SYDNEY DRAG NIGHT #3 : WSID 30th Aug Wicked Wednesday

[CORZZA]

2K on the clock! your car is run in man! Go hard and see what she can do!

[RedLiner]

im coming if my quickshifter arrives and gets installed before the date...

[SyxXPaC]

Yes confirmed the 30th!!!

ZEE i'd say u would get alot of interested ppl watching as you would prob be the first mps 3 to run there.

Mazda will have you to blame if they have poor sales (or good sales if you run a mad time)

:P

[CORZZA]

Anyone know how the Mazda 6 MPS went when you guys were at the track the 2nd time??

[SyxXPaC]

if i remember it got a 14 flat and the other run i saw was a 14.3

i will be lucky to match my big brother's times! :P They are AWD remember, maybe some stickier tyres would help ;) My Bridgestone Potenza RE050A have no chance on a drag strip.

MOTOR got a 14.2s pass @ 153.23km/h for the MPS6, and 14.67s @ 157.9km/h for the MPS3. SO its all in the launch and traction ;) Would love to crack a WRX's time though, 14.29s @ 154.31km/h.

[CORZZA]

Zee its not impossible man! run on the best fuel

let some air out of your tyres, lighten it abit by taking the spare out if you have a sub that too and go for it!

i might also bring along some lighter 17s and have been using 98RON all the time.. want to do the runs fully loaded to see what i can get and with 2000+kms i don't think the engine has fully "loosened" up yet but confident i can match MOTOR's times ;) check out the trap speed, it craps all over the 2 awds :P its 1.5km/h off the EVO9's pace @ 1000m so if i get the launch right and not wheelspin too much in 1st/2nd/3rd i should be alright.

Wheels said Sportivo's 0-400m time is 16.2, but i have done 15.495s. I have stock intake, stock exhaust too.

[ZEEROLLA]

can't wait Bill!! :P i have a lot of respect for the 2zz so would like to see some great times :D

[Mintos]

hmmm, maybe if i only try and do a couple of runs to keep the clutch cool it could work... <_< then that way i could watch some runs as well :D

but then there is still the lack of a good traction solution and if i cannot sort that as well i am not going to go much better - DAMN!

[ZEEROLLA]

Was gonna head down to WSID today to spectate cos i know a guy with a MPS 3 was gonna run but i lost my way . I heard a XR5 turbo ran a 14.5 followed by 14.8, 14.8 with 25psi front tyre pressure and not sure what else, MOTOR ran a 15.3s pass. This guy with the MPS 3 ran a 14.8 with 155km/h pass, his 1st time at drags, no adjustment to tyre pressure, everything still in car with all his other crap. He left after 2 runs. He also said he was taking it easy shifting before 6000rpm and ended up having to use 5th gear to cross the line during that 14.8 pass. I guess he could have held it in 4th bcus 4th maxes out at 164km/h so an extra shift probably cost him 2/10 tenths or more.

It's good to know what to look out for now ;) But i don't know about lowereing tyre pressures, puts a lot more strain on the mounts.

[MR22ZZ]

sorry Zee... didn't get your message until this morning... but... head to the M4/M7 intersection and follow the signs ;) :P

thats alright Dylan It was a last minute thing that i decided to go, now i should know my way and hopefully see some of yous there on the 30th ;)

[RedLiner]

COMEE OOOONNN QUICKSHIFTER...

:D

[SyxXPaC]

Ill be there on the 30th still

just cleaned out my Throttle body. GOt new fresh tyres. Cleaned MAF. Apexi filter, just flushed the coolant and using redlien wetter water. Car is running like new.

Was amazed hpow much black **** was in the throttle body.

I want a 15.5 dammit !@!!!!#@#!@#!@#

Mintos you making it down to rep the 1ZZ's?

Hey Zee i hope u beat 14.8 dcause if you dont a few of the boys will have their flame throwers on :P

[ZEEROLLA]

Hey Zee i hope u beat 14.8 bcause if you dont a few of the boys will have their flame throwers on :P

:P

Now i just got to weigh up whether to risk breaking an engine mount with a hard launch and lowered front tyre pressure to crack 14.8 Also for your info even if i don't crack 14.8 i won't feel so bad because i have seen a WRX STI Type RA with 206kw run 14.9 :P

I badly want the LSD in my escort.

2.0L Pinto powered escort like mine ran a 13.3 over the 1/4 recently in england. Actually they all run that be interested to see what those pommies are putting into their n/a motors. Fecking insane.

[MR22ZZ]

Cosworth Duratec power perhaps?

you need one of these my friend :)

The cosworth equipped ones are running 10's 11's :o :o :o

These are 2.0L SOHC Pintos that are running 13's. Insane. Methinks it's all engine, driveline and weight reduction work. I was very suprised Dylan. Very. I'll try and find something on them.

[CORZZA]

Nice big cam,Individual throttle bodies perhaps

[ZEEROLLA]

Check this out guys! 14.467sec at WSID for a XR5 Turbo. It is "STOCK" but running 22psi front tyre pressure!

XR5 turbo 1/4mile time WSID 16/8/06

But if you look at the time slips the XR5 trap speed was 155km/h, and the guy in the MPS 3 that did a 14.8s also clocked 155km/h but like i said he shifted into 5th gear and had all the crap in his car plus everything is stock. :ubbwink:

I think if the MPS 3 driver can improve on his launch, use 25psi tyre pressure and get a better 60feet time, and also stick in 4th gear he should be able to crack some amazing times. Let's await :D
