Race To Top A 13.75

The clutch is what worries me, not so much the box

[carbonboy]

On the upside, the clutch would be cheaper to replace no? Would a HD clutch upgrade be too much for the box or uni's?

These drivelines really aren't as weak as people have percieved them. My mate's been running a HD clutch into a EL T5 for about a year and a half now. He really gives it a hiding too!

 

In updates, have ordered underdrives, cat and headers (gonna run them into stock exhaust). I've also fitted up a F6 CAI and the ol' K&N panel filter.

 

Gonna put the performance on hold for a couple of weeks now. The bolster on the right hand side of the drivers seat has gone soft and the leathers fading a bit, so that'll be getting a re-trim. Also gonna get a centre console lide made up in leather and get some paintless dent removal on the couple of pin dents it has.

 

Apart from those, not much visually will be happening...Might drop it on lows as I still plan on using this as a daily and for camping, so Super lows will be impracticle.

 

And just to keep you interested. Some more pics.

 

 

 

Also Some interior shots...you can actually see it in these.

Doogsters 13.75 run

[SLW42]

So thats what you have to beat?, ute will be a shitload lighter straight outta the box ayy

[Rich_Rolla]

Yeah, thats the one. I'm planning to do it with the 3.46 diff rather than 4.11's. Biggest issue will be wheelspin. If i can get it moving without any wheel spin, i should give the time a tickle without cams. Just need the right rubber and some launch practice.

Update. Got it flashed with just a generic tune for now. pulls a bit harder. Needs a dyno tune though. It's developed a exhaust leak so I'm losing a bit of power through that. Got underdrives ready to fit, CAI is on just need an exhaust then it's off to be dyno tuned. Looking at some stage 1 cams as I don't wanna lose idle quality or fuel economy too much. It's still a daily.

 

Gone back to study though so money is tight for a while until I find work that fits around tafe. Should have it at heathcote before the year ends.

[Rich_Rolla]

Got a turbo kit for this minus a few bits. Will fit it up if car doesn't go

[SLW42]

You and me both :D except mine'll be on the car once it's rego'd and what not lol, yours should handle boost alot better than mine though hahaha

[Rich_Rolla]

For sale. Want a a70 Supra or the same era soarer.

[orangeLJ]

no times in this?

[TarmacAttack]

My mates BF RTV makes 182rwkws with xforce extractors into a 2.5" exhaust, growler intake, F6 little air duct scoop thingy and SCT tuning tool tuned by Jake at jakes performance. Since the tune i have had a play around and found that there was more in it, had a play with the timing it feels great through the midrange.

 

 

Not sure what it would pull though

[Rich_Rolla]

Pulled a 13.9 at Heathcoat. Nothing to write home about but pretty good on stock exhaust with just a tune, CAI and underdrive. If I end up keeping this I reckon it'll be turned into a very neat daily (I don't drive much daily anyway) and I'll be picking up a A70 or a 31 for a 1j or RB25 project.

 

It's too much of a nice car to hack up and start modding the crap out of.
