i wish i just had a car i could roll up to the lights in and all i had to worry bout was the accelerator...would make life a bit simpler...lol

would also be good if some of you more experienced racers were there to lend some tips to a certain crap XR8 driver (me) lol....oh and maybe the other one.......(jo)..........

the only part i would beat you in swan would be the top end. other than that unless i can produce a miracle and take my 60ft times from 2.6 to 2.1 like you then i would say that i cant crack into the 13's....

my launching is what kills me....:(

was also running an open pod filter and it was a hot day so i woulda been sucking in heaps of hot air... i dont have that problem now, and i also have wider rubber with tread on now lol....

what ya tryin to say :jab: i know how ta drive lol. and stop making excuses on your times

: ;)

Tractive effort is higher with your existing wheels than the 205/50 16 wheels and tyres i gave Jason ??( if they are the 14.4 specials ??)
Aaron drove away from me when i had my 19's i can gaurantee you the reverse would take place with my 16"s (alloys fitted).
in fact he will run a 13.8 with my rims on !!
Timeslips prove this ...
Steel rims are heavy and narrower and will stuff up your ABS and SCM because of the different dia front to rear !!!
Be warned .....
Ba ,s can turn traction control off on the dyno but i am unsure about stability control on the BF ??
Have you got the O2 sensor issue sorted ?

joe260 · 05-06-2008, 09:43 PM

anything i can borrow of anyone ;) lol

XTC 190 · 05-06-2008, 10:06 PM

14.2, just to clarify

Just think if we could get 15's on

Never had any probs with the Abs and stuff with different height wheels, Bf may be different unsure on that

Sorry, i was told that run was on slicks ??
My bad , BF is way different... Hopefully they have the same buttons i do ....Gonna snoop around when Aaron gets here....

You can get 15"s on , have a watch of the Ford Forums National's Footage ..., Real slicks fit easy.
Thats how i destroyed my 4.11s !!

JO , did Vic contact you ??

that would be awesome!!! somehow i dont think it will happen. i know i said i had more in my car.... but 13.8's untuned???? i dont know about that.

powerbulge · 06-06-2008, 12:42 AM

Well I will be definitely up for a run on Wed. I have my car booked for an exhaust job. I'm getting a twin 2.5" system cat back with quad tips. Can wait!

Dazz you said something a little while ago about looking for some slicks and finding out the smallest rim you can fit on the xr8 ute. I'm still interested.
Also I didn't think about the traction/stability control system being affected by the smaller dia rear wheel. But will turning off traction control be enough to stop any issues? Bf does have a button to turn it off.

Must have been a killer burnout

Yes turn it off that is fine...
Give BLUEPOWER a call mate , Chris will advise you what is needed after all he runs 10.0s at over 140 mph with a 8" slick

TUF270 · 06-06-2008, 08:56 AM

im going to get anihilated by everyone.....including probably stock Yaris if one happens to turn up....lol.....starting to think my car sucks.... :(

Yes I forgot to turn off the traction control on the first run.....I couldn't workout why I couldn't keep the rears spinning!!!!

:
But for the next three runs I remembered.

I was tired last night when I was replying to the post. What I was referring to was turning off traction control with smaller dia rear rims, as I was considering buying a smaller sized rim with slicks.

Neoxr6 · 06-06-2008, 10:00 AM

no not yet i would like a pic of the exhaust side of a Bf please. i can only see 1 o2 sensor. i think they might have got rid of the other one. I would like some proof before i go back to them.

Thanks
