Steve,
What you doing back on here,
- they're not big and they're not clever! But I had a 2.1 60ft time, probably due to inexperienced launching and lassa (bridgestone cheap) street tyres. I am currently still using the TD06 as I dont like to put oversized turbos on.^Trickster^ wrote:B26-----Andrew Standring----12.09-----117
What was the 60ft time of this car? This is the GT35R turbod 2litrr by rogue?
I did a 12.44 with a speed of 116mph.
Im interested to what power this car is putting out, a dyno graph would be nice.

..... I'm running 350 at the hubs on a larger t4 gt35r billet turbo equvalent and thats only at 20psi on a completely stock engine so I think thats making plenty of power....I did a 12.6 with a 2.09 60ft and a terminal of 112....so my cars got the potential just need a built engine at 30-32psi.... ](./images/smilies/eusa_wall.gif "Brick wall"){kind=small}

We beat things like the Westfield Megabusas, 911s, powerful Cossies, RX7s, GTiRs, GT4s, Skylines, Supras..... we should be giving the team a pat on the back, not pulling them apart 
. the likes of MikeJC and Toni had only sat in the car since all teh work had been completed that same week. =D> 
- friggin gorgeous car too 
damn 5th Lumber Disc !
Which was using stock rod bolts when I should of went ARP. I pulled my engine out and apart the very next day to find out the cause. If a car is not making power with certain mods, Im interested in what the reasons are behind it as im sure alot of other people are, the same in other instances where people seem to have less mods then others and make massive power for what they have. I made 308ft/lb which held from 4800 to 600rpm then dropped to 260ft/lb by 7000, I had no time to adjust my cams at the dyno.
Unfortunately at that point we discovered the map sensor as a restriction so my power was down on what was expected on the day...it is getting that replaced for a 3 bar, or possibly more. When that happens it'll get dynoed and remapped - my own feeling is there is a hell of a lot more to come from this car. It was also less than ideal that the first time I drove it since upgrade was from the starting line of my first quarter mile try 
That and the fact I've done a 13.9 in my standard rev3 tubby I am confident it'll do a lot better when I get used to the power delivery (and change the tyres from crap Toyos, and get the launch control working!).(figures at the hubs):
- the original brief was for just 400bhp at the flywheel. As Andrew has got used to each successive upgrade he's bought it back for more power. We're now at the point where we need to revisit things like the mild headwork and cams to see the true potential of the engine. Likewise, the clutch is below par and slipping at full chat.
Seldom do you hear talk of tyres and or pressures, and possibly even more importantly suspension set ups 
.. Obviously this gave very little time for driver/car to get to know one and other. The car was designed with a focus on track driving in terms of the engines power delivery and suspension set up. This is where we felt as a team that we would do the most damage at this years TOTB. Not for lack of power, (and dare I say driver ability lol 
) but because of the real fact that we were running a suspension set up that simply did not lend itself to the characteristics needed of a drag car. Regardless of how I launched the car it would spin 1st and 2nd ! That being said a terminal of 123mph across the line is not to be sniffed at and shows the potential of the car javascript:emoticon(':shock:')(4 hours worth of queuing!) we were only able to make 2 of our five runs on the handling circuit. So in short I didn't even get the chance to do a hot lap The car run without so much as a complaint and we put in some pretty good times given the circumstances. Without the chaps and lady of Roque Motorsport, Patrick, Matt, Toni and Carolyn backing me I wouldn't have even been there =D> 
what map sensor are you running at the moment and at what level did it become a problem? 1.6 bar being the limit... I suspect the surface might be more friendly. (and girl) who represented IMOC at TOTB. Who will be the first to take on the GT Battle and give that new Fensport celica (650hp)a good spanking., all held together. personally I'd have been brickin the idea of pushing my motor so soon after a new build, run=in or no run-in., just a thought, it does puzzle me how many clubs all say the same thing concerning not being ready with their cars or finishing them at the last minute. Ive heard the same in RX7 and Cossie circles and it makes you wonder why this is the case when everyone knows a year ahaead when the event is. Like I said, just a thought.Bobby (aka Shaggar) wrote:However

Need practice too, so will be going to some RWYBs at Santa Pod in the near future if anyone is interested.

But yet again I failed at the last hurdle, hence the TRD car. I only bought it say six weeks ago so it was always going to be tight. tonigmr2 wrote:I might try and go to that on the 13th.
