Finally took my car down to the track

[PRO 5]

This past Friday I went down with a couple of friends just to see what differance a turbo does to our cars. I don't know if anyone else posted any times but if not, I know that everyone is itching to know also. I only went down 4 times because my clutch was toast by the 3rd pass. All I can say is that you can't get a good launch anymore (duh!). I had to come off the line at about 2000 to 2500 rpm or your just up in smoke!

I was running at 4lbs of boost (due to my little incident that set me back a month KABOOM!) The times I ran was about what I was guessing I was going to run at 4lbs so I wasn't too disappointed. I had fun that night. I really need a clutch though. I ran pretty consistantly through the 4 passes so I will take that as a base line to improve on. My times were ............

For the results of my "Night at the Track", tune in next week in the saga "Dave's Quest for 12's!"

HAHAHAHAHA!

Alright, alright already! Don't have to get violent! Sheesh! Hehehe! The quickest time I got on the night was 15.308 at 91.81 mph. Mind you this is with 4lbs of boost with my clutch slipping ever so slightly.

In 3 of the 4 runs (except the first run 15.705 ) they were all in the 15.3xx zone at 91.xx mph. I was kinda expecting low 15's with the 4lbs of boost so I wasn't too disappointed. I was hoping for a 14.999 but looking at my mph, maybe with a new clutch and getting my launch down, I don't think it is imposiable!

Once I get my new clutch, I will turn the boost up to 5lbs and then 6lbs and see what happens. After I play around with this set up for a little while, on to stage 5 of my mod step ladder sometime in March/April. Then we shall see what I break next!!

Happy now!!!

Sound's about right to me. You're probably at around 147-153 to the front wheels, which would net you about a low to mid 15 second pass. So your guestination was right. The slipping clutch is what put you over 15.5 probably. But hey your P5 is still faster than most right now.

 

[mp3rican007]

Thats faster than the new mazdaspeed protege and you are running less boost and dont have an lsd. And like you said if you get a decent clutch with a light flywheel it should put you at 14.9-15.1 1/4 mile times, Good work.

So when is anybody else gonna clock there car? I set the bar (even though the bar is not very high right now ) and I wanna see who is gonna jump over it! Come on guys, it's time you stop babying your cars and see what they can do!!! I don't wanna be the only idiot beating on his car.
