Turbo swaps are hard try reinstalling the powerfc first... :D Couldn't help myself...

Seriously maybe Dirt's still holding 3rd gear so he doesn't exceed 140mph...

Good luck over the weekend Paul & Mark..

it launched off the line with too much power/throttle turning the tyres, then at the top of 2nd blew the intercooler hose off the turbo outlet....still ran 10.23... :)

ill pull 4th if the 1st half of the run is in order and get logged for no chute...till i get it together there is no point running it out the back door.

100k on a car

its log booked already ya flogger

id rather get logged (booked for non compliance) for a 9.46 @ 148 than run a 9.9* @ 141 and have to park the car at a 4 day meet.

thrashing the sh1t out of expensive engines when you know at 1/4 track the thing is not on a screamer is foolish to say the least.

please crawl back under the pile of sh1t you just appeared from fatz. (my new sig...lol)

lol

im still in third

gold!

sounds like an ad for a Ford ute. :)

yes i realise fabricating brackets and mounting a parachute is inevitable...my car was late arriving in QLD and we were pressed for time at Godzilla this week preparing Marks car to return to the track.

all my 9 second passes have been done as a 3 speeder. 3rd gear @ 9100rpm = 139MPH! over 140MPH requires extra safety gear and the chute.

more work required on the car before Jamboree to optimise the set-up.

Big thanks to Mark, Harry, Murdy and Scott for their efforts.

car is fine...Marks is getting close too, bit too much clutch on the 7.92 and black-tracked to 1/2 track.

if Mark's car wasn't finished we were planning on swapping the chute over to my car. It will be all sorted for Jambo in August.

yea superlap rocked..... everyone there said your a crumpet but i thought you were quite fetching and nice

in newy every second week.. come say hi i love talking in person

good meet, weather held out nicely, and seen Mark do all his runs, also had a chat to Paul, very helpful and showed me a few things as well, i didnt get to see Pauls runs because the rest of the people i was with didnt wanna sit around watching street cars, they struggled to watch the super compact at the start but soon changed there tunes and said they were really good (these guys are the crew for a 5.7 sec funny car so they not into the non v8 stuff). A few of the boys on the crew are keen on 2jz's now lol :P

So how did the rest of the runs go Paul? Did you see how Theo went also?

That white datto ute with 4g63 was crazy, great to watch wheelstanding on gearchanges lol, absolute weapon!!!

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
