Posted 17/04/04 01:44 AM Posted 17/04/04 01:44 AM You can't load the car on the street as you can at the track so I think you should drop those tyre pressures down to 20psi. If you cut a 1.9 60fter you might run that flat 12 you've been dreaming of.ScottyI ran the second half of the night at 26psi in the tyres,it didn't seem to make any difference. I never really smoked the tyres too much at the start as I need the tread to drive on. are you using std 17's and what exhuast are you running.Good stuff Jeff The tyres are 24000km's old and are the standard 17's. I have had the centre muffler removed.Don't pour water over the intercooler as the track marshalls will be pissed off at you for dropping water over the track. Use bags of ice. Venom XR6I have thought about using water or ice but haven't actually done it yet. The car was stuck in a 1hour traffic jam on the way to the track because the Southeastern Freeway was closed while I was on it. I dont think the car ever really cooled down enough. When/if I go again I will be leaving alot earlier and parking the car for a few hours so it can get nice and cool.Thanks guys for all your encouragement and nice comments, its really appreciated.Geea.

I'd say those times are conservativefor the ability of your car. Like me you want to keep it real to the street (Ai!) so you know that your can replicate this speed on the road. I reckon with a slight change in the tuning and your reaction times down you would be around the 12 mark.Mate congrats again, looking forward to going for a spin in it!!

Jonathon next time your in the area drop in and you can take "BOOF" for a spin. Becareful though he's addictive and it could lead to your own mods happening before you were planning them.Geea.
Guest Scootre Guests Posted 17/04/04 10:49 AM Posted 17/04/04 10:49 AM (edited) I'd be taking along one of those cheap sh!t water filled room air cons and a generator if needed. Then with air con ducting, pump the cold air where needed.edit: and congrats mate. 12's on road tyres? I'd love to know how that beast of yours would perform on slicks.
