WHOOOOOOT!. Who said wheelchairs cant fly. Did a best of 13.8 tonite. COOOOOOL!~

Ben ran strong all night posting some good 13.6's at around 110 mph. AD_N finally learnt how to launch a gtr and ran some strong low 13 second passes. Big Chris did a pb in the 4 door auto taxi.

There were a lot of lines there tonite, some real sleepers too. hot gtr running 11's, super sleep gtst plain white no wing no nuthin running low 12's in the 120 mph bracket.

Young Andy had his first taste of the drags in his new 32 and had a ball. I think he got dizzy from just going round the loop to do another pass. He's hooked. Devils advocate Adam borrowed my lid for a couple of passes and showed how to break traction in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th. Thank gawd he ran out of road cos i think he may have lit 5th up too.

What a great night. pb's everywhere and lines galore so to all of you that said you were coming then found your yellow blood count was too high I say....Stiff shit. You missed a great night of lines at play.

Did a best run of 13.38 at the end of the night! so pleased with that. had an awesome night thanks Noel for dinner. stoked you got your 13.8 well done, gem might put some pics up later.

13.38. !!!!KEEEWWWWLLLL Ben. you gotta be happy with that man.

haha did adam have his cheese cutters on the back did he? :)

good to see he hardened the f*ck up :(

much of a crowd there this week?

yeah it was busy courtesy of a harley day but once they f**ked off it wasnt too bad. Toward the end of the evening you could get about 4 runs in half an hour if you wanted.

As happy as you were with yours, should organise going on wednesday nights, get some more runs in.

Wednesdays rock Ben. I think we maybe should try and organise at least one wednesday line night a month. i am definitely up for it.

Yes i love my no traction tyres they were awesome, only got two runs in, First time doing this shit pulled out a 14.7 on the first run with 1.3 reac and 2.7 60FT cant remember the speed, 2nd run bit better 1.1 reac 2.3 60FT 14.1 sec quater at 106 mph too much wheel spin damn it lol, and that was in line with changing at or before 6000 rpm, meh good base to work at

Nice night out, really enjoyed the 8 second action from that Series 6 RX7... WOW...

Got to catch up with the regular TnT gang...

Plus I got valuable info from the on of the ford boys on tyres and rims to use for my car as he had a similar power output...

He ran a 11.09 @ 129mph with a 330rwkw XR6T and made some huge smoke :( so I think i know what ill be buying now...

FYI ----> MT ET Radials 255/60/16 and run about 17-18psi tyre pressure...

Edit: Ill add some photos later...

Also I have to add, there was no accidents and no stops tonight...

So it was one of the best Saturday night events ive been too...

Apart from the Harley Boys getting preference all the time and getting like every second run (but who would complain as they are big, hairy and have many tattoo's), once they left the runs seemed to flow nicelly... Adam (devils) you left too early, you coudl have got another 2 or 3 in before 9pm...

Arrrr well...

thats a good call Col. The last 30 minutes was like happy hour. Just go round and round as quick as you could and get in about 4 runs in 30 minutes.

Nice. I didn't even realise there was a SAU club day on and saw all you guys out there. I ran 12.1 @ 124mph. I wasn't trying for ET, just wanted to see what sort of MPH I could run as I know a good ET was never going to happen with a stock stall converter and large turbo. Just need to get rid of that stock stall converter, fit a less restrictive exhaust and aim for low 11's - high 10's. :(

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
