WSID - 7th of Feb this year - Testing the auto and driving like an amateur trying to watch too many things :)

GOOD: Launching without wheel spin, how hard the 3-speed shifts, screamer

BAD: Slippery as hell converter, driving like a monkey!

MPH was down because of the converter (now rectified) being WAY too loose. No Nitrous on any of those runs either. That was all about learning to drive the auto, testing the converter to find out just how loose it really was and practicing launch techniques with the footbrake. MPH came straight back up to 117.34 with the converter change (tighter/lower) without gas.

Nice vid, good quality :laugh:

Was that rx7 stock? Is that what they run stock 13.8?

Will be great to see a vid when you have everything sorted :nyaanyaa:

I've got no idea who it was in the other lane or what they run from the factory, sorry. You're not the only one that can't wait to see a sorted pass! :nyaanyaa:

Video is great quality as supplied by Madman from Cackling Pipes - link in my sig.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
