Going To Calder

[TURBOXR]

I have a question

Im about to go to calder for the first time ever just to see what she will do.

I scored a set of MT ET Streets. Can I drive to the track with them on ?? (they are on now) What tyre pressure??

And what should I drop the pressure to for the runs??

Help please... im leaving in halfa

I was going to head down there tonight, but I think it is going to rain isn't it?

You could drive to the strip with them on, some cops are ok, others will fry you. Start your pressures at ~20psi and go down from there depending on the amount of wheelspin on launches.

Remember to get a good amount of thick white smoke from the tyres to get them up to temp

oh, HAVE FUN!!!

Yeah im going to take my chances. Doesnt look to bad outside... I reckon it will hold. Plus its closed for the next two months.

Thanks senna... its only 15 min away so ill do it. What pressures should I run em on the street?

on the street you should keep them up around 30psi. If you see any water be really careful, they don't work well in the wet!

They're running again in a fortnight too, so if you miss out, you can hit it up before the shut-down.

I wanted to go tonight with the TT, but going to the footy instead, to watch the Pies smash the Saints.

MT streets dont actually need much of a warmup. that's how they are designed, so you are probably just wasting tread by doing too big a burnout.

[senna_T]

your right Phil, I don't really mean a big long burnout, just one that gets good smoke. Brian has been finding out the difference between good burnouts and half-arsed ones!

Good luck mate, ill give ya a tip when stalling it up watch your boost gauge let the boost slowly rise if it starts to go quick jump off the brake and launch that sucker.

also dont worry about the lights go in your own time I let the lights go green, then stall it, then launch.

And make sure you dont backoff untile your past the line.

Good luck should see 11's

ok just finished my first run. 12.773 at 188.22 kph. sh*t I know but I stalled it really low because im a bitch. Ill fix that now. I think im now addicted to this drag racing sh*t. Look out wallet. Oh and the fg xr8 next to me ran a 15 flat.
