Drag raced tonight with drift set

yea.... this was my first time drag racing the 240.. just curious to see what i can do in the 1/8 mile.

anyway.. i was too lazy to change my setup... i had it setup still from the indy driftshootout.... big mistake... i was all over the track... absolutely no traction what so ever...i only saw third gear once... what a waste of money....

so what were your times...can say you went to the track and not post times...!!!!!

still had the same setup?.. you mean Ass tires?

theres not much else you could have changed... it takes like a second to set the shocks to full soft.

im not gonna say any times..... lol... it was that bad..

as with the setup.. i can do a few things.

i can raise and soften the front for better weight transfer... and then soften the rear too.... and also i can run lower psi in my rear tires

right now i have the front super stiff... that made it where it didnt transfer the weight at all

actually at the drag strip by where i live consistantly the fastest cars (on import-only weekends) are AWD eclipses and 240sx. several of both kinds in the 12s and a couple in the 11s

Similar to any car, 240sxs must be tuned to race specific setups if you are trying to get really good times.

BTW 240sxs are really good drag cars IMO. I didn't see too many other cars running 2.0 60' times on 205 street tires/open differential when I was at the track. And there is pretty much straight domestic every time I go.

SR you are right about the camber thing. Some people run positive camber so when the car squats, it will flatten out the contact patch.

And don't make threads about you going ot the track just to say you did poorly. Post times or this thread gets T3h L0ck...

No I agree... theres not much you can change unless hes crying about not being able to put on stock shocks and springs on the rear...

Kuah did a 1.4 60ft on 7kg/mm rear springs in his 300ZX

There's an S13 with a FULL Silvia Conversion that runs out at our local Drag Way... He throws down some excellent times. I'll post a video.

Jun makes some kind of solid rear axle thingy for 240s, it's like 1200$. And also, "don't drag with your drift set"??? What does that even mean???

ZedEx · #12 09-11-2005, 01:51 PM

Well for some reason the S13 videos aren't anywhere to be found on my Harddrive... Anyway, I have some of my buddy Freddy's S14.

He's got an SR20DET powertrain, a little bit here and there on it, nothing too serious. Not to mention he has Drift tires on as well

Run one

I'll post the second run after it optimizes.

well.. if you have fully adjustable suspension.. you can change your set...

Rick ran a 10.9 at 134. Click here

His timeslip is at the bottom. Running street radials and babying the car off the line. Stock tranny doesn't hold too well w/600+whp.lol I'm quite sure with his traps, a better 60' is more than possible. That car could run 9s with a better set up for drivetrain.

Uhh... thats a subframe... SPL has one they're trying to sell for an S14... its just reinforced with the geometry tuned for squat.

Theres a 240 here with a solid axle and ford 302 something... very clean.. very professional... runs high tens.... still a good 2 seconds off of the fastest IRS SR20 Car.

Hoosier Drifter - you keep on talking about how you were on a drift setup... uh alright. whats that? you dont seem to know yourself... you just keep going on about how you could have changed some stuff. and unless you talking about swappin on busted rear shocks and zeroing camber theres not much you could have done... (which would have had a minimal affect anyhoo)

just post your damn times and quit trying to pin shitty launches on your ubar drift setup
