there was a reason why my car wasnt going any faster than last time.. even though i had the flash tuner through it.. it wasnt a bad tune, it wasnt my launch, it wasnt my tyre pressure..

it was the fact that i had the factory tune in.. not the 98 generic..

when simon and i grabbed lunch i "thought" id flashed in the 98 tune, all the lights did what they were supposed to. but when i went to flash it back to factory this morning.. when it foirst powered up, it said that the "Factory tune" was the one i was running.

NOT HAPPY JAN... hahahah idiot.. so i got a PB of 15.13 @ 94.99mph WITHOUT a generic tune..

Did you do that on purpose just to give yourself an excuse to come back down HAHA. Looking forward to seeing you again.

Falc'man · 16-07-2007, 11:03 PM

Ok, last week it wasn't as cool as we would've liked at WSID. But just checking the forecast, it seems like the snapfreeze will hang around til Wednesday (I can't feel my toes at the moment). So, if anyones interested, come down, I'll be there...
I know the Futura's got a 14.7 in it.

Wednesday Fine. Cold southwest wind.

City: Min: 6 Max: 13
West: Min: 3 Max: 12

Thursday Cold. Windy. Coastal showers.

City: Min: 7 Max: 14
West: Min: 3 Max: 13

Good luck, hopefully you don't freeze out there that night, and bring home that PB

**Stav** · 17-07-2007, 12:47 AM

Good luck mate.My heater will be running full boar ...the prediction is for freezing cold..There will be pb"s all round.

FAT-51X · 17-07-2007, 08:20 AM

hmmmmmmmmmmm.... do i or dont i???

sounds like a good idea.. and this time id actually run the 98 tune..

will let you know..

Master G · 17-07-2007, 01:51 PM

Hi all, the 11th went well. I got to set a official PB of 11.4 even thought my last run most definitely nudged or was a 10 (the timing gear failed for the ET). I will be back out tomorrow night to make it official.

With the cold weather I am hopeful of setting a decent time to get 'banned' from WSID, say hi if you are around I will be the one standing next to the Silver Beast keeping my hands warm over the engine.

how the hell can you get banned from WSID? so if you go too fast then you get banned.. thats jippY!

bigAl · 17-07-2007, 04:13 PM

if you crack into 10 seconds and dont have a ANDRA licence and your car isnt up to ANDRA standards for car doing 10.99 or less you can't use it, EG Roll Cage ect

Master G · 17-07-2007, 08:01 PM

Thats the plan and with the extra cold weather there has to be a few extra Rwkw in it ;)

The rules are that once you hit a 11 sec pass you must get a ANDRA license and once you hit a 10 sec pass you have to install a roll cage. I will be happy to get a timeslip with a 10 on it and be done with drags for my xr6t.

In comparing last weeks time slips and talking with a few higher end drag racing friends (6-7 sec ) cars, they say my last run was definitely a 10.8/10.9.. Talk about being ****ed at the fact WSID recorded everything on the timeslip except the ET and MPG. At least it gives me a chance to have another crack and with the colder weather and extra practice maybe a better time.

Dunno fellas, seems a bit too cold for me, I might give it a miss, plus cash is a bit tight.
And the heaters broken.
Either way good luck to all, and I hope to see a 10second slip posted here on thursday!

**Bluehoon** · 17-07-2007, 11:04 PM

Can't make it guys sorry.

Geoff, damn I hope you get that 10sec pass!!!!!

Start a thread up and let us know mate!!!

Good luck!
Cheers

Master G · 18-07-2007, 03:10 PM

bigAl · 18-07-2007, 03:42 PM

Good luck tonight mate, let's see you bring home that 10sec pass:eclipsee_

Grum · 18-07-2007, 03:52 PM

We might need to make a special Bseries sticker for members who have been banned from a dragway!

J_Tank · 18-07-2007, 03:56 PM

That'd need to be a V8 sticker wouldn't it...?

Grum · 18-07-2007, 04:10 PM

WOOHOO, CONGRATULATIONS

Well done, and what an awesome effort. All the work and effort has paid off!!!!!

Top notch credit to Auto-tech too. 10 Sec full street trim car is commendable effort.

Ruger · 18-07-2007, 09:55 PM

Congrats to the MASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome effort full street trim and a 10 second pass complete with stereo trim and all the gear street driven street legal. honest street car! im certain this car can match if not better the record for quickest T in oz if the effort was put into it as a pure race car

Geeseman · 18-07-2007, 10:01 PM

Well done to Geoff.
Considering that Geoff isn't a seasoned driver, it's even a greater testament to the greek adonis at Autotech. With an experienced driver behind the wheel the car would make low 10s easy.

The message did say that there is more in it.i think Geoff may well pull off a mid to low 10 second 1/4 tonight.The temperatures are on his side.

**Bluehoon** · 18-07-2007, 10:32 PM

Stav, will WSID let him run again???? They usually don't.

Geoff may have to go to Heathcote now for anymore racing....

Cheers

Geeseman · 18-07-2007, 10:36 PM

I was there with him. The car does have more in it.
They asked him to retire for the night after the run

What mph Geeseman? A shame he couldnt do one more run but he may need a roll cage.
