they are plenty of nine second cars in the east that are street legal dude.i dont know the wa laws that well,nsw,old,vic probably have all different laws. :unsure:

There may well be plenty of cars that are street legal that do 8's 9's 10's, whatever.

This isnt one of them.

B0BB0 isnt only some dude who I once saw on the street then read about doing a 10, hes one of my best friends. I know the car isnt street legal for WA.

thanks mate,now i know.didnt know he was your mate,still it would be cool if it was street legall :unsure:

was there last wednesday and saw the run, congrats bobbo is one hell of a car... We were perplexed (pun intended) at the 10.26 @ 197 kph though, as to get a low 10 sec pass you'd need to be trapping at well over 23kph.. You missed 5th true but still to me doesn't explain the speed.. Did they stuff up the MPH perhaps? The ET is definitely correct...

EVL R33,

It's possible to have a low trap speed for the time if you didn't need to push the car to obtain it (car is capable of much faster times). I'd say given the slow terminal this thing has perhaps a mid 9 in it, with all things being somewhat equal.

Not any more, considering I saw it last night in WA.

Met the new owner Danny last night, top bloke, car is immaculate as well.

Yeah I was down there on the night also, 'Run Me' is definately here although sporting new plates...Car looks awesome!

Saw a few of Bobbos starts from pit lane, pretty damn impressive, made my 11 second pass.....okay okay 11.9 :) look like i was just driving to the shops :)

I think the low MPH was due to the miss of 5th gear, if you look at the vid on youtube you can see for approx 50m before the line the car is just rolling, hence i would have lost speed. thats what i put it down to.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
