Nah not gonna make it to Jambo, trying to get the car ready for the next Andra meet at Mackay so the car can be inspected and get my license all passed out that way there will be nothing stopping us from going flat out.

Yeah Mike the engine does sounds incredible and the way it revs is unbelievable so quick and smooth and the classic RB bark when it hits boost always makes me smile every time i drive it. Mark at Godzilla Motorsport has out done himself on this engine it is truly one awesome bit of gear and that's why he is Australia's quickest, top work i give him two thumbs up lol thumbsup.gifthumbsup.gif!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's some more progress pics, parachute bracket is made just has to be TIG welded up and painted looks pretty good. The new dry sump tank arrived and is nearly completed, came up pretty good, not a lot of room but we made it work. Now she is all legal for ANDRA just waiting for the license paperwork to come back then its time to burn some rubber and go get ourselves a 9sec slip.

Update time

After our last drag meet, Andra decided to let us run flat out providing we put a Kevlar blanket on the Tranny (one time offer) then after that we must comply with the new Andra rule book and make a 6mm steel scatter shield for the flywheel. So at the moment he engine and box have been dropped out getting some more and improved mods and some more go fast bits (but i will keep them secret for now). We have nearly achieved our goal with the 19 inch Advans, 10.1sec @ 141mph with 1.5sec 60ft., the 60ft is the surprising part as you would normally get them times on 16 or 17 mickey thompson's ET's . Had a fairly big headwind that night and the track conditions were slippery will try for a 9 sec on the 19's later on. Next time we go out we will be running the 17 inch Enkei RPF1's with the 275 Mickey Thompson ET's. and will push for a low 9sec. Tested the parachute out, works like a treat very happy with the way it performs, definitely need it now as we are nearly pushing 150mph.

Here's some pics and vids, my favorite one is the 4th gear burnout puts the local falcodore's to shame, can do a awesome skid look out powerskid comp at Powercruise the N1 is coming to make lots of smoke.

    • 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!
