finally 15flat down 400m

just did my 400m run on the last EXE drag day....



my best run was:
60ft: 2.3437 sec (i did 2.145sec on my 15.2sec run)
330ft: 6.3703 sec
660ft: 9.7352 sec @ 73.58 mph
1000ft: 12.6061 sec
400m ET: 15.0771 sec @ 108.88 mph

mod: AEM CAI, Draxas - modified 2inch primary + straight pipe, rear seat + spare tyre off, bridgestone RE070, mazdaspeed HD clutch, EXEDY flywheel....

i did 15.25, 15.12, and 15.07 that day.... was gonna go for my last run, aiming for 14.9 with a better 60ft

i think the MPH is wrong.... i cant be doing that fast and being only 15sec.... so dont worry about the mph....

race pipe... :)

well, following visage's advice and silver_slug path.... i custom made 2.5 mandrel bent race pipe....

and i had to put flange on my one piece 2.5 system to make it swapable for the drag and track day....

here it is...


its sticking out from the left hand side...


here is the connection from the whole system...


and got a make minor bent to avoid touching under body...


its sounds awesome!!!! and loud... lol... i think i'm gonna need ear plug on the next track day.... vroooooooooooooooooooooooooooom yeehaaaa

Rim whoring? :P

have tried 6 different secondhand 18inch inch wheels so far... none has enough clearance.... well, i know i can always buy a new one that fits... but dont want to spend that much....

now... finally get one that can fit my brake kit... its an rx8 wheels...

im gonna drive up to ACT to pick it up woohooo...

thx for missyK for dropping her rims to my place for test fitting.... i dont want to drive all the way to ACT to find out that the wheel dont fit... lol...



but then i decided not to get the RX8 rims (getting the 18inch from paul instead),

but now i need a lighter 17inch wheels for track....

my current 17inch is light but not that light.... then i came across this wheels... brought it brand new, cheap, on sale... its a Rota wheels... i chose gun metal center piece coz i dont really like the shape of the rims... so i thought dark colour might hide it abit...

i dont like the shape but it fits my wilwood brake and its light... oh well... i guess i can live with that.... this gonna be my track wheels...


and here is the pics with paul's CE28 style rims...
its not original but still very light... only 7.5kg each.... thx paul!

DYNO, 109.7kw atw! :)

just finish dyno at protek last saturday...

here are my current one... 109.7 kw - 17inch, AEM CAI, 2.5inch catback, 4-1 header, advanced ignition timing...



here my previous one with:
BLUE run: 18inch wheel, AEM CAI, 2.25inch catback, and hi flow cat - 98.8 kw
RED run: 18inch wheel, AEM CAI, 2.25inch catback, and race pipe (replace the cat) - 105.7 kw


this is my very first dyno... found it when i dug up my old dyno sheet...
BLUE run: 18inch wheel, De-restricted airbox, 2.25inch catback - 100.1 kw
RED run: 18inch wheel, AEM CAI, 2.25inch catback, and hi flow cat - 98.8 kw

i just realise the de-resticted airbox gives more max killowatt than AEM CAI.... oh well... AEM prettier.... hehehe jk... AEM CAI definitely have more advantage... if you notice... the AEM CAI gives way better and stronger curves across rev range... so max kw maybe a little bit lower... but across the rev range, CAI wins over de-restricted airbox....
