  • Woody's Barra Powered Toyota Crown recently rolled off 666HP at the hubs and since then has done over 2000km of daily driving duties so we packed the car and headed to the track to see what this oversized fridge can do on the 1/8th mile!

  • @sheel2
    @sheel2 10 месяцев назад +1

    I think you need some more heat in the tyres on the launch woody, bit bigger burnout in the box. I've only got limited experience myself but a few times I've launched on stone cold tyres and they never even looked like hooking. Sounds like it is a freight train after the 60 though!! Good stuff!

    • @theskidfactory
      @theskidfactory  10 месяцев назад

      Yeah, i think I was being a bit conservative but apparently the PSR doesn't like a lot of heat?

    • @sheel2
      @sheel2 10 месяцев назад +1

      @theskidfactory I can totally understand taking it easy on a fresh build and a car you want to drive often, too. If you're happy just going fast and participating and not really chasing numbers at the risk of breaking stuff, that's a fair call! You could try one big smokey burnout if you're feeling game, just to test the theory... either way, it's great to see it being driven heaps!

    • @theskidfactory
      @theskidfactory  10 месяцев назад

      PSR is the brand of tyre. They are a street drag radial but more aimed at no prep. Advice from other users is that they don't like to be heated up a lot as they are not a true drag tyre like an MT.
