thanks. matt

[MR_LON]

made it out there today to see if there was any difference in the car with the extra mods on, IC, CAI & CATBACK. the weather was a bit dodgy & there was a diagonal head wind 30+ km/hr.
there wasn't many people there so i managed to get 12 runs in 3hrs.
i improved my previous time by 4 tenths...
my runs

1; 14.807 @ 99.86
2; 14.404 @ 101.55
3; 14.589 @ 101.06
4; 14.164 @ 101.36
5; 14.519 @ 101.76
6; 14.605 @ 101.16
7; 14.055 @ 102.58
8; 14.329 @ 101.75
9; 14.721 @ 97.85 i used 5th gear on this run to see if it was better or worse
10; 14.045 @ 101.58
11; 14.691 @ 101.35
12; 14.473 @ 101.48

Excellent time, so close to the 13 sec bracket.....well done that's 1 quick XR5.
Is it custom tuned?

[MR_LON]

no it's just running 1 of the generic tunes from the flash tuner, i have a choice of 5 tunes but i didn't take it with me to swap them around. i ran the tune i use every day.
from other xr5's with similar mods it would be around the 160fwkw, haven't had mine on a dyno yet.

C&D Motorworks in Duke St Sunshine/Braybrook have an AWD Dyno Ron. Should call by and get a power run done. About $80 bucks mate, then you'll know what your putting out. You could do a run for each tune.

Pretty much flat 14. Thats GT territory. Excellent

Ron, get it tuned. When my car was flashed with generic tune it actually lost power.

mine definately has more power than stock, once i get around to changing the front half of the exhaust i'll have to get a custom tune

[JAKHMR]

Geezus Ron. Well done. Its no wonder i couldn't shake you off through the windy ones.
Thats a lot of poke you got there.

[XXRR-50]

Ron very fast car you've got there man, you sure can surprise a few V8's with those time slips, real pocket-rocket! What was your 60ft?

60ft timesaren't great, my best was a 2.2sec but the average was 2.5
fwd & single spinner gives a very small window of to get off the line well, one of the things on my long shopping list is a quaiffe lsd this will help heaps
