Willowbank last wednesday

Post by vincentvega » Fri Apr 04, 2008 5:26 pm

Went out for a run with Scott the other night. His wagon pulled a 12.7 at 114mph. Heat soak was a real problem with intake temps up around 50deg. On the way to the strip the intake temp didnt get above 20 and it pulled noticeable harder. His new tune has also lost a lot of bottom end and it will only stall up to 2000RPM.

Also kicking ass was Chad from scorpion, he did a 12.99 in his 2.5L dog box'd forester. The launches were awesome to watch

There was a guy there from the RSLC with plates 98BOXR did a best tiem of 12.79 in a green Gen2. That thing hauls ass

That was about it for the subies though. Not alot of interesting cars there apart from a few psycho 1200 utes that looked like they wer egoing to twist in half on launch.

I am all up for taking the green car down there once I have the new motor in it. It'll cook Scotties tits when it is going again.

Was it a test and tune?

couple of dodgy vids: you can hear scotts car short shifting in 2 - 3. he hasn't had a working speed for ages and I reckon its messing with the auto computer

Forester V's Lib

Dog box manual does huge launches, but the auto kills it up top
