any weight reduction?
yea just the spare wheel/jack and the parcel. didnt take the rear seats and amp becoz i cbs disconnecting the wires.
is ur car tuned koz thas a realy good time and what tyres???? if it is tuned by who and what u got vafc or other???
running toyo T1R's. yea its got a vafc. tune by akmotorworks, did the 14.6 with a crappy launch was hopping 1st gear :( into 2nd.
Really good effort man for minimal mods and weight reduction! Easy low 14's with good launch
What mph did you get out of curiosity?
my mph was 94.66, but then again that day the mph was reading funny because wen i was on the left lane it was in the 90s but wen i was in the right lane it was reading 110+.
yea i really need to learn to launch it properly, kept on hopping :(
Where did you run at?
I remember last time at Heathcote, the right lane was producing rediculously high mph runs.
yea heathcote, was full of tanked holdens/fords and a few bikes
hey G-Stick
whats ur thoughts on ur vafc? helped much?
i got one but i've been reading around and on a couple of other forums and i find no love for them. I'm in doubt now. Anyways to makes things worse i kinda know that there is basically not much difference b/w vafc and the vafc2 in capabilities besides a finer tune for the vafc. but which one are u running?
ive got a vafc2, i heard they are pretty much the same. got mine for dirty cheap. yer i can feel the difference wen it got tuned by akmotorworks. got a 5 kw atw gain.
yea besides being better looking i hope i don't lose out on power which is the important thing (vafc)
anyways, after reading this thread for a while u guys have inspired me to attempt my own track time maybe too although i have no idea what so ever lol
but i'd like to get my car there too one day. guna get the basic i/h/e + vafc tuned by akmotorworks too once he comes back from holiday. can't wait! and perhaps looking at cams in the future.
so i hope u guys can help me out along the way with all ya experience and perhaps one day i can say i drive a 14.xxx vtir too =D
Your going to have to go head to head with him soon Ivan ;)

wow fellas, that sort of work has been done on a number of R's out there and you dont hear about such great times, you must be kick ass drivers
Dont forget tyres lol. Semi slick or slicks make a big difference in times !Quote:

i dont see how they can, considering a semi slick tyre is designed for track/circuit use so it would take much more than a burn out to get them up to heat. Well thats what i thought anyways on those runs i did. Unless we are talking about those BF Goodrich drag semis which are real soft and can get warmed up easily.Quote:

Just a noob question, why does semi slicks make a big difference? more grip?Quote:

What should a stock dc2r run with street tyres? 14.8?
and what should a stock dc2r run with semi slicks?
Just want to compare the differences
Super stiff sidewalls though...Quote:
