I went to the autosalon but i could not wait around all day for the best car at show to run so i missed out on the run.

Looks great and congrats on the win!!! Good to see a RB win a event ;) woulda been different if Miss 2j ran... Anyone know what is up there? =)

Cheer's thanks for the support...

Miss 2j is busted...catestrophic engine failure.

While we did go on the dyno, our car is no dyno queen. We'd be happy to match "miss 2j" up against our beast at the strip...12.2 with her husband driving is far from impressive, and a 1.36 around Wakefield is very poor...Stace runs 11's with only 350kw, and im sure a standard Supra could beat that wakefield time quite easily. A car with a 1000rpm power band does not really "float my boat"....But if thats their thing good luck to them, we rather enjoy what we have built than look at it in a show. Don't get what i have said here the wrong way, as both Jodi and Ross are lovely people, its just a little tiring people comparing our cars all the time. They built theirs to win show trophy's we built ours to race.

The engine build is on par with RH9, JUN, DEVLISH, GTR700 and other monster's that have come out of the CRD garage, the only thing stopping this engine from making big dyno numbers is the size of the turbo(s). Nothing more.

Dave...may take you up on the CDI offer mate.

i understand where your comming from and i agree totally. Its just a show car and nothing more. Just a shame that it keeps blowing up..... would cost soooo much money ;)

Keep up the good work the car looked great!

rumour has it the last bottom end was a $30 000 Titan Motorsports item from the states.

ouch!

ahh how the hell did they manage to break it then? somethings obviously not right with their combo,,,

i heard the reason why it cost soo much money was because they made her change the management system. the engine only need pistons and a head to fix from the last blow up.

I wonder if we will see this car out on the dyno again.

yeah maybe the compression is too high or the plenum does not flow correctly ;)

more like ...way too much timing caused excessive heat and melted pistons, valves and head.

anyway...this is our thread...not theirs...lol

if that's the case, and i was them, i'd be finding myself a new tuner

They are up to their third tuner now i believe. Its a definate setup problem.

What power does this 2j make? or did make before it blew?

Cause those times say pretty pathetic, or the driver/s are.

it was around 750 - 800rwkw

Back on topic now - just answered the questions.. no more about this 2j.

It wouldn't be the first time a Supra has run a 12 but I bet it was at eleventy billion mph...

Paul, gimme a buzz on the mobile if you want to run at Supernats.

2rismo, thanks as per phone call...ever thought of being a puppeteer...you certainly know how to pull a few strings.

turbo's HKS GT-RS items

capacity 2600cc

static CR one thing ill be keeping to ourselves (im sure you understand)

What about you promise to tell us when you reach a certain ET? I'm dying to know.

it means nothing...

our number plate reads TWO.06L...meaning two point six litre.

some people when making up custom plates use a 6 as a G

my mate one day was looking at the plate and asked us "what does twoogl mean"?

we had a laugh and explained to him that it meant 2.6litre...and that the 6 was not meant to be a G but actually a 6...

he said nah stuff it im now gonna call it "twoogle"

this name stuck and has grown to even been included in the drag records lists and in magazine articles

its weird how some nicknames evolve and stick

Which is why I wonder why people don't call me Abo Gob...

Looking good Paul. All the best for tomorrow and the rest of the assault.

    • You're retired Mark, on bin night, go for a walk, kind of like you're doing the beep test. Put one rock in the first neighbours, come back, get another rock, go to the second neighbours, repeat over many weeks. All rocks eventually gone...
    • No chop chop of anything mate, it is what it is, plus, I don't want any air that isn't either going through the cooling stack or intake getting into the engine compartment increasing under bonnet pressure  Yeah, the Mazda Speed aftermarket intake above is less than ideal for multiple reasons, the requirement to remove the bumper every time you need to service the filter, and also smaller in diameter than the NC1 OEM one Weirdly, Mazda Speed is part of the Mazda motorsport division, "form over function" and $$$$$ for Mazda from unsuspecting punters I suspect  After some googling about them it seems they added no power, but do increase some induction noise Meh In other news, the electricians have been busy today at the house, and are back tomorrow finishing up all the security stuff and exterior lighting, they also added some lighting on the garage ceiling, which will come in handy when working in the garage when it's not freezing out there My Birdies raised garden bed also arrived today as well, which I'll put together and place tomorrow, it's a big tall Bessie, 74cm high, 92cm wide and 214cm long, this will come in handy as I am starting to get "stockpiles" of good soils from doing landscaping, some of the clean rock, namely the river stone, will go into the bottom of the bed for drainage, as well as the old Apricot tree that was out the back,  and when it's full, I'll grab another one, I will be growing enough veggies to keep me both busy as well as supplementing the shopping list I'm also awaiting another quote for a new Colourbond front fence, as the "1980 style cemented in rock edging" that was there and "fashionable at the time" looked arse, and my god, the amount of cement used to fix the rock was insane, it took 1.5 days for me to break out 12 meters of the stuff by hand, trim the bushes back to the fence line and dump it out the back of the joint to deal with at a later date,I will soon need a skip bin to tip it all Unfortunately they did alot of the cemented in rock around the joint, which I hate, so a few pallets of retaining wall blocks for around the front and back where the cemented in rock is will be required to bring it up to a standard, and look, that I will be happy with 12 meters worth of rock and cement Finished smashing the fence line and ready for a fence to be installed, yes, the lawns need some TLC and thickness, the previous owner trimmed the grass to the roots 😢, the TLC I can provide, and nature over time will do the rest And there's probably about another 40 meters worth of this landscaping abomination left to do around the front and back gardens, I'm guessing maybe 3 or 4 tons worth, tip fees for this will be a killer Meh, all in all I'm having fun and keeping busy, plus, it's good PT
    • If I drove to a typical petrol station, what would my choices of fuel be? 
    • Just cut the bottom of the guard out. It's no longer got a big duct, to a sealed box, or a restriction. It has all the cold air from outside. Also, that cai you showed looks terrible. Bends are NOT good for go gos!
    • Like I said, "black magic" LOL In the end,  it is what it is, and hopefully, what this here knuckle head has done is an improvement and not a hindrance Not that I actually notice any negatives now, or that I will get any seat of the pants benefits when all is said and done, but best practice says I shouldn't be pulling intake air from the hot engine bay  Famous last words: I cannot see it being any worse than what it is at the moment 🤔
