Its died off a lot now though, used to be cars parked up for a hundred yards down both sides and massive crowds and continual racing, but now there is cctv its a case of meet up somewhere else, then all head over there, have a quick race, then leg it
As Rich said, used to be worth travelling for, but these days you can spend the whole evening waiting and nothing actually happen!

You know it !! Always worth a giggle & you don't really know how quick ya car is till you plot it agains't something !!
What both Chip & Rich said bout the Mile is spot on, most weeks nothin happens, I haven't ventured down there for a couple months cos nothin happens. Then got the txt yesterday & it was on !!
I knew I'd loose like Chip said, but hey hoo. Gonna give it another go real soon, knocked the fuel pressure down 1 psi and fittin me boost controller tomorrow, so Chip, if your about at all can we have a repeat wit the Wideband ?? I got some Det Cans but if you got some you could bring ?? Plus your'd prob hear it better cos the screamer pipe's right next to me window

Fucking hell, that video really does show the difference, makes your car look fucking slow by comparison, and your car is a QUICK car to most folk, very impressive skyliner that.
From where me and Rich were stood you go beat fair and square, from where that video was taken it makes it look like you werent even racing!
Fair play on not giving a million excuses or claiming some reason why he didnt really beat you etc like a lot of people, takes a proper geezer to just admit he got done fair and square
Takes nothing away from your car though, just shows how things have moved on.

Bottom line is a rwd cossie road car that you like to arse about it and want to do trackdays in, just isnt going to compete with a 4wd drag orientated sykline.

Indeed Chip, but if you read JB's youtube comment it says 100 bhp more soon, which is the wrong way of doing things. Proper beam and semi slick tyres will help as would a decent diff. But essentialy you are correct. No rwd cossie stands an eartly against that skyline.

Wont make ANY difference at all at the point they were stood videoing that, as he still had more power than traction at the point he went past them anyway.
Might make a big of difference from a rolling start though

It was a HELL of alot closer than you think when we was rollin up there, both in 3rd. Yes he pulled on me, but jesus you could ONLY jus notice it !!
Faster car, end of tho lol
Chip,
Your absolutely sopt on in whatcha sayin fella !!
Yeah, no point in even tryin to blag my way outta it cos I'd only be kiddin myself @ the end of the day & this is only the 2nd time I've ever been beaten fair & square since I've had this cossie !!
Spendin mega bucks on a diff & beam isn't really on the options list tho as I can't afford it really wit a family, can't warrant it & for what the car was built for, doesn't really fit in.
The car was built as a cheap toy to have fun in !!
So rules out the Mustange Axle option too & also with fittin that I would be sayin this car is a 1/4 mile car, nothin else really, when that couldn't be further from the truth !!
Yeah got roughly another 100hp to come once it's been fully mapped & sorted out by Tony, won't help much agains't a drag car in a drag race tho !!
Oh Chip, I found my throttle body was jus bout hangin on wit all the bolts vibrated loose !! You should feel the torque now, I'd set the boost controller to 1.7 bar, tightened that & booooom !! 2.15 bar !! She fookin flew tho !!
Backed it down to about 1.9 bar now & shit is she quick !!
