
Saw your car at the car park area, I was standing near the red TME. I left during that oil spill cleanup.
The red TME ran an 11.46 @ 120.95mph with 1.6 60'.

Yep that was me! I saw the red tommy mak nice looking car and that's a great time for it too! What turbo is he running? Is it still 2.0litre or stroked?
 
The red TME is running my old turbo (HKS 7460R). He has a very basic setup with a stock block, stock dump pipe, 255 walbro, 750cc (100ulp), 264 cams, decat.
Burnzy tuned aswell with ~ 260kws on vdr. - Unorthodox tunining though with very aggressive timing. + Anitilag. 1.8bar.
 
Few cars out on Saturday, weather was mint!

This EVO had a tonne of AMS gear, big power, but he had issues shifting gears, ran a few mid 11s

Great vid!! I have to admit, rexies sounds quite good! The only nice sound mistsus were the ams and red gsr....
 
There's ANDRA rules which mean that anything running quicker than a 11.99 means you have to comply with all sorts of bullshit rules and regulations which at the end of the day costs $$$$. All for 3 runs over 5-6 hours. I know for a fact that myself and an a few other guys don't intend on racing at Calder... Heathcote is still the best spot and the 'Test n Tune' Sundays aren't ANDRA sanctioned so worries about having to comply for Bob Jane
