Did the drags today best pass was a 15.3. Extreme traction problems at one end of the track then topping out at 89mph at the other end so not to bad considering.

having such low profile tyres will be reducing your final drive ratio too.
Still, 15.3 isn't a bad effort for a 1st day out.

Im keen for some bigger wheels and a locked diff! I was launching in 2nd gear to because starting in 1st would just result in wild wheelspin.

Couple of updates got my turbo reconditioned, stopped some of the smoke but not all so think my rings are poked. Will probably rebuild my spare engine at some stage. Locked my diff with the help of dan and put some new tyres on my ssr mk3s to save my good ones. 155 60 13s stretched onto my 6.5 inch wheels. Couldnt get one to bead so we sprayed engine starter in it and i lit a trail. Exploded the tyre onto the beads. Badass. :fire:
