Sorry guys, can't use Intercooler Spray, they tend to get upset about water on the track. :twisted:

Maybe if you just give it a quick spray when your into the top-end of the track, could be a better option.
I'm going to mix 50/50% metho in my bottle, I have done a few tests at work and with 100% mix it get the intercooler for 4-6 deg with the amount of wind on the surface, with a 50/50% mix it gets to 10-14 deg, BUT it last's for longer to evaporate, makes it VERY cold & evaporate VERY fast, hence the cold ness of it.

Hey Graeme, wont bother us with water on the track.
"Go, go Secret gadget water spray" hahaha

I use it all the time!

As soon as im in third gear i flick the switch!

You just have to blow the water out of the tubes before the next run otherwise it keeps leaking

I put half water half ice in my washer bottle

Metho might be good as well!!!!

I dont have a leaking problem? Could be a non-OEM thing maybe?

Yeah ill be there but i will decide closer to sat if i practice.

Well ive had over 100 runs down the drag strip in my car or bloody close to it anyway! So practice not really needed! Just there for support

[Lee]

Yeah you realy are good with your lanuch's Dane.
I'm now running 14 psi cause of the exhaust, it's up 3 pounds from the factory 11psi.
I havent had much prcatice in my car (Have run 100's of times with my other cars), But I hope to get the hang of the car in the 1st few runs.
Hope it dont rain next weekend.

ha ha ha mofo :evil:

[Lee]

So whats the story with the AYC & Brakes?

[3zercrowd]

So how many people have we got for next week?

Look at the first post

[Lee]

Oh ok cool.
I'm even thinking on taking 2 cars out to race.
THE NX-R..........Dun, Dun, Dun!!! :shock:

But one problem.....I need wheels since i swapet the multi-fit wheels from it to the EVO, & Dane has brought the OZ Racing wheels (Wont fit anyway)

So i need to get some multi-fit 4 stud wheels OR 4x100pcd.

*EDIT* Might have found a nice set of 17's to buy.
So might be racing both car tonight & The evo next week. 8)

[Lee]

Well I found a nice set of 17"s & Brought them but i needed some of them skinny arse wheel nuts, & They would have to be ordered in.
So should be racing the NX-R next week.

Sounds like everyone had a good night of "Warm up" (Warm is the word too, Stinking hot !!!) B4 next week.
I think that ALL of our cars did suffer a bit in the heat, track was 31deg.
I went out looking for a 13.3, And I came very close & Ran a 13.4 @ 99.77mph with 1.82 60ft, couldn't get any better than the 1.8, Tried a few differant launching styles & leaving the line at 6,000-revlimiter was the best way for a good 60ft time.
Felt good lighting up all 4 wheels. Just took a bit of time & had faith in Mitsubishi Drivetrain.

80OVE went down hill after the 1st run (Could be heat no doubt)
So just give it 11/10th next week on your 1st run & have a few drinks at the bar after.

RSEA was stoked (Hey shit even i was ) with the time he got after taking off with some more revs at the line, 13.2 @ 106mph.
HEAPS more in that car for sure!
Cant remember what everyone else got on the night, But might wait for a nice cold winters night for better times.
