Hemanhead Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 (edited) Mr competitive, does yours do corners too or just straights. Yes? But who cares about corners, I live my life a quarter mile at a time. Edited March 7, 2017 by Hemanhead (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 Looking good Luc Thanks Andrew. looking forward to a race now Luc, hope you resolve this little issue. Lee was confident that would be the issue ... and Ryan confirmed. I'm in for a race Zach ; I just won't do 1/4 miles .... my Supra is not setup for that .. and the stress on the drivetrain is too much. I would have to upgrade other parts as the 800+ ftlbs would risk to break things. Let's go for a 60-180 mph race. Mr competitive, does yours do corners too or just straights. Si ... I defo won't challenge you around the Ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was thinking about upgrading the driveshafts, i guess that would be the last link in the puzzle. We will probably have a boring race mate, same turbo . Still looking forward to having a spin with you again though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, Lee said that for standing launches, a stonger diff cover should be done too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxluc Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 (edited) I haven't update for a while now. My Supra ran faultless for the last 2 years. After a great result in 2016, I participated in the 2017 German rolling race championship. During the first event, I did first in my class (800-1000 bhp) and overall winner, with 296.24 kph (185.15 mph) after 1000 meters During the finals, I had a great field of supercars in my class ; 23 cars .. from 950 bhp Porsche to 980 bhp Mercedes, 950 bhp Audi RS6 and 980 bhp GTR. At the end, I did 3rd place (298.57 kph / 186.61 mph), close behind behind the 980 bhp GTR (299.98 kph / 187.41 mph) and 990 bhp Porsche (299.93 kph / 187.33 mph). All my opponents were impressed ... as I was the only one changing the gears manually and with RWD. Massive thanks to the SRD team. The Supra will go back to SRD in 2 months : VVTI stage 4+ head, hypertune manifold, Syvecs S6 plus.

jagman Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I think for top speed type events your aerodynamics is hurting your terminal speeds , drag increases at a square of the speed and the last 200 meters speed is high , a few small changes and speeds would increase - its much cheaper and easier than chasing horsepower . I expect theres 5 mph in those wing mirrors alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
