Nice

Not really, very disappointing actually.

After 4 long days and nights we made significant gains, we went to 16V batts and I re-wired all the amps to 0g.

At around 1am this morning, we maxed out at 168.0 from just two amps at 0.5 ohm (15.4V at the amps). I'm sure you'll understand our hopes for four amps at 0.25 today......

It was a bad week, Theo's brand new engine in his drag car failed, Aaron's CD player failed and this morning at around 2am Theo's big Snap On charger joined the club. Thankfully Leo (a dead set legend and all around top bloke ) loaned us his charger pretty well all day.

Unfortunately it just couldn't kick the 3-5 year old golf cart batts in the little wagon into life. Our first run with four amps resulted in the 9V region (from 16.7V), with a best of 167.7, still the highest dB Drag score ever recorded in Australia.

Aaron, Theo and I are now exploring battery options for the next run later this year.

Some good news from today! Samuel McWaters, a long time dB Drag competitor getting up way up there, 157.5 in SS 1-2, a great score, well done!

Phil

what was the guy running to be put into Super Street 3-4 class, that did 133.3dB?

Good god that's awful. Time to retire those batts.

Got any pics from the day or anything at all? (I'm bored as)

We knew they were tired (two of the four Trojans I bought for Andrew's Civic [think 2001], then used many cars since, plus Aaron's 8V that are only charged once a year etc lol). Theo had them sitting in the high 8s and the big Snap On got them over 19V, then around 17V float, but after one burp they were shagged. The Turbostart charger ust couldn't help the poor things.

We made some serious gains from the acoustic work we did and next run with new batts and Z2s we will be happy.

The main thing is, even with 0.25 and 9V we didn't break any amps.

Phil

More pics?

Mine are boring, but Larissa took heaps.

Phil

You've all seen the Honda haven't you?

Here's a few pics of Samuel's 323.

Phil

So Sam's car is now running DD woofers is that right.

NICE socre for the EX 2 car.

1. Yes
2. Thanks

167. 7 puts it 12th in the world. More to come

Phil

x2 on this.


A couple of nice scores there.

12th loudest out of all classes?

I counted 31st.

perhaps I'm looking at the wrong thing?

That Mazda looks like a great effort. And I bet there's still some hiding in there!

12th in Extreme 2

Phil

ah, no worries.

I had no idea what I was looking at anyway haha

we just got home and what a drive but as soon as i will post some pics of autosalon

anyway here are some pics

more to come

I hope those photos were taken before the show opened!! theres nobody there!!

Isn't that the best time to take photos?

Phil

Nice pics Leo.. can you email them to me? Since I couldn't attend this AAS

Not a problem send me a pm with your email

here are more pics

Good pics, thanks

But gee that Kicker car/thing is atrocious...

Well done to Phil and the DD boys with the 167db excellent effort.

cant wait to see a car break the 170 in Australia..... in Wagga maybe Phil??

168 off two amps at 0.5, 170 should have happened at AAS!

Wagga, maybe, we may have another tow truck option. It just depends when Aaron gets new batteries.

There's another event we're looking at in November.

Phil

the SQ nationals! good one Phil!

Nice score guys. Keen to see figures with new batts.

On to picture:

FAIL!


SEXY COLOUR, hope a girl drives that.
