Took my N/A ba xr6 to heathcote today

x_phantom_x · 27-08-2006, 07:38 PM

Hey guys

I decided to give my n/a ba xr6 a run at heathcote. The car actually surprised me, I honestly thought my car would do a 15.5 - 15.8.
My best run was a 15.0 @ 93.5mph and that was my 2nd run out of the 8 I did. My 60ft time was 2.2. The worst time I did was a 15.3 so overall I was very happy with the car's performance.
The only mod I have done is the typhoon 2nd hole box.

That's a great time with only F6 CAI it is manual I assume? Have you got factory LSD also?

x_phantom_x · 27-08-2006, 08:10 PM

The car is auto with no LSD.

Hey, thanks mate. I had half a tank of vortex 95 then I filled up the rest of the tank with mobile 8000.

Have you taken your car to calder yet with the cam and tune?

sfr rob · 27-08-2006, 09:54 PM

cool!
hey how does Heathcote work on the weekends.. Do you have to book to have a few runs.. or do you just turn up pay and race?
I think i might get down there on the weekend.

It's exactly like caldar, you turn up, pay then race. I prefer heathcote because you can drag when ever you want without waiting in a big queue like caldar. Prices are good too, $40 to race and $15 to watch.

Well done mate, thats a great time for a NA with cai only !

sfr rob · 27-08-2006, 10:07 PM

i think i might go up on the weekend to have some fun.. never raced any cars so i would like to see what the ba can do... hopefully it isnt to bad.
what time do they open and close, and how many people are usually there.... can you get a few rund in without too much hassle?

Kev_BLNXR8_Ute · 28-08-2006, 07:25 AM

Well done on your time.
I saw it run a couple times.

Looks like there were a few members up there.....

troppo · 28-08-2006, 08:24 AM

Yeah that's a great time and an awesome 60ft time I might add. I seem to get mostly low 2.4's and the odd 2.3.

Casper · 28-08-2006, 08:56 AM

Great time there for a stock car (lets face it, the intake isnt a huge mod so its basically stock). Certainly one of the fastest BA XR6 NA's I've come across and definatly the fastest stock one.

Couldnt mis my car, I was parked near the control tower with 6 guys trying to reef a stuck wheel off the back.

**Chris** · 28-08-2006, 09:15 AM

well done bro

Hi mate thanks, here's my time slip. I was mostly surprised with my 60ft times, I never got worse then a 2.3.

My previous car was a BA ghia v8 and the best time I got in that was also a 15.0 with a 2.2 60ft time....So this xr6 of mine surprised me lol.

I apologize if the time slip isn't clear, my scanner isn't the best..
