mark newman Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 Bad. I have really only had one run, without breaking something. so far 2 diffs / 2 clutches. I done 11.5 with out launch, as the revs on it was set up wrong, just used the right foot. I am just waiting for somthing to break again, so when I know the car is strong I will let rip.

Mark, 11.5 is still bloody fast, makes you 9th fastest on the board, not a bad start mate. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?166336-Supra-Drag-Racing-Times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Over my dead body, auto's are for pussies LOL well till I get one, a 10 second auto car will always be a bit of a bitch to drive on the street and it still wont stop you breaking things.

Mark you have done really well, Im proud of you, 11.5 on your first run in a 6 speed car !!!! way to go. You have been unlucky with diffs and clutches so far but just shrug it off, all will come good pretty soon and you have plenty of practice coming, Fast 5, TOTB, Suprapod, the rotorstock, we will get the nitrous working with the progressive controller and mid to low 10's should beckon.
