OST drag night - Wed 20 Feb 2008

[hamgatan]

its just a 1JZ cock fest.ghey.

arent you used to cock fests though?

[WA_TRD_83]

haha. everyone should beat me, i've never dragged before so dont' know what rpm range to drop from. I also don't know what times a stock 3tgte would do, any ideas?

My TA63 with 3TGTE did mid 15's from memory.. But it wasnt in the best of condition..

Ryan - we all gotta have a first time.. so jump on in and have some fun..
personally, i just race against myself, trying to better my best times each go.
There's always gonna be someone quicker, with more HP, and better skill than me..

Yeah, my comment's just tongue-in-cheek. Come down and have fun and just enjoy learning what it's all about. You could be a natural, etc. but doesn't matter either way.

Apparently, I should be quicker, so I'm still working things out after a few times down.

How quick with a 3TGTEU? Who knows? There's lots of factors, besides the engine, like driver (big factor), car setup/weight. And even a given engine type can have different "manners" between cars depending on tune, plumbing, boost, etc.

I've blown away some Supras, which on the surface are the same and powered by the same engine as others, but been blown away by the others. Lots of variation between cars/drivers. I'm not out to win either, but a good time would be nice - before someone hands me a handbag!

id need an outside observer to tell me the truth...

someone that knows me?

Ezra... Matty?!

[Basic]

This really sucks but I might not be able to make it now. Depends on the car. For some reason between yesterday and today it's leaked out almost all the oil. I'm going to work on it tomorrow and see what's up so I will confirm then.

[Valkyrie]

I'm out unfortunately Lucky for all of you guys I suppose

[Wildsupra]

I am having technical difficulties witht this friggen box.......installed....yes, tuned and working like its meant too HELL NO!!!

[EldarO]

installed and working.

just no second gear ahhahaha.

cmon matty HTFU.

[Wildsupra]

not exactly dude, i do have 2nd gear now, but for some reason the whole paddle shift setup is not working....the diagnostic program registers the shift via the paddle setup but the supra stick box doesnt make the shift (or send any power to the solenoids), if i leave the laptop plugged in and run the car in diagnostic mode i can change gears using 2 buttons on the laptop as upshift downshift.....so worse case scenario is i run down the strip with laptop on passengers seat.
Took it for a few "test laps" feels very solid with the gear changes and all is good and seems to pull quite hard!! Apart from the fact that i have a bulk load of lag in first gear the car feels quite fast....
Lets hope MPH can achieve a reasonable 1/4 mile time and then next time when i have a hi stall sorted out it should be quite interesting indeed.

[EldarO]

witht he whole laptop thing.

ust remember, if you use nos, your passenger side floor could fall out.

or, in the movie, it could be your side, so just be careful k?

[Wildsupra]

yeah i did worry about that ay, also hope i never see danger to intake manifold start flashing on the laptop either, who knows what the hell that could mean.....

lucky we have such movie's to keep us aware of potential dangers hehe

[Jackel]

but theres nothing to say about not dragging a ferrari when you just rebuilt a engine?

[EldarO]

well thats only if you cant afford it, pal.
