So do Federal like you running the numbers on Mickey Thompsons and passing it off as their product? I bet they do!

Adrian

Mate, what is your f'n problem???!!! Oh, you're a drag racer - that right! (No offence meant to anyone else, just this bloke :D )

In my opinion the guy's found the limit of a product and obviously wants to keep improving/developing his car whilst a major sponsor developes a product to compliment the setup (I imagine/speculate/heard that Theo's helping them??) - Exactly what Theo's post "FEDERAL + ET STREET = 9.359 @ 153.01" above means - I dunno?

I can't help but think you've got some serious personal issue with Theo (it's been well enough publicised), given the way you seem to take small snips at him - see the HKS Mini Jam thread! Get over it champ, or even better go and see him personally (tip - wear a mouth guard) and sort it out! I'm sick of lookin at useless jealous posts from you!

The sooner you realise that your only messing around with a slow car by comparison, therefore not even figuring on the radar of the truly fast guys, the better! Stop carrying on like a tool.

Note* Been searching for a WOMBAT smilie but can't find one.........

The role of any racer with sponsorship is to promote the sponsors products and services to their market.

Theo attributed his new PB to sending the car to, "...fulcrum suspension and changed spring rate and camber did not touch the tune at all."

and

Highlighting improved traction as a major contributor to the improved performance, team owner and driver, Theo Woollett added, “We’ve been making the power for quite awhile, now we’re tuning the car to get it to the ground effectively”, stating that gains have been made in suspension setup and power delivery characteristics to achieve the weekend’s improvement of nearly 0.5 seconds of their previous best time.

Nowhere does he honestly attribute ANY success to the tyre change. That's pretty misleading from where I stand.

I can't help but think you've got some serious personal issue with Theo (it's been well enough publicised), given the way you seem to take small snips at him - see the HKS Mini Jam thread!

I do have an issue with him. I've told him that. He goes off half cocked about subjects he has no idea about. (See his rant on driver safety over the seat issue). I'll stop "carrying on like a tool" when theo does. As for wearing a mouth guard, I can't see anything happening there that wont land him in the disqualification basket - almost worth it. Don't be silly and make threats on other peoples behalf.

Lastly, I'll quote myself.

Great effort, theo. A low nine has been begging for quite a while. Well done.

Adrian

I understand and in some way agree with a couple of your points, but do you REALLY expect him to (and would YOU) voluntarily highlight a tyre change, when other factors have obviously come into it as well? It'd be a tough call to openly state that you've had to go away from a sponsors product to go faster.

Witness inumerable cases of professional race teams not using their sponsors products in all forms of motorsport...... Would Peter Brock tell us if he found that his Mobil sponsored car made another 30hp and ran cooler using Castrol oil products? - Me don't think so!

At the end of the day it's not mandatory to utilise your sponsor's product, it's simply a name on the car.

Please don't mistake my "mouthguard" statement as a threat, it wasn't meant to be, it was simply a method I'd be tempted to use if I was in his position, having to deal with people constantly trying to chop the poppy tree down! I can't/wouldn't speak for him.

I can understand some people's reaction to the way he can act at meets as i've witnessed it myself, but remember we're all different, and deal with stress and competition in different ways. Life would be pretty boring if we were all the same! Me? I love the way he gets all wound up, it adds to the atmosphere!

i would like to THANK all the people on this form that have congrats us on the PB . But the reason you get the shits with people is you just have to look at the way some people carry on on this forum,and have a shot at you and 4 what, we have run a pd and i thought people the follow GTRs would like to know but if some of you guys have a problem just ring me as i have said in the past 0418742486. Most of the people on here are great but then there is some the will have a shot at you for not much at all. I will be racing in sydney and would like to see a new pb but to run some more 9.3 would be just as good and i am shore that all of you would like to see a 9.3 side by side from mark and i, because i know i would.

fark oath theo

gongrats mate.

tire change has been needed or a while ay from my spectator point of view. just had no grip.

I got told it was BF streets tho not MT streets. but lol gossip ring is always wrong! :D

Congrats mate, cant wait to see it get quicker and quicker.

Get that GTR into the 8s. First 2.6 GTR into the 8s wont it be?

congrats again

Mick

Once again Ill say congrats to Theo. I'm for anyone batting on the import racing side and throwing time and money at it. Love to see the looks on the faces of the "traditional" drag racers i.e V8 pushrod boys, when a GTR runs runs low 9's@150+mph like Theo's or Mark's or Kier's. :D

Edited by gtr660hp

thanks wrxkilla would love to be the first 2.6 into the 8s but mark is hot on my heels and he has alot more data than i do at this stage. instead of being the first i would rather see mark and i do our first 8 s side by side, know there is history in the making.

Theo

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
