Hey guys.
So it has been a long time since we had an update on the car.
Nothing much has changed modification wise but we did take her to our local track.
Every first Friday & Sunday of the month, Tarlton International Raceway, hosts an event called Street to Strip. (S2S for short) Remember...this is not a prepared track on this event.
This was my Dad's first time out to the track with his 86. He was definitely the better driver between us as I do not drive a manual car very often. (And now with the Supra sold...I only have my DSG GTi left)
Nonetheless...we went out to get some times with our RGM 86. I was hoping for low 14's but we could only manage high 14's and low 15's. Sometimes even 16's+ with a bad launch. We had about plus/minus 8 runs in total. Trying various techniques to get off the line better....but with the light weight rear end of the 86....we really struggled a lot to get of the line properly.
(Keep in mind this was with 255/35/18 Michelin Pilot Sport 3 tyres at the back and 225/40/18 in the front)
The best time we managed (my Father) was 14.95 @ 156km/h.
The car definitely needs more power! But I guess it wasn't designed for straight line speed....
Anyway...here is a combined video with the runs:
