Alex Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I gave the Abbey Supra a good spanking on Saturday You ran a 12.5...no slip...but in a pic from ENVY he ran a 12.4...so I guess you won a race, but he got better? http://www.envyperformance.com/images/ourcars/japshow06/IMG_0557.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lambertpig Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Good to see everybody yesterday. Got a 12.08 on me first run which i was cuffed with but still not in the 11's yet barst! The boost sapping heat seemed to starting eating into people times around lunch time anybody else think that? Good to see everybody and weather turned out nice. Queues weren't so bad this year I think due to the footy. Was a good day overall. Lot better than Redline Rumble. My pics here: http://website.lineone.net/~jmoat/Jap_Show_05/thumbs_d/thumbs_p.html hi justin nice to meet you sunday thanks for the tips .got down to 13.12 with a 109.54 terminal so pleased as heat was muffling things like you say. car felt lots faster on way home at 7.30 pm so definatly a mid-high 12 on a cold day with a bit of race fuel and more boost 1.3 instead of 1.15 which i ran yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 hi justin nice to meet you sunday thanks for the tips .got down to 13.12 with a 109.54 terminal so pleased as heat was muffling things like you say. car felt lots faster on way home at 7.30 pm so definatly a mid-high 12 on a cold day with a bit of race fuel and more boost 1.3 instead of 1.15 which i ran yesterday Good to meet you too mate. So that TRAC fuse saved you nearly 0.5 seconds did it bud? 13.1 is around what I was getting before my torque converter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 lambertpig did you take the TRAC fuse out then? I always found it didnt make any difference to my runs so left it in yesterday. It surprised me how much harder it seemed to pull with MANU turned off in drive once I got to it though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Good to meet you too mate. So that TRAC fuse saved you nearly 0.5 seconds did it bud? 13.1 is around what I was getting before my torque converter. Justin, would that make much difference on mine? as I've always raced with that in, just turning the TC off manually? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 not at all Bobbeh AFAIK this only helps on an auto (and also puts the box under alot more strain) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
