let him have his moment : some one will need to enlargen his MAGA cap's

stoked you've got a result there Master of Metal and all things old Toyota Mr Sheepers

I think there really needs to be a full throttle stationary cooling system test, just to make sure its 100% right. 

Please film, and post results.

Awesome news mr sheeper’s.

Yes now we can look forward to the rest of the car being painted, that red is going to look fucking SHARP.

I was gonna suggest that too, however it was just on a dyno which is the same thing really.

If you want to try some launch control stuff at the drags with just one wheelspeed sensor then I've found this can work good 



But probably not 4200rpm launch when it's making a shitload of power there haha.

Not sure if its better to use a fuel cut instead of ign cut though. 

Might be harder to get a burnout going though, and that's possibly 80% of the point of drags

[sheepers 20,264]

that looks like a thing that might work.

but you're right, burnouts might be compromised and we cant have that.

Jolly good show cracking into the 12's!

I'm a little surprised your MPH is so slow, for such a fast time? 

I've gone mid 90's in low 14's, and mid 12s at 107. 

[Roman 13,454]

Fuck yeah! 

Awesome 60 foot time! 

Was it hooking up like that all day, or dialled it in a bit? 

 

[sheepers 20,264]

that was the only pass i made with such a good launch and some actual traction through first and second.

rest of the day was all 13.2, 13.4 with wheel spin at the first part of the track.

Worth getting some sticky drag slick big tyres for next time just even for science?

the dash is coming along but i thought i should see if it works before i get to much further down the track.

temp wired it and it works.

now i have to learn a bunch about customising which data gets sent to the dash and also how to drive the dash customisation software.

Looks like its idling a bit high..

Dash looks great,  and will have plenty of options l presume ......whats it cost ..   yes I'm sitting down

[sheepers 20,264]

yea there a millions of options.

it was 1800$

[Roman 13,454]

Look forward to seeing how that dash turns out! 

It's massively underrated to have a dash (and/or ECU) that can just flash "stop the car, idiot!" in your face instead of having to interpret constantly sweeping gauges while you're concentrating on barrelling down the track at way to fast o-clock.

I'm still chuffed on your behalf for getting a 12, thats friggen sweet.
