but it blew up ;) I can up my boost to 30 psi and it would make a nice figure, but may have a similar outcome.

Exactly!

:)

Ever notice too how some people always have some "buffer" excuses about the power/speed of their car, like:

"Oh I made 300rwkw, but I had a leak in the intercooler ... so I could get more power"

"I ran a 11.0 second quarter, but I was running lower boost ... so the car could go faster"

The key word is "could". You could, but didn't. When I drag raced, I was cutting 11.08 sec timeslips at best. Had another guy claim he could run a high 10sec. That guy could have, but didn't ... he popped his engine. My engine consistently put up with the abuse, and delivered the timeslips to back it up. Worse time ever was a 12.4 after a stall.

When I raced bikes at Mallala, I was running 1m17s times. Other racers said they could do a 1m17s also, but never delivered. Always some excuses about bad tyres or wrong suspension setting. If you had it right when you ran your "1m17s" you'd be consistent at it all the time.

Numbers are only serious when they're on paper and consistent.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
