Default 13.80 HR my 2nd time in the track! updated** 3rd time 13.74

hiii!! i just came from the drag, we had an open drag day at Bahrain!

its like 28 degrees

my 1st run was 16 something because i launched the car with 2.5k rpm!! too much slip!!

my 2nd run 14.2 lunched the car with below 2k rpm!!

3rd run i removed my spare tire! launched the car with 1.5K Rpm!! little bit spin but better than the above runs!! i got 13.80 i was soooo happy!!

my car almost stock!! only CNT resonated test pipes and k&n drop ins and i removed the middle resonator from the exhaust.! my tires where 295 toyo proxxes with ce28 wheels

my 4th run!! reduced the tire pressure to 35 PSI!! had a great launch!! even my friend told me it was my best launch!! when i shifted second the clutch slipped!!!! so i had to remove my foot little bit !! then pushed it again and brought 14.08


the the 5th and 6th run!! all the same clutch problem when i shift to 2nd gear!!

my friend told because u had too much grip in your tires so your stock clutch couldn't handle it!!!


i was happy!! but i need clutch advise!! i think with a decent clutch i should reach 13.5!!

So you launched at 1.5 and got the best time. What tires are you on?

HR can do low 13 / high 12 with practice. Keep trying!

Yeah with less trap speed and a better launch I ran 13.50s, you gotta get the car moving quicker. Practice!

Very bottom line, 169.9 km/h. About 106mph. I was trapping under 104 and running 13.50's with a nothing special 2.05 60' time. Your car is making good power and will run low 13's with a decent launch.
