Well done man. I bet that makes all the late nights working on the car after work worthwhile now?!

Reece's car is in a totally different catagory. Bloody lightweight, stripped out race car on slicks with a HKS2.8l egine. Theo's rocket is a full weight, full interior(except stereo and back seat) street based car on street radials running the factory 2.6l crank/capacity.

Keir Wilson's street radial time is well within reach now. 8.89 at 160 at jambo a couple of years a ago with an OS 3.0l and much lighter car as well. I take it that is the next nymber you are chasing hey?!

rec 0.432

60 1.427

330 3.859

660 5.853

mph 124.24

1000 7.542

ET 8.957

mph 159.86

kph 257.27

genuine congratulations theo.

it will be nice to see that 60 foot drop with the slicks.

159 mph is quick, proves its making good horsepower.

reaction is good too.

hopefully you can take this into competition and gets some wins on the board.

shane >_<

big marky J will be back for the grabbing , but big congrats

The fact that Mark tuned the car for Theo this time shows the sort of bloke Mark Jacobsen is and an example of the friendly rivalry in the sport, no cloak and dagger stuff you find in other forms of motorsport. These two guys (theo and mark) are so approachable and the first ones who will be around to give a bit of advice and share the knowledge they have.....top stuff fella's.

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
