Once again the weather threatened to disrupt yesterdays test and tune session at Heathcote but thankfully thats all it did. There was quite a large contingency of JDM/import vehicles on hand for an attack on the quarter mile blacktop.
Quickest of the day was Johnnys
CREATD Motorsports powered 2.4L EVO III. A real animal of a car, John went 11.27/137.9 on his first pass before unfortunately stripping 4th gear. The white EVO VI STIKLR wasnt too far behind with an 11.6/134 before also suffering from a driveline failure in a broken transfer case. The yellow AWD 4G63 powered PROEVO Proton Satria also had a clutch problem and ran an early 11.5/126. Perhaps the most impressive EVO of the day may have been Matts blue EVO IX. Still utilising a stock engine and clutch, the car puts out 307kW to all 4-wheels thanks to an
ATP Gold spec turbo on E85 pump fuel. Matts best time for the day was an 11.81/125.
Quickest Subaru on the day was the neat blue STi with an 11.9/119 pass. The Skyline GT-Rs were all lapping in the low 12-second zone with a few dipping into the 11s late in the day. Micks turbocharged Suzuki GSXR is really running well of late. The bike went as quick as 8.94 and as fast as 156mph. The blue BA XR6 ran close to a ten with an 11.06/123. Quickest VL turbo of the day was Pauls GAS747 street driven Calais with a 10.83/130 pass. You dont see many BMWs at the drags. The current spec 135i clocked a fast 13.02/108.
As usual there were also a bunch of quick V8s on hand. Nathans clean looking blue 355 Holden powered VH went as quick as 10.05/134 while Darrens candy red MEANHT Holden went 10.88/128 before late in the day improving to a 9.69/139.9 on the bottle. Jasons LS1PWR turbo VN dipped into the 9s early in the day for a 9.96/137.9. Michael's big yellow SBC powered Malibu went 10.1 aspirated.
