Took my F6 racing tonight

[Xtreme F6]

Well i hit the plex tonight with my F6, First run

2.18 60ft
12.63 117 mph

Second run

1.93 60ft
12.33 120 mph

Third run

2.19 60ft

12.6 120

After my second run it rained and an oil down so by my third the track had gone off a little, car just spun bad . so home we went

Overall im fairly happy, Before i went down i gave it a quick run on the dyno with my street map (slightly detuned for everyday use) and it made 840 nm @ tyres and 373 rwkw's, so the car ran lovely didnt seem to hurt anything SO alls well.

Manuals with stock clutches and street tyres with lotsa power makes for a hard times lol

Mate good efffort must be a handfull being a manual and all that grunt, that mph wow!
How did the ripshifter go not bad hey.

[Xtreme F6]

thanks buddy yer the shifter feels good, its just trying to get the wheels to grip thats the hard part lol.

[sbcb]

Impressive daily driver!!

[PhantomXR8]

Top stuff Simon, you gotta love the Aussie I6. Your next project should be to convert these rear drivers to all wheel drive, it wouldn't be too hard for someone like you. The Falcon I6 will then show it's true potential, put the Skyline GTR back in it's box. You could actually develop the best 6 cylinder in the world buddy, you're not that far off. Between you and Chris you guys are leading the way when it comes to performance Fords hey! It all started with your GTP, now look what you've done......

[xr8ute]

Thats bloody impressive on street rubber (and stock clutch!!), shame about the oil down. What tyres exactly?

Well done Simon

[CAMS290]

[galaxy xr8]

Yeah top stuff mate, great MPH, show's it has the grunt.

thanks guys, it was a fun drive.. the tyres where those toyos r1's

[XRQTOR]

I wwould of thought with that much grun you would have been running low 12's on street tires. Either way it's an impressive result for it's first visit.

[Xtreme F6]

they are street tyres. I doubt it would have been spining all first 3 gears if they wernt. as power goes up as does the inability to get a car down the track.

Yes I agree simon, that something that some people tend to forget sometimes. They hold off going to the strip till they get more power, then they do and record a shyte time as all they do is wheelspin. Practise alone can gain 0.5-1 second depending on what your 1st effort was then you have to adapt to launches etc when you do more mods

Ya right there Rodders every major mod Ive had eg. tyres,new tune,diff gears etc I had to learn to adapt to the different characteristics of each mod as almost like learning the car over and over again to many mods at once brings on many variables and you have to learn all of them to make your car go quick, all at once make the task a bit daunting one at a time is alot more managable and understand each mods characteristics alot better.

stock clutch but with different clutch disks :

[Cobra]

Why would you replace the stock clutch anyway? What advantage would you get? Those AP racing clutches are top shelf products I hear.

While they are a very nice unit, FPV opted for the cast heavy ans sin pressure plate instead of the nice light billet one... thats prolly the only real reason for changing

and i can back up that on the 12.3 run, the car looked mental on the track- as i said to you simon i am hardly surprised you went home after that!

and with an australian record too, no less, well done! see you there this week?

wasnt quite there for the record i think its 12.1 @121, but close... it will be there soon enough.. think ill try after a big meeting when the track is up for it.

[SpoolMan]

I think 12.01 by the big H/P Nizpro car, i was told it had there 1000 H/P Turbo (engine dyno) when it went 12.01...

nah it was a stock f6 car with there kit on it and 400 rwkw :

[jimt3te50]

you must of taken off before they announced you had set the record- either that or they got it wrong, because they did say it was the new record for a manually shifted something or other.....

[Xtreme F6]

lol well i better get down there quick and set it.... That is until nizpro get there ute down there and kill me

A silver typhoon race's at wizard and runs 11.8's all night.

[Falcon Coupe]

Shouldn't the MPH be over 130 with 373 rwkw ? i'm not knocking the effort, just curious.

[RapidTypLady]

Well done Simon, thats some impressive MPH

Would have loved to have seen your baby down the track. Got to let some people know Simon next time.

Fantastic! :eclipsee_

really? whos is that one, have never heard of it

well that depends. Is 373 rwkw's going to push a 4000 pound manual shifted street tyred car down a quarter in 130 mph... Not according to my calcs... It would need more like 500 rwkw's. big difference between 373 and 500. There is a huge difference between a auto shifted car and a manual. Considering my wifes XR6T runs 114 MPH with only 270 rwkw's and an auto.
