Thats a good improvement, well done. Airfields are not so consistent in the times they produce, I dont know why but they can be as much as a second slower or faster than previous events due to conditions. I would expect you to go a bit faster next time out, maybe at Santa Pod ;)

Nice time! Whereabouts is kirkbride?.... too lazy to google it.:p

I'll use that as an excuse for me not being able to get lower than a 15.03 today.... I'm sure it would be quicker on the right day! :p

yeah vf35 guys 1.55 bar 324bhp 300ft lbs. its kirkbride airfield. not sure i will take it too the pod, im happy just doing the local drags for now anyway. still some more work to be done on the car. i will have to get a pick up of my "launch box" lol.

the car is a bit daft now. i think it would be better with longer gears to get he most out of it though.

You will be crossing in 5th with anywhere near 300bhp and a decent launch on a 4WD. Its a swings and roundabout thing, it has so much punch with the low ratios that lag is not really an issue, put the longer gears in and you wont like that lol.

Most Subarus are crossing the line in 5th, a gear change costs about 0.2 seconds, its not such a bad thing IMO.

Great time! Congrats on the new PB. If you were to hit a 1.8 60 feet, i'm sure that your car can do a 11 sec e.t, but i understand that the track surface was not too great.
