BA XR6T - 480rwkw+ - Currently @ 10.05. 9s knocking in Oct13

[braad]

lol....anyway.



Car is only on 22psi boost atm.

Dion does use the AMS. Has no trouble with em. They aint that hard. The problem is adjusting them to per track and testing.

He wants me to go to WSID. I said sure, once i get full slicks, front runners and drive shafts and maybe a few sneaky mods possibly later in the year cause if i go now, im sure they will snap.

I want to come to WSID if you go. Let me know

Come to WSID this saturday, Haley's Comet will be there, show you how the big turbo cars do it !

Whats running saturday? Night or day?

[Mr. CVE]

http://www.wsid.com.au/?m=events&a=event_page&id=231

Day and into the night

[braad]

Looks good but i wouldnt be able to get there until night. What time do they run until? Dont wanna rock up at 6 and they stop racing at 8.

Icer you should drag the car there

[iCER]

if i was to do the travel id want the car complete with this turbo setup with a few secrets. Not to mention aftermarket drive shafts, full slicks and front runners. As i said, maybe in 6 months once i get this silly 9 mission completed.

[Michael (HYPOEB)]

So many secrets lol anyone would think this is a top fueler comp car. It's just a a BA trying to run a 9 which so many have already done befor...

[iCER]

i only have one secret in this car. nothing fancy just to keep me ahead f the pack. Rest everyone knows everything!

[Mr. CVE]

i only have one secret in this car. nothing fancy just to keep me ahead f the pack. Rest everyone knows everything!

We know the secret... it's you !!

[Rollin]

i only have one secret in this car. nothing fancy just to keep me ahead f the pack. Rest everyone knows everything!

I'm still confused.....because other B/F series cars are running 9s and yours isn't...so...technically, it's not ahead of the pack

[Dumpsta]

But on the highway Rollin.

[iCER]

ye on hwy i meant.


But soon on paper too Think fastest street driven sedan b/f is CLINIC at 9.83 (multiple 9s) or something then the other 3 boys with 9.97-9.99. Full weight, street driven.

Would be nice one day to get there. But happy to be 2nd to that ...for now

[OMY-747]

By the time you get there someone else will be doing 9.5's

[braad]

Well if thats the record you want why not high mount and engineer it?

[iCER]

i run e85. Cant engineer it. I suppose i can put a cat back in and some 98 and retune.

Needs to crank 1st time unassisted or some shit for engineering. Costs like 4500$. If it fails even that, you lose $4500! If engineering was easy im sure anyone and everyone would do it.

But i run ET Streets 24/7 so no point really.

Might be able to do 9.83 with a 150hp shot and another little secret we will be implementing and full slicks setup at WSID. But aiming for any 9 at this stage lol Its been 11 years, noone has done better so not likley it will be beaten 'soon'. But again im happy to be second to it. Same workshop/tuner so its family!

I actually only found out yesterday that the car is now setup that i NEED to leave hard else the car WONT get traction. Took me a while to understand it but Dion explained it all. Abused me for leaving off low RPM. Said START at 10psi and 4k rpm....

Went on and talked about 'energy stored in shocks' and you need to 'shock the car' to get traction and some fancy terminology. I understood most so ye. Might explain why i was doing 1.69's and not 1.55s!

[nstg8a]

Do you run it in full street trim? Or strip it out?

There's a lot of unneeded weight n a b series if your hunting an elusive number.

[iCER]

car can run a 9 as it sits now. Just needs more experienced driver

Full weight as it sits on the street. No head light out ,no rear / passanger seat out, full aircon + p/steering, big brembos and 20" big heavy wheels. But no jack/tyre in boot.

[iCER]

also weighed it last week, 1740kg. With me in the car its 4022 lbs! tank!!!

[LOW_XR]

how much of that weight it your ego, though?

[Ef_frmnt]

Street driven, but not engineered or legal? Just another race car with plates

[BROCKYB8]

car can run a 9 as it sits now. Just needs more experienced driver

Why dont you do that and see how it goes .
Then you can say it has the potential to do a 9. And that is you who causing it not to go in 9s .
Im sure Dion will do it for you

[krisisdog]

Pretty sure Dion's had a crack. And no 9.

[iCER]

nah dion hasnt had a crack as the car is now.



brocky, over 140mph is 'potential' enough for a 9 isnt it?

Ef_frmnt, any car that has no engineer's cert is a race car with plates in your books? Pretty sure anyone who has something as small as injector change and tune falls in the same category. Wont pass epa. Any mod from factory is 'illegal' without engineering. So my 140mph BA is as 'legal' as your anything with any fluffy dice modifications.

