thanks. matt

**MR_LON** · 06-11-2008, 04:36 PM

i'll be working in the morning so i will prob get there about 12 unless i finish early. i have my own helmet

**MR_LON** · 08-11-2008, 07:57 PM

made it out there today to see if there was any difference in the car with the extra mods on, IC, CAI & CATBACK. the weather was a bit dodgy & there was a diagonal head wind 30+ km/hr.
there wasn't many people there so i managed to get 12 runs in 3hrs.
i improved my previous time by 4 tenths...
my runs

1; 14.807 @ 99.86
2; 14.404 @ 101.55
3; 14.589 @ 101.06
4; 14.164 @ 101.36
5; 14.519 @ 101.76
6; 14.605 @ 101.16
7; 14.055 @ 102.58
8; 14.329 @ 101.75
9; 14.721 @ 97.85 i used 5th gear on this run to see if it was better or worse
10; 14.045 @ 101.58
11; 14.691 @ 101.35
12; 14.473 @ 101.48

Excellent time, so close to the 13 sec bracket.....well done that's 1 quick XR5.
Is it custom tuned?

**MR_LON** · 09-11-2008, 10:02 AM

no it's just running 1 of the generic tunes from the flash tuner, i have a choice of 5 tunes but i didn't take it with me to swap them around. i ran the tune i use every day.
from other xr5's with similar mods it would be around the 160fwkw, haven't had mine on a dyno yet.

C&D Motorworks in Duke St Sunshine/Braybrook have an AWD Dyno Ron. Should call by and get a power run done. About $80 bucks mate, then you'll know what your putting out. You could do a run for each tune.

Pretty much flat 14. Thats GT territory. Excellent

Redrum · 09-11-2008, 02:27 PM

Ron, get it tuned. When my car was flashed with generic tune it actually lost power.

mine definately has more power than stock, once i get around to changing the front half of the exhaust i'll have to get a custom tune

Geezus Ron. Well done. Its no wonder i couldn't shake you off through the windy ones.

XXRR-50 · 10-11-2008, 10:53 PM

60ft timesaren't great, my best was a 2.2sec but the average was 2.5
fwd & single spinner gives a very small window of to get off the line well, one of the things on my long shopping list is a quaiffe lsd this will help heaps
