Test N Tune - Wed 27 May

[leebutts]

It was ok, I couldn't manage any quicker, even with ECU jiggery-pokery...

It got pretty slow by the end, I think if I'd had one more run I might have improved.

Here's my times for the night:

13.630@105mph (2.1 60ft)
13.629@102mph (2.1 60ft)
13.410@101mph (1.8 60ft)
13.576@103mph (2.0 60ft)

So as you can see, mph is fairly inconsistent. I'm right at the top of 4th near the finish line and I tried shifting to 5th on a couple of runs (I think the 2nd and 3rd). I was also still getting lots of clutch shudder no matter what I did

Thanks to James for still coming out even though he wasn't racing.

cheers

How did the video come out?

 

[Scubasteve]

Bit shaky was taken with my still camera, n i had to stop n start it cause i had very lil memory left on the card so i had like a minute worth of filming. Didn't help that the idiot beside u staged with his rear wheels and i had seen him/her do the same thing earlier in the night lol.

Did the HSV get a better launch than you Lee?
What did it run?

 

[Scubasteve]

It ran mid 14's

 

[leebutts]

Did the HSV get a better launch than you Lee?

Yeah, I had lots of wheelspin...

 

[pu-11-me]

Yeah, I had lots of wheelspin...

DO A SKID!!!!

Cooler temps make for lots of wheelspin unfortunately

Get some better tyres and wheel spin in 4wd gone...

Get some better tyres and wheel spin in 4wd gone...

I've got good tyres, they're 225/45/17 potenza adrenalins. It was 5k+ launch

The fact that they were stone cold probably didn't help things...

 

[frozen]

ive got yokahama advan sports 235/45/18 or something along those lines and i get a heck of a lot of spin at 5krpm launch... not 100% on what size tires but something close to that.. 8inches wide rims..

 

[naughtika]

Josh anyone would be able to do wheel spins even at 3000rpm, as long as they know how to do it properly..

also Josh.. your tires are WAY over the specified wheel diameter.. hope cops dont get you..

 

[frozen]

nah christian i got the measurements wrong, probably 225/40/18 or something, i dont know for sure.. cant remember... i DID write it somewhere and do the calculations to find its like a couple of mm bigger, so almost identical to stock...

 

[naughtika]

if its 225/40R18.. then its just right.. what I would use for an 18" rim..

 

[Rasi]

5K+ launch.... I think I need the new clutch sooner rather than later... The stock clutch sucks... will probably get it done at the 100K service.

I was thinking of some Kumho KU36's and taking the car to the track and strip again.
