Nice work on taking out the title!

Just curious, this year im going to attend every WAS and hopefully compete for a spot.
Where you do find out what Category /class im competing in and how many different
categories are there ?
I've had a look at the QR website and cant find anything.

It's Fireballs little weapon, which he peeled off a 62 in smile.gif

Mine is extremely similar to his and I hope to do similar times .

I was busy watering the pavement with my runny nose so I donated my brand new A048's to the white Integra ...

He scrubbed them in good laugh.gif

What car you looking at getting into after the GT-R Minko smile.gif

Pending negotiations, something completely different... a gun-grey GT-R instead of the white one. Will see what happens, i cant bring myself to buy something different hsdance.gif

Hope the Honda's ok - was cruising down the back straight with hazards on

Whats wrong with stock radiators? I have never had my coolant get over, let alone near, 1/2 way. Go Toyota over engineering, shame my car is too heavy dry.gif

i really have to sort out my understeer. Should have still hit 58's then when i look at 59.2 in track set minus tune. i did 1:01.8 with street tyres and stock brake pads a few weeks ago sad.gif. couldn't get the power down in the dipper + the crossing all the way onto the straight. tried 2 different pressures 28 and 30 so back to the drawing boards lol.

just looked at the times not many managed to sneak into the sub 60's grats to rob in that heat still throwing down a 58

You didn't think that the original carbie engine could power it into the low 60's now did you smile.gif

Puts pressure on me to post low 60's thou as I have a similar setup laugh.gif

are you running 28-30psi cold pressure on semis? or hot pressure?

if its cold pressure....there is your problem...run less

Post #1281

28-30 hot. start at 23-24

only thing i would change to suspension is getting some ohlins. been in cams car and they are great. Other than that next upgrade would be 6 pots on the front 4's on the back smile.gif

car stops pretty good as is, took my mate for a ride and made him grab the fuck me bar a few times tongue.gif

Oh yeah ...

All I'm saying is that there probably are other suspension adjustment parts to look at before considering replacing the suspension you have at the moment, or take it to a suspension tuner smile.gif

I know I need a cage...

First session I could hear all the plastic in my car groaning and cracking. Came back into the pits and my speakers covers, little other plastic bits, my headunit plastic edge part and my roof light had all snapped and come off from the torsion ohmy.gif

Also my brakes and clutch both kept losing pressure and I was overshooting the dipper and crossover.

...and my dif cant handle the semi slicks, it just spins instead of the tyres spinning.

More money spending coming my way biggrin.gif

are you running any strut braces?

a rear brace will encourage oversteer.

a front brace will encourage understeer.

what about adjustable shocks? same principles.

a stiff rear / soft front will encourage oversteer.

a stiff front / soft rear will encourage understeer.
