Hay all

Im so stocked to get into 14s tonight at willowbank. Just wouldnt think she had it in her for a 230km old engine. Plus Slowely wearing clutch. Anyways my best time off 14.855. Long story short i was told to put my tyre pressure down to 25 26psi for more traction so i did. On the way home went to put it back up to 35psi. And my front tyres were on 40psi gauge at servo was out. Then i thought thats why i wasnt getting the best traction out there. Wat got me into the 14s was my take of practice. But i could easily get into the 14.7. Mabey dare say 14.6 cause my 60ft time for my best time was low 2.3. One take off i did was umberlievable got a 60ft time of 2.2 stuffed that run up hitting the rev limiter in first and slightly missing 3rd i still got a 15.005. Im really thinking with more traction an easy 14.7. Anyways had people all night saying to me wats under that thing. I dont believe that is stock lol. I got a couple of time slips to show of the night.

You might want to check your tyre pressure again in the morning as the heat you've generated in your front tyres from burnouts and drag racing would have caused the pressure to read higher.

Good times you've got there and hope to see them dropping again soon.

Awesome + well done.

When I had my car at the track, I found that a dodgy clutch cost me 0.2 seconds from 16.4 to 16.6.
Since your doing high 14s it might be worth more or less, don't know.

On my car, the clutch was cable, not hydraulic, but it was adjustable - the adjustment would make my slipping clutch work normally again and give me another 5,000kms of driving normally - all except for the ceramic clutch. Don't know if the Magna's is adjustable, but if it is you might get some life out of yours.
