Finally we have been down the quarter

XR-ENVI · 31-03-2007, 09:37 AM

We didnt think it would ever happen but last night we finally got the car on the track.
The back was lifted and is now sitting at 4WD status, the rear wheels went from 19" to 15" rims and we were ready to go

We had a few problems boosting it and the tranny was playing up, so it will be off for an upgrade

The first run of the night scored a 11.8 at 118mph and we we pretty stoked with that but with a MPH of that much hopefully when the tranny is sorted things will be better

That is a great time for your first time at the track .

So who did the driving ?? did you both have a go ??

I am guessing it was the Red Dyno-mite ute? It is out there most weeks or it is when I go! Runs 11's.

1st pic looks awesome, best combo of 15s & 19s ever :P

yeah that was the one, but he cant go back anymore till he has a roll cage, ran a 10.9 last night. Was that you there last night??? you ran good times too, if it wasnt you then there was a yellow phoon there with an 8 bonnet doing good times, think it was running high 11's.

XR-ENVI · 31-03-2007, 04:31 PM

our brother in law drove the car.....at 200ks and with slicks there is no way id be running it!!! i a m a whimp at that speed, but i am quite happy to give it a bit on the road (within the speed limit of course), just not a those types of speeds

Congratulations on the times from your car!

I have stuffed it again, I haven't changed my avatar! It was probably the car in my avatar but alas it is not mine! I drive an "enemy" vehicle! I know the owner of the yellow car as he is on this forum! G&D F6, I think is his logon now! I have driven it but not in its current state, it is a bit of a rocket.

Congrats Narelle, 11.8 is a excellent time even better for 1st time out.
What was your 60 foot time?
You may have to get a edit on the transmission to ran a half decent stall converter for good launching.

**Stav** · 01-04-2007, 10:31 AM

Congratulations..nice times..

Not exactly sure what is going to be done, leaving it all up to Preston Automatics who have a fix for the problems, an update to the one we already had done. The 60ft time wasnt too good because of the probs with the tranny....1.77. we have holidays in two weeks so will take up then
cheers

im not really sure, i just know that my brother in law was not happy with it, something to do with the boosting off the line and changes etc thats why th tranny si getting another overhaul so he can boost it off the line better

Did the Ute that run 10.9 was it a Manual?

XR-ENVI · 01-04-2007, 07:25 PM

the red ute was auto, couldnt run again due to roll cage rules

01-04-2007, 10:01 PM

good stuff narelle, done a great job

justa6 · 02-04-2007, 06:09 PM

nice time, what size tyres were they, and how do e series rims go fitting under it

XR-ENVI · 03-04-2007, 12:32 PM

the tyres were 8 inch slicks i think and as you can see in the pics the offset was a bit wrong but they did alright, trying to find a set of au/ba/bf offset rims in a 15" that will clear the breaks but tried my dads au 15" spares they didnt fit, so may have to stick witht he e-series...........our other car has the same rims on it so maybe we could put the slocks on the wagon for a laugh
