My WSID OUTING

[JAZE55]

This was my first time out at WSID, and it wasnt without dramas but was very fun. Im quite dissapointed I didnt take my car out before.

My MODS are I/H/E and unichip. Plus removal of rear tyre,tools and bottom of rear seats.

330ft 6.431

660ft 9.686

MPH 77.21

1000 ft 12.493

ET 14.863

MPH 94.53

Second run:

RT 0.911

60ft 2.491

330ft 7.275

660ft 12.4

MPH 45.48

1000 ft 17.322

MPH 44.34

Third run:

RT 0.813

60ft 2.395

330ft 6.527

660ft 9.816

MPH 73.89

1000 ft 12.611

ET 14.971

MPH 96.7

60ft 2.395

ET 14.971

MPH 96.7

Fourth run:

RT 0.704

60ft 2.475

330ft 6.593

660ft 9.849

MPH 77.5

1000 ft 12.693

ET 15.405

MPH 78.82

On my second run I had lost 2nd gear and fourth run I lost 4th gear. Somehow the shifter cables for the lower gears had come loose on the housing. I was quite suprised on my fourth run as I got 15.405 with no fourth gear. I assume I was changing quite hard plus all the struts make the car chassis quite stiff, causing the problem. I am quite happy with my time and am sure I can do alot better.

My fourth run was looking to be the best until I changed to 4th and had no gear. Looking at the stats it would of been the best time, even with the lower 60ft.

With a better 60ft and more weight reduction (back rear seats out as they weigh 20kgs and also the passenger seat 17kg.) and lower tyre pressures, I am sure I can get into the low 14s with a MPH of roughly 99.

Your first run looked the best with the lower 60ft time and all....But your fourth run wasn't bad at all.

All in the launch, need more practice etc with launching.

BTW its off topic but whats your next car going to be??

[JAZE55]

Yeah my 60ft needs improvement and I was launching at 3500-4000rpm straight drop, but i hooked up. I had my tyres on 25psi, next time I'll drop them to 20psi and see if it makes a difference.

yeah ..... the thing about this is though u need to see what condition the strip was in .... i.e. if they had some of the big boys laying down rubber and they didnt clean the track that is perfect ...... however if they had cleaned it all up then ur u wont achieve the same results ...... and u might even find that at 20psi ur traction is worse that wat it was last time wen u were on 25psi .....

i have run on it under both conditions and it is definietly noticeable.

Jase, I may also be worth setting the coilovers to full hard on the rear and soft on the front, for minimal squat and max traction to improve that 60 foot time.

[JAZE55]

Yeah i had my front on full soft but my back was only on 1/4 hard. Thanks for the tip dylan, I will try that in the future.
