few photos from Woodbridge…….

Quite a fast track and the car did very well.

Struggled a lot with traction in most of the corners and a LSD is now my main priority I reckon I’d have gained 2/3 seconds a lap if I had one fitted.

Coilovers were on hardest setting and I need to raise the front by 15/20mm as it’s a tad too low as the third picture shows !

Soarers looking good there dave, ive got the 3g discs on mine, found the goodridge hoses make a big improvement as well for quite a small price, an worth it if you've not got them

can recommend a good product if you want to change that baby poo colour interior as well ;)

What age is your car? if its pre 94 then you can fit a decat pipe without worrying about refitting it for the mot, and do a bfi on the intake with a k&n panel filter, that may make it a little bit more growly but not to noticable, fit a fuel cut defender and a manual boost controler and run it up to 15psi, that should give you about 300 odd bhp give or take a bit with no visable differences outside an just a little louder! will cost 250 ish,

it would also be an idea to change your fuel filter and run some fuel system cleaner through to help it run as it should.

Without doing the exhaust you wont make the most of any other mods, you could change the exhaust downpipe, but cant say what difference that'd make, and just depends how much you want to spend, you can get some jdm supratt 440 injectors, which are a direct fit, walbro 255lph fuel pump, emanage, cams, a front mounted intercooler would be a good addition but is very visable, its possible you may be able to get a uprated sidemounted intercooler! just depends how much you want to spend an what you ultimately want from it!

Always thought twas 270 bhp

nah def 280 mate,

not been round in a while, u still got ur tt then?? done much to it since brunters??

steve

basically nope, the 2.5tt is/was 280 never heard of any standards being over, althought its not to hard to get it up to over the 300 mark.

the 4ltr was 260bhp an think the 3ltr was 225ish

i think the v8's have different mounts, to the others, but not 100% certain

ET is the elapsed time, top 1 is 60foot time, bottom 1/4 mile, neither times include reation time as your timed from when you start moving, although quite often on a time slip you'll also get your reacion time.

you should have stayed.............think you'd have one the fastest Lexus !

Bugger! if only id ignored my homeward calling! altho probabaly would of felt guilty if id won as technically its a toyota, and envy's sup beat me easily! :D

have we made a list of times??

i done 13.55 @ 105 :)

good thing with an auto is you dont have to worry about the gear change thing!

Met office's website says its gonna be cloudy / sunny but most importantly should be dry :D

Well got ticket, got helmet, al i need now is a map an ill see you all sunday! Looks like it'll be a good day :)

well would of got my ticket today, but instead its sat at the post depot that only opens at stupid hours

Might be able to get it on sat!

simon sorry you cant make it, what did u fail on?

do we know how many have signed up for 1/4's so far?

experiment

Hi there, cant see it being the fuel pump as the 2nd stage doesnt kick in until its being booted, there is a way to test it tho, if u put a paper clip in 2 of the jumpers in the diagnostic port in the engine, it'll make the pump run in the full mode (altho cant remember which jumpers they are at the mo! will try and find out),

if you've double checked that the belts lined up, im not to sure what else it could be, but then im sure some1 mechanically minded will be along soon :)

stop

Well have paid for 1/4 mile, and looks like the track places have sold out now!

Do we need helmets for 1/4 mile? or is that just for the track use?

Whats the speed limit in the Outback.........?

No Limit ?

Depends on which state, northern territory has no speed limits on most roads outside of urban areas, bu the problem is the distance between petrol stops, so prob wouldnt be a good idea to be caning it all the way ;)

I imagine that for a lot of cars you'd be able to get a kit to change it to kmh like you can get at the moment to convert kmhs to mphs dash kits

steve

i tunes uses a m4p format (or something) which im under the impression that only it an the ipod can use (havent heard of anything else that'll use it) using i-tunes to write it as a music disc an then re-ripping it (to your desired format) does work, but my friend had probs rewriting over the same disc again afterwards even tho it was a re-writable disc

that was the only way we found of doing it, so you may need a few blank discs!

if you've got a jap import car your more likely to notice the diff, as the ecu is mapped to be running on 100ron fuel that they have over there, so the ecu will more likely be retarding the timing for standard british fuel, so optimax, or an octance booster, can only be a good idea, Especially if your giving it a bit of welly/track use etc :)

if tis cold enough to freeze the windows its normally cold enough to freeze the water in the washer jets, so by the time the water heater had melted that, your aircon would be well on the way to de-frosting the windows, in my opinion it wouldn't really be worth it, just a thought
