So far no one has suggested anything that will help me I was thinking taking back seats out maybe passagener seat,taking out spare tyre,taking rear muffler off getting my injectors cleaned new fuel pump,taking out air filter,maybe run some fuel addertive
lol... you answerd the questions yourself pretty much?
do all that, dont use fuel additive its waste of money. by a better pod filter or something. theres carbon intakes here with pod filter for 50bux on forsale section.
use 40psi on rear tyres, if your really going to a strip have around 20-25psi on front tyres.
if you want to go through the trouble of taking ur exhaust out and all then do it.
buy a ferrari
buy some semi slicks for the front wheels, run the ideal tyre pressure for a run, and strip out ur car lol
tell your friend that he should shift at 2k rpm for ultimate use of the SP23 engine, then you will smoke him.
Stock sp23 - good driver I guess

15.5, not bad
My pops got a SP23 tiptronic and my missus got a sp23 manual, I've driven both hard, the manual sp23 obviously better than the tiptronic one, the tiptronic one lags when you're shifting at redline into the next gear for like a second. The manual sp23 gives b16 egs a good go, just for comparison.
sorry mate but you're gonna get walked
Any justification for your response? I'd like to hear it...Quote:

FREE - Easy:
Run only a <quarter tank of fuel. Use the highest octane fuel you can find and if possible, run this fuel for a few fill ups before the race. Try to get 'fresh' fuel on the day
Remove as much of your interior as possible + spare tire and break down kit
Empty your windscreen washer bottle
Remove your intake filter
Reduce your tire pressure (around 25psi) and increase your tire pressure at the front (45psi)
Seize your rear suspension using hard compound rubber blocks etc. You want as little play in the rear as possible. This will stop the natural weight transfer from acceleration and help you keep traction at the front wheels (do not drive like this to and from the drag race)
Keep your bonnet up between runs to help it cool
Remove resonator
Remove sound system
Wear thinner socks and no undies
Free - Harder:
Remove sound deadening
Run piping from intake to front bumper
Cheap:
Get your car serviced. Upgrading your injectors/spark plugs etc are a good idea. Every little bit counts
Make sure you run a good oil. Thinner = more power (within recommended range) however with that many KM's make sure you use a good oil
Also, if you're running big rims consider smaller ones. If you want to spend some money, light weight rims, a full exhaust system and CAI will make sure you have the edge.
Lastly, with the higher PSI for the tires, make sure you keep checking the pressure between races. It will increase throughout each pass (due to heat),
Good luck!
Next time when i go, im emptying water in my
Water bottle and freeballing
I do that already. I also get a Number 2 shave as well......all round!
Is your car a manual ? A auto sp23 is nugget my mate had one when I first had my gsi and he couldn't take
Me , but never been in a base dc5 so could go either way
