Drags tonight

Xtreme F6 · 02-03-2006, 03:25 AM

Went down with the new engine in my F6 tonight and decided to give he a run, tuned it to around 400 rwkw's and hit the track, result.

First run 2500 rpm launch
2.27 60ft 12.4@123.8 mph

second run launch 2800 rpm
2.26 60 ft 12.3@124 mph

third run launch 3300 rpm
broken half shaft

mph is definitiely up there.... and the good ol BA hardware is letting you down again. Time for some billet axles and CVs

JG3282 · 02-03-2006, 09:50 AM

Awesome time considering the lazy sixty foot... Get that thing out of the hole and we may very well see an 11 very soon

XRQTR · 02-03-2006, 11:23 AM

Sorry to go a bit off topic, but JG could you empty your PM's I been trying to send but ur PM box is full. you must be one sought after fella lol

Now as for the Phoon Hoon, damm man the mph is lookin hot but whats with the 60's, she boggin down a bit hard I take it off the line, or you just trying to keep your driveline in tact. Either way good luck.

put an auto in it dude, im not going to tell you again.................. :eclipsee_

well i just wanted to get it down the track first up and with these things you either bog or break by the looks of it, on the last pass i wanted to get on it and the end result was breakage.

JG3282 · 02-03-2006, 12:27 PM

It seems as though when they are modified they just bog uncontrollably... How did you find it once boost came on?

toby123 · 02-03-2006, 03:45 PM

Watching the phoon last night was awsome, once it was on boost it was crazy, only got to see 1 of the runs as I was working down there most of the night.

Whats the stats on the new engine Simon? standard turbo etc. still?

yer mate at this stage its still sporting stock turbo, actuator, and exhaust manifold. :baby bott

PhantomXR8 · 02-03-2006, 07:22 PM

Simon,
That car definately goes like stink, the MPH!!!!! Pity about those tooth picks they call axles though.....

Xtreme F6 · 02-03-2006, 08:23 PM

yes well....... thats going to be my next mod, ive decided that im not going running with stock ones and have made making new ones my next mission before the bigger turbo and manifold go on.

rodderz · 02-03-2006, 11:25 PM

big mph... should see well into the 11's with a better launch with traction

Seems to be the story with just about all manual sedans with mods...launch hard, break CV's

Simon was it the shaft or the Bell that broke.

Wow, very impressive.Better still like Chris said put an auto in it.Manuals just don't cut it in the 1/4 mile game.

You would have been alot better off with a BF Tornado 6 speed auto. But then, where's the fun in that? Your car is awesome mate. With those kind of MPH you be getting mid 11's. What tyres do you run? I thought I read on here that someone has allready made billet axles/halfshafts for these BA sedans now?

thanks mate, no i havent got billet gear yet im starting to make some now, I used mt et streets for the runs but i was gentle off the line and still had traction issues once it hit boost, then on the third run i went to leave with some rpm's and it broke, I would rather wait now till i get some axles as i know the cars making the power to do what i want it to....11.5 -6 's is the goal, i know its a long way off but with the current 60 comming down to 1.7's if i can i dont think its a pipe dream to get there.

No-one told me that.

Keep up the good work Simon, It might be harder in a manual but get a good pass down is very satisfying espesially if you smash a auto driver along the way.

rodderz · 05-03-2006, 09:39 AM

Wade there aint many that can punt a manual down the strip like you do.... a chirp off the line and crash through the gears

It's pretty harsh on the car but it's the only way to get a good time....not easy either to get the combo of launch and fast changes going either

Just takes practise,trial and error and no mechanical sympathy at all :eclipsee_

Exactly nugget someone has to do it and thats us, people dont give you much respect for just having a go, they just want to cut you down for just having a go. That all it takes in a manual providing you do your home work as to knowing what your in for.
