eggbert - yeah was after the elusive 14.XXX pass as per notrthy's coment.

1zz - it doesnt matter how long you take at the christmas tree. the time starts once you leave the line. in this case I wanted to play catchup I let the other guy go off then i lauched hard and chased him ;)

Blue - This run was up against a Purple XR6 Turbo. :blink: I had another run against a 400kW 300ZX which ran a 12.6......i felt so intimidated :P

Talking about Launching hard. When I launch hard (5000 - 6000) the car tends to refuse to go into 2nd (No - I do not wanna discuss my Gearbox woes :angry: ) Well OK ... sometimes it does go in ... and when it does ... B)

I was just wondering at what rev you were launching at ??

cool, nice time mate, judging by ur 60ft time and mph, 14 second pass should be easy!!!

i ran at WSID last nite in my civic vtir, first run ran a 15.49 with a 2.43 60ft, then my third run i got a 15.137 with a 2.21 60ft time!!

first launch was at 5000 - 2.5 60 ft

second launch was at 6000 - 2.4 60 ft

The key to launching in our car is a slight slip of the clutch...dont dump it. and if need be slip it slightly in the 1-2 change also so you stay in lift ;)

It also helps to smoke the tyres, as my first run was with only road driving temp. the second run I smoked the tyres before the lineup (rubber from the track all over my inner guards and under the car now :o )

Hey,

We do 14.8 in total stockers, so you need a lot of practice, considering the number of your mods :P

Try launching from 7k and flatshifting for beginning ;)

Flat shifting is very damaging to everything though, it's not really something you'd want to do - even on the drag strip.

our stockers can grab 15.4 - 15.8 so the margin from there to 15.0 is quite a fair bit when you think about it imek ;) :P

1zz - i dont flat shift ;)

      Aurion 2005 transmission issue

      Sealed transmission essentially means that the transmission does not have a dipstick. The U660E transmission fitted to the Toyota Aurion has a 24mm fill bolt and a drain bolt with a 6mm hex key. Your vehicle is more than 10 years old and has travelled more than 100,000 miles [160,000 KMs]. If you want the transmission to last, then replacement of the ATF is recommended. For your specific vehicle, based upon my DIY experience and lots of internet research since 2016, I would be just doing a pan drain and fill. At this stage, Definitely NOT a transmission flush to replace all of the fluid. Easiest method involves an accurate measurement of the drained ATF [at ambient/room temperature] and replacement with an equivalent amount. Repeat the pan drain and fill annually for the next 3 years. Following link to other threads in this Forum will give you more information about replacing the ATF for the U660E transmission.

      Aurion 2005 transmission issue

      I don't have any transmission specialist around in this town. I did call and check multiple mechanics around here but they all say its sealed and there's no need to replace the fluid. I lived with this issue for at least 2 years because the 4-5 different mechanics said my car was fine, so instead of going back to other mechanics and looking dumb I just lived with it. I eventually got sick of it, read more about the torque converter issues with these cars and got it checked by another mechanic one last time. We went for a test drive, the problem happened and he knew what I was talking about. He quoted me the $700-760 for a fluid and filter change with Nulon ATF. I was told it could work and it might not, but I'm tired of living with it so I might as well just try and see what happens.

      Aurion 2005 transmission issue

      What is the odometer reading of your vehicle? I would suggest viewing the following or similar YouTube videos. Replacement of the ATF will greatly improve gear shift changes. This YouTube video provides another viewpoint for your consideration.

      Aurion 2005 transmission issue

      I have checked: the cost of a filter kit is ~$120 and the most expensive fluid is $68. Add a couple of hours labour @$100 / hour, gives a total of $380. I assume that the job is reasonably straight forward. Why not try an auto transmission place, for a quote. Herb

      Tyres Upsize / Suspension - Hilux Workmate 2012

      Hello everyone, I recently purchased a 2012 Hilux Workmate (TGN16R, single cab, cab chassis) and have a few questions. My typical setup includes a toolbox and a trundle drawer loaded with gardening tools, a lawn mower, and hand tools (shovel, pick, crowbar). I estimate my constant load to be around 150 kg. Occasionally, I carry bags of fertilizer or mulch (+100/200kg), and sometimes I transport up to 1/2 ton of mulch or soil (I try not to exceed this limit). The vehicle currently has 205/70R15 tyres. What’s the largest tyre size I can upgrade to without lifting the vehicle or significantly affecting the odometer? Would 215/70R15 or 215/65R16 be suitable? Of course i will consider speed and load ratings. Any recommendations? Is it possible to reinforce the rear suspension for heavier loads (e.g., mulch or soil) without lifting the vehicle? I notice that on this load the rear just goes down dramatically, and my mechanic says the suspension is all right. If I opt for a 1" lift (garage height constraints prevent anything taller), is this feasible? Any recommendations for achieving this? Thank you very much for any help!
