1/4 mile @ broken halfshaft

[diegom6]

Not well tuned, open cut exhuast 18-19 PSI and with lot of fear at the end (last two runs) didn't lunch so hard to avoid more broken pieces!

Best run was against the 180sx wich has Haltech and Holset HX35, was 12.10 ET.

In the other hand, he got "foul" at the launch but I was fine, even with 1-2 cars behind him waiting my green light, I caught him in 3th gear and finished with half hood over him :D His best ET was arround 12.38 or so.

Then, the WRX with N20, just killed me in the lunch, he was waiting me on "stage" and when I was preparing top rev and regulate the clutch pedal, got the lights sequence and lunched like shit, then I mis shifted 2th gear, end of story...

Looks crazy different than where I'm from and tracks around here lol.

Dad ass car man, what's with the people standing next to the cars while launching?

[diegom6]

I just edited, LAUNCH! Sorry sometimes my poor english doesn't dot it for me.

As you see the background are full of dunes and dust, that's a small airplane port and they rent us the track sometimes.

They hold the car to prevent use the hand brake in case the car starts to move forward a bit and go out of "stage" and yes, it's bit donwhill, but little. I can launch with my friend holding my car, but I prefer prevent it than happen. The fatstest cars (V8's RWD) aren't making the times they should at cause of traction, but this time, the launcg zone was covered with VHT and was better than other times.

Hopefully, by the next year will finish a track with a stright of 1/2 mile so who knows how it turns out.

Actually is 12.10 ET

Yes, sicne the car is a 325is model, I just putted that name...but yes, it's a 3.0L m20 stroked.

I'm switching to Haltech E11 right now, and if things goes well, I will boost up this bitch to 30 PSI and see what happens.
