Well I thought I'd start a little topic on this years drag racing :)

I managed a 13.4 last year at Rotorstock (with budget tyres). This year my car will be a little bit lighter and I'll have better tyres. I'm hoping to break into the 12s, but its a bit of a long shot.

So what are other people expecting?

As I've done bugger all to the Rex I'll be happy matching my 14.4 made last year. :)

I do think it's gonna be a good year for the strip though :thumbsup:

This paticular car ran a 13.5 at santapod with the previous owner behind the wheel running CAT's and standard boost, according to John(Dna) the guy drove it like Miss Daisy.
The car is now boosting 1.1bar and as of tomorrow the CAT is being replaced with a decat so im also hoping to be in the 12's.

I got my ass kicked lastyear by Paullen but now its a different ball game.. :P :lol:

Should be close Jay B)

Been looking on the SXOC and the best 300bhp 1/4 is 12.9 seconds. Mine has to be quite a bit lighter to do that though.

Stevey should be a lot quicker this year with his new tubby :D

I went down to RE:Worx this morning....

There is gonna be some interesting action on the strip this year!!

They have a new tubbed RX8 with huge fat tyres on the back and a 20b turbo under the bonnet!! :afro:

Quote:
 
The rear end is a strengthened 9" with gundrilled half shafts, ally spool and ally case. And lots of rubber in due course!!!

Transmission will be a Powerglide.

Engine will be 20B. Currently a stock engine is fitted for mock up, ported motor ready to go in. T51SPL turbo will be replaced by some thing big  Will feed through a PWR intercooler to a custom sheet metal intake manifold using a 90mm throttle body. Will run 6 x 1500cc injectors and 3 x 550cc injectors prior to methanol. Engine management is the HKS F-Con V Pro, logging by MoTeC.

14.4...Is that not what Fry got at the Wheel? Is the Starlet not more powerful now???

I'm looking for a Early 14 if i can shift the Supras fat ass off the line....lol ;)

I've seen a modded FTO get 14.8-14.9's down the POD ;)

Who knows what the S15 will do!!!! Guess in its current state around the 14s mark will be an achievement but I need to go FASTER!! :drive:

My old Pulsar used to run consistant low 12s so I gotta get the S Body to match that...somehow...one way or another... Toyo R888s :D :rock: :rock:

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved S body,
but rather to skid in sideways screamin woooohoooo watta ride!!!

A manual GPX stripped out will easily see mid 14's (1180KG OEM) 197bhp entirely possible with a good launch.

Id be very upset if I was in the 16’s that’s what I got in my 1.6 110bhp XR2i a few years back.
