Decided to try out the new motor (hi-comp ka) at the drag strip, turns out i need a new clutch haha, 1st run, 15.69 @142 km/h 2nd run, 15.86 @140 km/h 3rd run, 16.07 @138 km/h 4th run, 16.13 @141 km/h clutch was slipping a fair bit right from the beginning, then just got worse as the night went on haha, oh well, something buy to come spring time ---

once i get a clutch that doesn’t slip it should be much better times, rpms would stay steady at around 6000 in 3rd with the speed slowly climbing lol ---

I was suppose to go too. When I was changing to my good tires the damn wheel stud broke and I spent 1 hour putting in a new one, by then it was too late to reach the track ☹ Anyone here reaching next friday? ---

your clutch sucks mark. i’m pretty sure the car has a 15.0 in it, it pulled decently once when the clutch didn’t slip. let me know if you want a hand whenever you do the clutch. my stock KA did 15.5@89mph with just intake and advanced timing, i’m guessing pantaloons racing is talking about the same car (sold it to him). and what’s with the trap speed reading in km/h? ---
