anyone done a 1.9 60ft fwd?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i no a couple of people has done some if so what spec ect?

whats engine? turbo? bodied? box and diff and tyres??

 

Spanishfly did at TOTB didnt he

 

think so just trying to get a jist of other makes aswell

 

FWD Ford 60fts usually hover around the 6.9sec area.

 

Why Chris ?

The Key is tyre choice and heat in the tyres at the start.

I ran as close to a 1.9 with a 2.004 (around that) with Yoko A539 and a F18 quaife LSD, stock xe and 100 shot of gas with zero build time. I also ran rose jointed tie bars to try and keep things as tight as possible.

Gaz'd has ran a 1.9 60ft in his Corsa on the Goodrich tyres he uses iirc.

Fit some proper rubber, do a proper burnout and you should run a 1.9.

Its not rocket science but to improve on a 1.9 is going to cost a few quid or put you into the wrong category if you are competing with slicks.

 

 

I can only do a 2.3sec best with rwd

Steve.

 

And then your diff fell to bits

 

ive done 2.08 at pod on road tyres in my frst 1.6 and T2 turbo running a bar

 

Thats impressive mate

 

thanks mate, wish i could work out my 60ft time from the times i got at totb qualifiers where i felt i launched well using R888s, they are in metres

 

any chance someone could work it out pls??
thanks
gav

 

I run 2.2 on slicks but an open diff and about 2.4 on yoko A008s



Oh thats with 120bhp too

 

Fly in his nova
Andy in his corsa

 

i ran a 2.028 on a539's doing a 2nd gearburnout.

i have parada spec 2's on now in 16", im bak at the pod this weekend, not going to run a good time so just going to practise gearchanges, play with boost controll and practise launching

 

Bitch

Steve.

 

Was running 2.1's on my old Fiesta when its was doing mid 13's but have no records of the 60ft on the 12.9sec run or dead 13's I ran after

 

It was going so well prior to that too

Chris - Thats near enough identical times to mine then except I always done 3rd gear burnouts

Best of luck this weekend, dont go blowing it up ffs

 

I got 1.9

 

Thats really really good considering the surface

 

i remember you beat me off the line at central day 2006, quick little fiesta you have there

 

Its been so long I cant remember although I found a video here from TOTB II which showed 2.2 secs....alot of practice needed.

 

Yes especially on that surface

 

GavStyli 60 ft is 18.3m so you need to be looking at your times after the ones measured at about 14 m but before the 28m ones.

if you plotted the figures on a graph you could get a closer estimate, but it would only be an estimate.

but you can see that it's going to be well into the 2's anyway

 

Indeed, he is WELL over 2 just getting to 14m let alone 18

 

whats a good 60ft for rwd?


carl

 

For a cossie on a standard beam 2.2 seconds is a bloody good time sadly!


Danny B was doing 1.5 or 1.6 though no doubt on his mustang rear end.


My mate Mick does 1.5/1.6 in his vauxhall viva



On the other hand, my mate johnny does under 1 second in his pro-mod, so it really does depend what sort of RWD car you mean?

 

If you mean good like a 1.9 is good for a road legal FWD (its awesome really), then 1.6.

 

2.2 ! fook me I'd of thought you could do loads better than that tbh.

I could never get a 1.9 60ft but I never used anything better than ditchfinders or yoko a539's which aren't exactly drag radials or even semi slicks.

Without doubt I would of pissed a 1.9 with a sensible set of tyres and probably broke into the 12's too which would of been nice.

 

Chip do you think i could improve my 2.2 in the 335d?

Carl

 

With stickier tyres then yes of course.

 

#

so you dont think as stock they will improve?

after a re-map will it improve or is it just launching technique?

surely if FWD can get into the 1's then a RWD should be able to?

 

Why would its 60ft times improve without it gaining grip or losing weight?

 

my best was a 2.11 60ft time on my best run of 12.6 secopnds @ 115mph running on yoko a539's

hoping to better that now im running the r888

 

Pretty respectable times there all round mate

 

my best was a 2.1 in a fat arse focus rs running about 290bhp crossed at 13.6 @ 104mph! with a bit of practise i think i could have got a 2.0.

That was on pradas

Crowds.

 

cheers fella, although with the better tyres low 12's 'should' be achievable along with the new adjustable front arms to finally set up castor and camber

 

You need to be pulling 1.7's to run a 10 or 11

 

Gaz'd has run 11.9 in his corsa with a 60ft of 2.0 and 11.8 on a 1.9

 

What car you refering to?

Ive seen a 10.1 from a 2.8second 60ft on a road car!
