    Finally got out there!!!

    Hey people i FINALLY got the TT ute out there and tried to see how i went as i have "never" been out on the strip and "never" flogged the ass out of my ute...
    I ran it FULL TRIM as i put it in Car Shows etc, with 20s, PULP, Full Stereo, Both seats, 8psi, 5400rpm limiter, 175,000k's, Cylinder 5 basically rooted etc etc etc..

    Nerves were getting to me about 4 cars from the staging lights..

    Here we go anyway!
    You can congratulate (not that its anything to), pay out on me (errr what shit times etc) or whateva you like, i had an absolute blast and cant wait to get back out there then the new motor is done..

    First up (few slight revs and we're off):
    Reaction 0.630
    60ft 2.517
    ET 13.739 @ 111.91

    Second (2500rpm stall up wheel spin city):
    Reaction 0.751
    60ft 3.317
    ET 16.158 @ 110.95

    Third few (revs again):
    Reaction 0.899
    60ft 2.758
    ET 14.035 @ 112

    Fourth (Best of the nite ):
    Reaction 0.940
    60ft 2.228
    ET 13.154 @ 112.70

    This was the best experience i've had and cant wait to get back out there and keep on practising to get the times down.. Eventually i will

    20inch wheels will never help Wait till the new motor is built and you have the power your car deserves and chuck some MT radials on the back and let her rip

    Lol Brett, told you you'd get hooked. Was a pretty good night, I had fun trying to figure out how to launch my ute, even though it was getting far from its PB time of 13.5. Def in need of a touch up tune.

    Can't wait for next time out, Esp when 11SLI will be out with the new motor.

    Good to hear that you enjoyed your first time at the strip. Just Let the boys know at Hi-Torque if you want some ET's and we'll get them in for you.

    good effort mate, i told u the 20s were no good. im kicking myself i didnt take bec out the u could have both had some fun . Dont worry about dave, im sure his berlina is covered in dust still

    let us know if u go out that way again, im sure we can get a 12 out of the ol 7 cylinder yet.

    We should arrange to run on a sat, that way bec and u can have a run, then bec can race kent , the I can drink the carton they bet each other

    1OESS
    if the doc gives the ok, ill see u at the 7/11 without ya

    Good on you mate - keep it up. I fully support the case of running in Full street trim also.

    I gave up after my second run.............. 128 and a bit mph after a first to 5th gearchange and then back to third to run it through in 4th - don't get too much power with a manual, you just can't use it.

    You ran 128mph going 1st to fourth with enough time to crunch a gears would love to see a time slip from that effort

    how did hellbent run?
    Mick - Yeh the 20s are coming off and ill throw some ET streets on her for sure.. The ute isnt going in till early-mid next week so i might come out Saturday to see what happens again
    As for Hellbent, i think he broke something as the launch he did on his final run was insane then bang
