That couldn't help...

Tornado · 05-02-2005, 05:30 PM

I have some pics that I will post.
Just as soon as I fix these bloody servers that I have just been paged about.

I wouldnt mind knowing either.

Sounds like you guys still must have had a great day despite the varying figures.

FRDGAL · 05-02-2005, 06:10 PM

I had a great time! I had alot of laughs and the atmosphere was VERY welcoming. Everyone was so friendly and easy to get along with. I walked up to quite alot of people to introduce myself and chat to and all of them were more than happy to have a conversation and a good laugh. Thanks to everyone for an awesome day!!

About my figures - well I think most people saw how upset and shocked I was. Then I thought well ok let's forget numbers but well, you can understand if it does bother me a little. For the money I've spent, a 125.3 figure just isn't good enough. As soon as I get my sheet, I will go and sort this out!

Again, thanks to all. I'm glad I finally got to put faces to names. Thanks to all the organisers. And to everyone that ran, congratulations on your figures

au-steve · 05-02-2005, 06:18 PM

dont be sad, think about how much of an improvement over stock it is, and how much better it is to drive. not a waste of money at all!

Tornado · 05-02-2005, 06:19 PM

I have posted the pics I took.
There's not a great deal there, but I guess its better then nothing.

au-steve · 05-02-2005, 06:21 PM

I don't do it on purpose, I just take random shots.
I promise I will take heaps the next time I see it.

Thanks for the pics

buickman · 05-02-2005, 06:30 PM

Great day and some real nice cars parked out the front. V8 capri's BA ghia certainly sounded revvy.MYTE8 just shy of the 200kw a real cheese of plus a real nice car to boot.
I can say my figure of 123kw was higher than I really expected with just a set of pacemaker ph4499 headers & safeway ( caltex premium fuel ) running ultra rich. Only have done oil & filter changes every 5k and coolant change the last two years. So in time I will get a tune on it

Dyno days are a great place to put names to faces and get the excitment going a bit.The numbers vary from dyno to dyno .Last month I got 109 rwkws on a dyno,3 days later 141.1 rwkws on another so dont worry.I think that dyno was down by 9 rwks today.

XRated · 05-02-2005, 06:53 PM

I wish I had of been there earlier, but shite happens. I've got to say, those trophies (their engraving especially) looks A1! It looks like another great day once again thanks to the organisers and Hallam Performance. There should be more of them ;)

It seems my car goes against the norm, or does it ????

At the heathcote drags, it was very hot and all the veteran drag racers said their times were atleast half a second off, I was very happy with my first outing and managed a 14.2 on my first ever run. I can not compare it to anything as it was my first outing, but I am hoping that the times were out by .5, which means my car is good for 13.7 (yea... I wish)

Today at the dyno day, also my first time on a dyno, very humid conditions in the morning and the guys that have had their cars on a dyno are also saying that they are getting lower figures then they have had before, so if you are right about the 9kw difference, mines good for around 208rwkw :hihi:

Dez · 05-02-2005, 07:40 PM

sounds like a good day was had....good work

LG: you beat what you expected by 8kw!

dansedgli · 05-02-2005, 08:05 PM

Great Day! My new tyres have no grip!

Tornado · 05-02-2005, 08:05 PM

There is this thread aswell:

It was a great day, but once again I think the weather didn't let me get the best numbers that the car is capable of getting. It seems its always hot and humid when I test the car out, first Heathcote (35+), now the dyno day with its high humidity levels early on in the day.

I still had heaps of fun and am very happy with the numbers. The organisers did a great job and the kids cooks a mean snag

Casper · 05-02-2005, 08:19 PM

I'm not too sure how much the humidity effected todays results. It may have taken a few kw's off but I doubt it would have made a huge difference to most cars. I may be wrong though.

Herrod exhaust (HPC-coated headers, 2.5" stainless with high flow cat), XR8 snorkel, K&N panel filter and a Herrod HPC intake pipe. Stock cam and no chip. Oh, and a bit of factory-freakishness...

Good day guys, cheers to the organisers and sponsors! :sm_headba

yes, pulling 120rwkw dead stock before you even modded makes for a hell of a base line for us to catch

One of the best looking AU's there today too. Immaculate springs to mind.

Mark351 · 05-02-2005, 08:34 PM

Thanks Casper - still have a few visual mods coming, including getting those side skirts sorted, turf the hawk wing for a better one and some new wheels.

Yeah, will try and make it out to the drag day. Must practise my launches, plenty of empty road to do it here ...

Current wheels are the XR 17"s...

DivHunter · 05-02-2005, 09:21 PM

Great day, good fun.

Curse my 175kW engine
