Macca's BA MkII XR6 Turbo Ute

['ssv']

Oh ok, i can only imagine the traction losses on road tyres, would be a slippery little sucker. What sort of 60' are you running?
Is that (400rwkw) reaching the limits of the auto transmission?

Nah took it out again but had problems with the auto, was running like 11.7 @ 120mph, had to back off on each gear change.

11.7 is pretty awesome. Your car is putting out some awesome power man. I took the ute to WSID a few weekends ago for their Sunday Race for Real event. Just went for shits and giggles with a big group of mates. Was my first ever time doing anything like that. lol. First run was a 15.8. Got it to a 15.0 @ 98mph after a few more runs. Thats without any real thrashing of my clutch etc on the starts and stuff coz as I said this is to be my reliable daily. Was a good fun day though. Gonna take my ZX6R down next month and see what it does on the 1/4

15.0!! Making the turbo crowd look bad, lol

Woooooot i'm faster then a turbo

Getting power from the turbos isn't expensive. You're just a flash tune away from 12's

15.0!! Making the turbo crowd look bad, lol

Lol. I wasn't that disappointed. As I said it was my first ever time doing anything like that and when I say I didn't thrash it I really mean I didn't thrash it. Street tyres, no pre-run burnout/wheel spin after rolling through the water, no limiter bashing waiting for the green, in fact barely even a full on clutch drop on my starts, moreso eased off the line like an old granny. Lol. 100% stock ute that's my daily driver with 190,000km on it. I wasn't there with the aim of coming home with slip times to brag about. Haha.

If your not going to do a staging burnout, drive around the water box.

 

[Macca86]

Yeah that got explained to me on my last run. Prior to that I didn't really think about it/know you were allowed to do it. lol

If you ever don't want that 6 speed il take it off your hands

Ute looks good! How does it compare up to the ss?

 

[Macca86]

Haha. Think ill be hanging onto the 6sp lol

Very different to drive then the SS. I do miss the sounds of the V8. And the low rev torque. But once you get that turbo working the speedo just climbs quicker then the SS. Lol

Pretty nice. Gotta love the turbo feel, spooling up is nice
