Provided the weather holds out im there to spectate. The roads are 90% dry in penrith and the sun is trying to break through the clouds but their are still occassional very light showers.

All eyes on www.wsid.com.au at 3-4pm :rolleyes:

Well I'm home now because we got rained out. :mad:

I got 4 runs in, all of which were crap.

I got to thinking and decided that the radiator airflow panel might be restricting me so we took it off and then the rain stopped another run but on the drive home it definitely felt more powerful.

The airbox itself is not a restriction, it's getting air to it that's the problem.

I would say my 256 dyno kilowatts are more like 220 road kilowatts with my current setup.

Hey mate,

Didnt get a run in coz of the weather, rocked up late...

Saw your runs.... shame about the rain... Cars looking good. yours too msp-25t.

Was gunna coe up and say hi, but saw your in depth conversation about the radiator panel with the boys! All that thinking prob heated up the engine bay a bit too....

Damn Mona with her impressiveness.

Ahh sorry Ben. Yeah it was one of those brainwaves that results in more money being spent on the car.

At least I did some good burnouts. My speedo saw 180km/h in a couple of them!!!

Ahh damn you Adam....so now i do the lamest burnout on SAU

Just got back to the workshop now. HAd a good nite, 3 passes in all. First was a 12.90 @ 111mph. (15psi, bogged launch from hell), Second pass was a 12.0 @ 116 - More boost and too many revs so up in wheelspin.

Last run was an 11.75 @ 121mph. Still has a bit in the 60'. :mad:

Well done Mona on the 12.60 and Abo on the BIG SMOKEY BURNOUTS!!!

Yes Paul, now you do the gheyest burnout in SAU!

Adrian/Daniel/Stuart :)

I guess I should have sacrificed a few more virgins, bloody rain.

Had a little fun with Abo bob and his 4 doors, sorry mate. :mad:

Did a PB in my sled 13.442 @ 107 mph, but a slow 2.17 60' time.

Gotta get that sorted. :)

Well done to Mona with her new tune and Daniels RNMENC.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
