Santa Pod Jan 31st
Anyone going from here? Will be my first time at a drag strip, just wanted any tips/hints.
I'm running a 98 STI mapped by Andy Carr. Running 1.2 bar and around 360hp (I think no dyno as of yet). Also what times should I be aiming for? Ash |
I'll be there, first RWYB date for 2016.
I'd imagine low 12s |

depends on tyres and pressures, launch and reaction, gear changes and keeping your cool.
id say low 13s.... |

Nice! I just watched your 11.4 or whatever but I see you have improved on that! Any tips on launching? I'm a bit apprehensive about ruining my clutch.
Drag racing is hard on your drivetrain, find me there and we can chat, there will be a good bunch of us there, and I'm not easy to miss. :lol1: |

I will add I also no longer have ~75+ kg of weight in the car. No rear seats, boot lining, door cards, roof cards spare tire etc etc!
edit* thought I do still have the rear spoiler. unfortunately for me the looks outweigh the fact it weighs a ****ton |

Bob ran 11.5 in a 340bhp classic. Think it was near full weight. High rpm launch though. |
Wrong

Good spot!
Some very varied times on the list, just goes to show the skill level needed to get the car to accelerate to it's true potential. I can't imagine how 10s must feel, it must be the greatest feeling in the world. Or scariest! I think a low 12 sec Lambo is the quickest car I've been in :( |
imagine being andy f....

I'll be there, never done 1/4 mile before so will be interesting. I had a look at the 1/4 mile leaderboard post on here and it appears power to weight + the driver make a lot of difference.
1 thing I am curious about is how the 6 speed uk box in mine will affect times as I believe I'll be in 5th over the line which is a lot taller gear than the 1st 4? Anyone else running a uk 6 speed in a classic that done it? |

I managed 11.7 with a tad over 400. 360 if given the beans should be in the 12s easy

bloody youtube app!

What power are you running Glanza?
I'm 340bhp, 375 lb/ft, 2.5 forged type r |
Pretty sure he's over 500bhp in those clips :thumb:
I might be going 6 speed soon and was contemplating a UK box so it'll be interesting to see how you get on with it. |
how long will it take getting there from blackpool? is there many going from the north west?

That's correct! I assumed theop was to have a 6spd too! I quite like the uk. Box in mine, it has a wanky 2-3 ratio mind, but you get used to it. For your power I wouldn't worry about using a uk box, however, if going to be using it like mine, do expect to break them, I've broken 2 now...
And why do jdm boxes carry such a premium over the UK boxes? The money I could save buying a UK box could go towards a nice new turbo :) |

Aren't the first 4 gears the same ratio in all 6 speed boxes?

blob on onwards jdm have dccd, 1:1 drop gears and shorter 5th and 6th

Something I've seen written/said in many places, but I dont know what it means. Does "terminal" mean the speed at which you/your car died, speed over the line, or max speed? Or something else?
Terminal speed is what you finish over the line at.... |

Unless you're in a wrx, where terminal speed is usually 60
|
How did everyone get on?
|
I didn't go. The forecast was for heavy rain/winds all morning till about 2... Dunno if it actually went ahead but it's a 3h drive to get there for me so I put it back till 14th
