optimax is gay.. mine don't like optimax sometimes and it has schisms.. Mobil 8000 or Ultimate.

Aw...poor nark has an inferiority complex :D

haha.. yer, right - soon as you tune the SAFC up it will be using *more* petrol.. mine is shocking.. try $50 for 350km :D

What boost it running? So does it have that like TV display/control thingo? they are pretty cool.

An idea for my next cheap car :P but i am not sure whether i want the big boat thing going on. I might just get a little road rocket.

thats what a 1/4 mile is Rob, yup :D

Will be interesting! Where abouts Nark? Calder?

Might come and watch.. it is pretty hard to line up against another car at Calder these days though Ni. We were trying when we got a few SAU guys a while back, and none of could manage to line up against each other - its just too complicated and they don't really cater for it properly :D

    • I'll just leave this with, holy shit, those cars at work are awesome, and this will look wicked!
    • Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...
    • Do you have any before and after photos? That's $200 just for the hydro blasting?
    • It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
