Despite several days of almost continuous rain, decided to go down to the Champion Dragway at Meremere anyway this morning. Man, was that start line like ice or what? First time I've ever managed to get the GT4 to spin its wheels in second gear! Very damp surface to add the the usually crap start line area anyway. No VHT laid down as the meet wasn't important enough
Not very good conditions for good times - especially with the car as is - ie, spare wheel/jack in boot, road tyres, etc.... Still, everyone was in the same boat 14.480 isn't anything to shout about, but given the conditions and as it was the 4's first trip to the strip, can't complain And yes, before someone points it out - I was asleep at the start Gary -------------------- 1994 ST205 Celica GT-FOUR Group A WRC - running in new engine 1993 Rover 220 GTi tarmac rally car (under construction) 3SGE power here we come....

Very little done performance enhancing wise to date. Just a 2.5" exhaust decatted, TRD panel filter and a Profec B Spec II running around 16psi.
Need to sort out a decent pod filter, 3" exhaust for starters. Then I can look at those forged pistons, lightweight flywheel and clutch, Apexi ECU and 23psi Gary -------------------- 1994 ST205 Celica GT-FOUR Group A WRC - running in new engine 1993 Rover 220 GTi tarmac rally car (under construction) 3SGE power here we come....
