is there anywhere legally in sa i can see what my car can do?

[pillzor]

just wanna get it out of my system so i know, dont wanna risk losing liscence or crashing.

[SIG-054]

Mallala? Whyalla?

Buy yourself a drift box, then you can see what your car can do with good accuracy.

[pillzor]

sorry i have no idea what a drift box is.

[pillzor]

also im not interested in burnouts , more like top speed and power through the higher gears etc

[social]

drift box aka a manual v6 / jap car with a locked diff that you can go thrashing / drifting about on a track aka mallala (legal car thrash place)

[pillzor]

oh nah i dont want to do that, i just want too see what my car can do when im finished with extractors, exhaust, cai and memcal.
dont wanna get pinged doing 220 down the highway on my p`s lol

[pillzor]

or maybe i can just get a dyno and get a rough idea from that?

[davway]

would be your best bet.

gffffffffffffffdsgfdsgfds

[pillzor]

not taking that risk mate, 1 ****up and my liscence is gone... i like driving too much.

[pillzor]

i reckon ill just dyno it, id like too know the power output after the mods anyway.

HAHA and the Government wonders why there are so many so called "Hoons" on the streets, i mean its like only a 5 min drive to Mallala and Whyalla isn't it

[chrism182]

Yeah dyno would be your best and most wise choice. Don't risk your license and the lives of other people on the road.

[pillzor]

so what can they tell me from the dyno, KW obviously but what about 0 - 100 and things like that.

[STEALTHY™]

Whyalla and Mt Gambier (or a place close to it) have 1/8th mile tracks.

Other than that, there isn't really much you can do.

[ryno_vrx]

i know what ya mean pillzor i to would love to put my foot down and see what my car can do but as chrism said its simply not worth the risk so unless you can get to some salt flats or similar your only other choices are dyno or drags

[pillzor]

dyno it is then, i just wanna know what it can do im never going too need to go any faster than 110 anyway.

Its hard to relate a power figure from a dyno and put it into a 1/4 mile time.
350 rwkws is enough to push a sub 1300kg into the 10 second area, but then you need to look at ratios setup etc and get them right before you run the 10.

[pillzor]

fair enough , knowing what rwkw i have will be enough then.

[Jared91]

have a look around because i know the motoplex near where i live have a fast thursdays or something where you pay $50bucks and you get your time in the 1/4 mile

We don't have a strip, end of story........

[pillzor]

the dyno will tell me what power its putting out through the rev range aswell wont it?
so if i can get that and a RWKW figure ill be happy.

[greenfoam]

There's drag strips in SA at Whyalla (dedicated track?), Coonawarra (closed road) and nearby just over the Border at Mildura (dedicated track), Casterton (closed road) and Portland (dedicated drag strip). All within driving distance of Adelaide if you are going to make a weekend of it like most people do

[pillzor]

i know whyallas out cos thats like 500km away but ill look into the rest ,cheers greenfoam.

What the hell are you on about?? Please dont post unless you know exactly what your telling people hey.

A drift box is like a G Tech, but much more accurate as its GPS based. You can set up race tracks on it and record your times. Any serious racer that heads out to track days etc should have one.