[iCER]

Just fitted some stiffer rear shocks last night

[67rce]

Might pay to see where Ef_frmnt lives. Fairly sure we have a rather "tolerant" setup in QLD...

[iCER]

good ole QLD.

Well if you didnt know, 99% of cars in vic are NOT engineered. If they are, since their engineering cert, they have most likely adjusted/modified 1 small thing which would make it as invalid as not having one (easier to comply when required though to revert but still 'as illegal').

[Ef_frmnt]

Nit picking would mean any vehicle with an air filter that's been changed from manufacturers specifications could be EPA'd but I'm not trying to do that. All I'm saying is, if you got pulled up by the traffic cops and they stuck their head under, no cat, vent to atmosphere blow off valves, mismatched rims.. and whatever other mods are blatantly obvious and unroadworthy.

All things that take your car from being street registered, to just street driven (ie. chancing it every time it leaves the driveway)

[XR_Lightning]

Just fitted some stiffer rear shocks last night

Is that a scrivet holding the brake line bracket to the body???

[Mr. CVE]

brocky, over 140mph is 'potential' enough for a 9 isnt it?

Potential enough ?? is that the new bench racing internet talk ??

That means my car is good for sixes ! it has the potential, I'm gonna stop racing it now and call it a six second car.... as it has the potential !

[iCER]

my potential has facts behind it mr cve. BA - FGs proven to run 9s with 138mph. What magical fact do you have for your 6 claim?

i dont even know what a scrivet is, but i presume its better then my regular cable tie and ductape? (presume it the silver bracket on the body). Adds 10rwkw each side.

Ef_frmnt, i have no BOV, and no cat required with e85, and everythign else looks stock in my car (bar miss matched rims). I can drive through booze bus and if a cop pops the bonnet wont see anything fancy bar a plenum and air box that could pass as stock. Nothing over the top like alot of other cars pushing over 140mph

[Ef_frmnt]

Really? No cat is legal with E85 on the street..?

[needfordspeed]

Cat is still required with E85, unless you've had the emissions test done and it has passed they might engineer it but firstly I doubt it would pass and secondly it's probably a part of the ADR's that you must have a cat. To get the car engineered it needs to comply with the emissions ADR of the time it was manufactured (euro 3 for BA?)

As usual, I'm 100% confident your info is wrong....happy to be proven wrong.

[needfordspeed]

Btw there's a massive difference between a cop and the people who would sign off an engineers certificate, they know their stuff and will pick it all to pieces!

Street driven for sure, definitely not street legal.

And don't try have a go at Mr.CVE about any drag facts, he has got a lot of experience and actually knows a thing or two about drag racing!

[NUT347]

Lol just because a car runs the mph doesn't mean it can run the time.

Xrcist did 127mph, it runs 10s now.

Sick.

[EFFalcon]

For vehicles built after 1 February 1986,
or originally operating on unleaded
petrol, catalytic converters and
associated emission and engine control
systems of vehicles must remain
operational. (See 5(c) below.)

[iCER]

wasnt have a go at him as i am sure he has. Just stating the fact for that argument and claims.

say 127mph did actually run a 'low 10', whats another 13mph going to run theoretically? Ask anyone who knows anything about racing. 140mph is a 9 second pass in any car with a proper driver.

Needforspeed, never said my car is street legal. Just stating it is no more non street legal then 99% of all other cars.

Is there a difference in a car having all my modifications running 140mph down the track vs a stock EF dumped 95mm from the ground? Both get major defect. Value of the defect is worth the same.

[MAD]

You say "A cat is not needed for E85" like it's somehow legal.
Please inform us about how E85 somehow makes it magically acceptable to not run a cat.

I've seen an EL run an 8.7x in Perth. My car has the potential! The facts are there you can't dispute it.

[EFFalcon]

value of the defect is the same, cost to get vehicle roadworthy is substantially different
when you say 99% of all other cars, are you referring to all cars, or just those modified who participate in drag racing under the 'street legal' category as you put it.

[Dansedgli]

Can you start a new thread when you run a 9 so I don't have to keep reading this one?

[MAD]

I have a feeling he just want's the record so he can add another item to the excuse meter when he gets beaten on the hwy.

"It's done a 9, the car could beat you, if I get someone else to race you"

[iCER]

if i ever do dan i will, dont worry, it will be all over the interwebz

I was under the impression in VIC you didnt need a cat if you ran e85 as it is not unleaded fuel. Again either way, thats the least of my worries for an EPA.

"when you say 99% of all other cars, are you referring to all cars, or just those modified who participate in drag racing under the 'street legal' category as you put it."

When i say 99% i mean anyone who has modifications to their car. The other 1% have engineers certs that have made no other modifications since.

Bahahahaha!! Quoted for retardation!
