September 27, 201016 yr #611 When I got booted for running the 11.1, the guy actually said cars with a two piece tailshaft don't require a TS loop as the bracket supporting the centre bearing area acts as your loop. Unusually smart thing for a motorplex staff member to say really, since only one loop on a two piece shaft is useless.P.S: below excuse for the 11.1, found the next time I drove the car.
October 2, 201016 yr #612 I'll be there this coming Wednesday! Hopefully I get kicked!! I'm a noob at launching though so it might not happen All tips appreciated. I'll be running on my Kumho KU31's at stock pressures most likely and with the spare in the boot still
October 2, 201016 yr #613 might head down wednesday too....Steve try letting your tyres down a bit if you cant get traction off the line
October 2, 201016 yr #614 Yeah I normally run 36psi rear/38psi front which is high for the drags. You reckon low 20s maybe? I don't have a pressure tester pen so I'd wanna do it at a servo on the way there I guess. Kinda keen to run it as it is on the street though so not sure yet
October 3, 201016 yr #615 yeah maybe 30 psi to start off and see how you go, with 300+ rwkw's you will have traction issues with street tyres no matter what you do!!
October 3, 201016 yr #616 That sounds good, thanks. Yeah hopefully I get used to the "loss of traction point" rapidly so that I don't waste too many runs getting mid to high 12's!
October 4, 201016 yr #619 Is it going to be worth building much boost on the line with KU31's under me? Or will it just result in wheelspin?
October 4, 201016 yr #620 Do a real good burnout and get them hot and try your luck. Just build up the boost a bit more on each launch and learn how far you can push it before it breaks into excess wheel spin
