Thanks man.
She has mid 12's in her with sticky tires.

We'll see how long the rear & trans last too.

Been meaning to get mine down to the track for some euns but the closest 1/4 mile track is quite a haul for me. I'm sure it will run 13s no problem based on my datalogs, but being NA it won't come close to that trap speed

at the crazy amount of wheel spin.

Well done sir.

Unless his mods are bringing and RS4 with a 700lb weight reduction, you're good to go.

Heading back to the strip tonight with drag radials.
Hoping to get mid 12's and I'm really hoping she stays together in one piece

my best was 14.3 stock with 57,000 km.
no burnout, launch at 6k. it was on a cool night with no wind
fairly new tires and had a fresh oil change before heading down. dont know if that helps really.

^ thanks for the advice.

Track was fun last night, lots of fast cars.
Ill post up some videos soon.
There was a sweet looking 3 rotor datsun.

My best run was a 12.7@107 still on 12 psi.
The drag radials worked wonders and i had almost no tire spin.

Here's the slip.Steve

WOW ! congratulations on breaking into the 12s- If i'm not mistaken that is the best time EVER from a turboed Renesis !!!!

Drag radials were obviously worth up to a full second ?

I would love to find out exactly what you did to make that happen.
I have several ideas for engines if this one goes, and I would like
to know more details on your REW marriage.....if you wouldn't mind.
Send me a PM sometime.
Thx!

My kids beg to go with me now....it's great to have the four seats....
but..I really miss the mid 12's my last 93 R1 would do all day.....
without drag radials! I don't know what I could have pulled with em.

Yep that's it, thanks Team.

Gorockrx, Speed1 did a hell of a job building it. Not one problem to date with the car

Okay, now I feel much much better about my track times. It was strange, I thought our cars stock should be faster in a 1/4. I'm up at 5,400ft elevation, and my fastest time was 15.89 @ about 87 mph. (first time taking a m/t down the track). I was a little disappointed, and I feel as though it will run better at sea level, but I'm not quite sure by how much.
