Nightspeed Dragwars

Post by last_resort14 » Mon Mar 15, 2010 11:39 am

Hey everyone.
I took my MX to the Nightspeed Dragwars at Meremere on 19th feb and have just got around to uploading the videos so I thought i'd share.

This was my first time ever taking my car down a strip so I was pretty shocking with reaction times :oops: , My best ET was 13.75 which I didnt think was too bad

And also I thought id do another first on the night, I entered my car in the burnout competition at the end of the night, good fun :D

Nice first run! The integra was'nt slow.

That burn out looked expensive!

Reckless use of a motor vehicle, done in the best taste:D

TOP STUFF!!
Tires aren't cheap!

Yea that integra wasnt too bad, it was turbo. I still beat him in that run though
Yea I was intending on destroying that motor in the burnout but I ended up driving it home and its as good as ever, haha

my trap speeds were between 160-170 kmh for the runs, that run was 163kmh but it was only a 14.14 ET

Yea ive still got the shitty 1.6 viscous diff.
Ive been treating the car pretty hard since ive turbo'd it, track days burnouts drags drifts etc and the diff is still going strong, haha i cant believe it sometimes
yea hopefully get some more rep for the mx

Clutch was fine, its a 4puk brass button with a heavy duty pressure plate so its up to the task
