do they do dynos there??

Post by **Bipolar** » December 8th, 2008, 4:55 pm

Not unless someone's brought one along for an event. It's a only racing precinct.

thebeast. · Post by **thebeast.** » December 8th, 2008, 4:58 pm

then whats the test and TUNE??

Ef_frmnt · Post by **Ef_frmnt** » December 8th, 2008, 7:56 pm

anyone with any knowledge of their own car and the tools to do so can test the car and then TUNE it according to atmospheric conditions etc. the name is mostly for the DYO racers as they need to run consistent times. at a test and tune you could see anything from supercharged outlaws to VS commodores.

usually more of the latter unfortunately

but it gives us all something we can beat

Ef_frmnt · Post by **Ef_frmnt** » December 8th, 2008, 8:09 pm

ive only ever been beaten by one V6 commodore it was a white supercharged VN up the sunny coast. it was actually pretty fast and didnt look all carbonfibred up

You should go one time. I took my car when it was an auto with a cat back. ran a 16.5 haha. It was still heaps of fun

Plus one, except I got a 16.3. Slowest of that night was over 19.

Im dissapointed by my times, i havent run slower than 15.5 or faster than 14.7...

Post by **edfairmont4.0** » December 9th, 2008, 3:36 pm

what are you running at the moment dude?

67rce · Post by **67rce** » December 9th, 2008, 5:29 pm

I've gone 14.7 in the XR8, but hoping 255's + Lokka = faster

Anyone every had any experience with a G-tech? A mate of mines got one, he ran a low 14 in a ba fairmont, apparently the meter is within 0.001 seconds or some crazy figure, seems impossible that a accelerometer can be so accurate, I borrowed it one weekend, on probably my 2nd best launch I ran a 16.3 but then a 16.5 coming back. Just wondering if anyone else has used them or got one? My brother also has a mobile with a accelerometer in it and he was telling me that they are releasing a program so that he will be able to do 1/4 miles on his phone.. wth?!

thebeast. · Post by **thebeast.** » December 10th, 2008, 9:14 am

mine is so shit off the line tho.. like really shit, it doesnt have any guts till about 3.5k
doesnt even spin off the line

no money, how much did it cost you??

thebeast. wrote:no money, how much did it cost you??

$615 for the whole trans/clutch assembly/console/gear boot/pedal box/ everything
plus $25 for a spigot bearing,

and about 9 hours work doing it, lol

Post by **edfairmont4.0** » December 11th, 2008, 10:41 am

get some 4.11s is cheaper and very easy

I paid $380 for my gears to be supplied and fitted.

thebeast. · Post by **thebeast.** » December 11th, 2008, 3:15 pm

bloody hell that sounds alright. did it make a big difference

Post by **edfairmont4.0** » December 11th, 2008, 3:28 pm

**** yes it did. but my engine is more suited to shorter gearing its worked as ****....although ive run a stock motor with 4.11s before and it hauled ass... just had an exhaust+extractors.

thebeast. · Post by **thebeast.** » December 11th, 2008, 3:38 pm

did it change ur 0-100, spin of the line??

Post by **edfairmont4.0** » December 11th, 2008, 3:41 pm

0 - 100 changed ALOT now its 6.2 seconds on a hot day... was around 8 seconds before bit less. It spins when it wants to....sometimes it spins sometimes it launches... the stock engine spun off the line every time.. id say more torque down low but no where near the pull up top.

Post by **edfairmont4.0** » December 11th, 2008, 3:42 pm

I would say 4.11s is almost as good as getting a 5 speed...
