Wow, there's a lot of people in here who haven't run 9.359 yet

Why are you all crying about tyres instead of congratulating him?

I don't see any claim the run was on federals or any federal sponsorship on the car. If the bloke needed to move to other tyres how is that different to a change any other racer makes to go faster?

Anyway.... well done Theo :(

I wasnt hasseling him about what tyres he was using!!! It was a genuine question! Cause if fedaral made a tyre that could get those kind of results I would be interested in taking a look at getting some for every day tyres!! (I had been told they are grippless so I was hoping that his could be confirmed of denied)

It has become blatantly obvious that unfortunately Federal do not at this time make a tyre to run 9.35 on. This DOES NOT mean they aren't a well-priced compromise tyre for a genuine street driven car that can also run fast times at the strip. This shouldn't be something for Federal to be ashamed of, they DO go well at the strip (to a limit), but maybe have an issue with 1000hp and 1500kg?

I have heard however that they are working on a more dedicated strip tyre? Anyone confirm this?

Theo has ran high to mid 9's on Federals, ive run 1.6 60' times with them....so has Stacey....i think they are a good all round comprimise for a street car that regularly sees the strip. The drift boys seem to love them too.

ps. this is only my opinion and possibly is total bullsh1t

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
