At a test and tune at willowbank last summer, my RA28 celica with 0.5mm of tread on rear tyres(seriously, i'm saving for turbo- but now i know u need tread) with 25kg sub-box combo and amp-ie: full street trim, pulled:
1st run: No result recorded- they stuffed up.
2nd run:16.83 @ 89mph
3rd run:16.95 @ 81mph
The 1st run was embarassing: i got told to put my window up on the line- I was very nervous being my 1st time and i forgot, then when i was winding it up the light went- me bad!, and then I fluffed second gear. The only good thing was i still wipped the escort in the micky thompson lane.
The 2nd run was my best on the night, although I had traction loss until 5-6000prm in second and a chirpy in 3rd (with soft launch) and not flat changing.
The 3rd run was all-out. I wanted to go faster so i launched hard, flat changed and subsequently lost traction till end of third whilst backing off the throttle, hence the time.
The moral of the story: I U WANT TO GO FAST HAVE ENOUGH POWER, AND ENOUGH TREAD. AND/OR GET SLICKS!!!
I honestly believe i should get into the mid/high 15's. Next time i'll have new soft tyres.
PS: how much do stock RA28 celica meant to weigh?
