Guys,
Seeing as the last TNT was rained out I am thinking of heading out this Saturday night.
Usual meet point at Redbank Plains KFC. 3:00pm for a 3:30pm depart.
Any takers??

Well my first run was complete shit! BAd launch and I forgot about the no lift to shift so I was stuck on the 5500rpm limiter through 1st and some of 2nd. I then realized what was happening and lifted my size 11 hoof off of the top of the clutch pedal giving me a normal redline back and some power!
Still managed a 13.01 @ 114.91 though so my mph as gone up even with the problems!

Second run wasn't as nice to the car.....
I inadvertantly activated my antilag setup and lets just say that leaving the line at around 25psi is NOT good for the rear axles :w00t:
So the hunt for a good strong diff and axles begins! No more 3bolts for me!

 

[crossam]

ouch sounds expensive

 

[brisvr4]

Nah, can grab an axle form our shitter which currently resides behinds Robs shed
But that won't fix the axle breaking problem!

3 bolt lsd at my place tim... i knew you would need it

 

[brisvr4]

I'd just break it Craig! 4 Bolt from here on in mate

I took the EVO to willowbank tonight and after doing 2 runs i decided to take it home.

I'll be honest and say that i was a little dissapointed how it went but I beleive its due to a fact of shitty tyres and suspension.

Take a look at the following and you will see I raced a 11 sec VL Turbo first which i fkd up the run completely.

Bulk wheel spin off the line the went through the gears 1st to second then to third then to fourth then i tried for fifth but i found 3rd gear. I released immediately i fkd up so i dropped it straight into neutral and coasted across the line.


Second run was against a TME Evo which I beat but again the time I thought was crap.

I decided to take it home after that

I thought it would be as well but it isn't rough at all.
It makes shifting a lot smoother actually, feels more like an auto shifting rather than a manual and you get to keep your boost levels up too
