So went to the drags tonight. Pretty unimpressed with my time, but I guess thats to be expected.
First run, lets figure out what she'll do. Shabby launch gives me a 2.3 seconds 60' and I net a 13.810 @ 100.33mph
Second run, an almost shabby launch and i select 3rd with the shifter in neutral. SIIIIGH NOT AGAIN. After a few phone calls (dougt <3) and one of the boys from work coming down with some tools (thanks Greg!) we pull the 3-4th spring out, pop it out of gear, put it all back together again and roll back out to the strip.
Next run was my "best" of the night, netting a 13.7 @99.88 MPH, with a 2.129 60' time. 4th run was shabby and i launched at too low an RPM and rolled out a whopping 14.8
I used some of the
internet calculators my 100mph and 2710lb weight works out to a roughly 13.8 quarter mile, so 13.7 is "ok" I guess?
Currently the car weighs approx 1150kg, I'm another 80+ on top of that. It ran 190 something HP on the ASG hub dyno with the Legacy GT 5 speed in it, haven't had it on since the dog box went in. The
short ratios of this gearbox saw me crossing the line at
6000rpm in 5th , so clearly its not made for drag racing
here is my best run, the 13.7
