OST drag night - Wed 20 Feb 2008

[GeneSPIDA]

Matty,
what about some "overnight parts from Japan" for Wildsupra?
I'm looking forward to seeing what mine can do, but hold some grave concerns for the W58. The clutch pretty much makes it impossible to do a 'soft' launch.

Regards

Peter

Should we bring a dustpan and brush to sweep up the bits?

Do all you fast guys "slip the clutch" on the launch? That is, purposely release it slower so that it isn't fully engaged straight away, so the clutch slips a bit and presumably you have a better launch?

[Casino Kid]

yeah ill be there in the MR2

yeah thats the idea, but its a matter of slipping it without it getting too hot that it then doesnt grip. Its a fine line.

[Pimpin_1JZ]

ooh yay this should be an interesting night
Bring it on Adam, dont go easy on me like last time

Yes, it's about time I've raced you again

[WA_TRD_83]

yeah ill be there in the MR2

Ross.. we'll have to find you some more N/A power to race against. Sounds a lot like a 1J / 2J battle at the moment


1 problem solved for me... Eldar did some carpark re-wiring for me last night and got rid of knock sensor error code! w00t!...
Now I just need a boost controller so I can blow a head gasket again like my last trip to the drags!

I think I might bring the GX81 down. Now that I have a heavy barge I can go down the strip in. Would be intresting

[Pimpin_1JZ]

Now Ross will have something to race...

Matt... you have a who & what now??

[RA35GT]

Wouldnt mind bringing the Cressi down, but will depend on the actual date due to work etc.

[Wildsupra]

farkn spewin my 4000rpm hi stall can no longer be done as planned, unless i wanna shell out over 2k and have no warranty that it will actually work

back to the drawing board to try find another way of makin adam scared

7M-GTE MX73 im looking at your sig and wonder WTF is a RA35 GT? do you mean RA25 GT? aka 77 mustang celica GT spec?

Matty

[EldarO]

not till i've got at least a MA70 clutchpack LSD in it. otherwise im goin to launch.... sideways into the barrier..

oh and i need to make the cat fall out somehow

i assume your joking.

as the only way your gonna launch sideways is if both wheels slip and send you sideways, which is exactly what will happen if your rev happy and dump the clutch, morseso with an LSD

i wanna see some more power, then it might live up to its nick name!

figured out while its being homozexual yet?!?!?

According to Wayne Stephensons web page, a RA35 is the late model Japanese spec of the RA28, and presumably a GT version:

Japan struggled with emmission control laws, so in 1976 the 23 and 28 were replaced by the 35 for both coupe and liftback models

So, a RA35GT would need to have been imported from Japan. I don't think they have the 5-lens RA25 tail lights, but the same 3-lens ones as on an RA28.

[EldarO]

its a fancy pants RA28 (rivers going to kill me )

you can get em in NZ if you look hard enough.

[triptek]

Damo - I'll see how i go over the next few weeks with modifying the subframe to fit a G series 2 way LSD in the ma61. If i can get it done by then I'll pm you to say if i'm in or not.

[beatle]

went and had alook at the gearbox today, might be helping him pull it out on saturday, so hopefully all things done and dusted by mid feb

hambag, the guyh i'm getting this off is wrecking a complete jza70 (with TO4Z 2jz) with a 4.1 torsen, want his number?
