Z-Gad Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Scottie and I went to a private track rental on Sunday to spectate, as we knew Darin Dichiara (tuner from Titan Motorsports) was running his 6-speed Supra. Here was the timeslip of his only clean pass that we were there for... 60'-1.390 330-3.80 1/8-5.656 Mph-132 1000-7.23 1/4-8.550 Mph-171.5 video of the run - Many of you who frequent the Supra boards may have already seen this video. This is with a built 3-liter and a stock Supra 6-speed. It is a true full weight street car with power steering, working a/c, etc. To see it run in person was a treat... I see the potential....

myplasticegg Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 That squat between shifts is just awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badjuju Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I was gonna ask, since I don't know much about suspension yet... doesn't that squat mean he needs a tighter setup (understanding he's running 8 seconds) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the rear is too soft, then it will just bottom out and your tire contact patch and axle geometry will be off. If the rear is too stiff, then it won't plant properly or even will unload between shifts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speeder Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Awesome. OK Mike, are you looking for a V160 now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oatmilk Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 if I ever break the R-154, I'm going V-160. What a tranny getrag built for the late 90's supra. Total overkill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4xwellmurd3r Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I think you have to find a happy medium there somewhere with a manual shifted IRS.. If the rear is too soft, then it will just bottom out and your tire contact patch and axle geometry will be off. If the rear is too stiff, then it won't plant properly or even will unload between shifts... that's what i was thinking. if it's too stiff it can't plant itself firmly, and between shifts all the weight would unload and you'd loose traction, too soft and it goes BANG and bottoms out and everything goes screwy. vw's are kind of like that too. but because they're swing axle, you have to be careful how you set it up. i think usually people run the suspension slightly on the high side, so when the car takes off and squats, the tires are close to having 0camber (since swingaxles are like all over the place with camber) watching that supra is insane. from the launch to the end i'm just staring at it skittering across the track haha. that's very impressive.

Scottie-GNZ Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Awesome. OK Mike, are you looking for a V160 now? Only if he wants to go slower Darin is switching to an automatic so he can go quicker than 8.55 and be more consistent to comptete in NHRA/NOPI.

Z-Gad Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 Awesome. OK Mike, are you looking for a V160 now? Not right now anyway... maybe when driving the auto get boring, but it hasn't yet... I guess I'd need one to run the Silver State with you someday though !
