You know what this means for SKYROD B-Man...back to the workshop. :mad:

Hey but at least you got to give it some stick, and it's a better reason than getting 15's from lack of power. :D

Yeah - and I gave it a go , which was fun ! I can only get better from here , hey ?

BTW - after 2nd run, when I filled WSID with smoke and the announcer thought I had blown a turbo ha ha ha - I rang John straight away and asked him to order me a super duper clutch......

Dang - next thing that will go is the diff, then the gear box - ha ha ha ha ha

Pretty disappointing day if you ask me. Certainly not worth the $30 I paid at the gate thats for sure, infact i'd say that the 2 previous Wednesday nite street meets have been much better. The crowd was well.... their wasn't much of a crowd, even from 8-10pm when it was much cooler.

Well done to 2rismo, B-Man, PranK, Merli etc for displaying SAU for us :cheers:

I have to say i was a little disappointed as well, there was about 4 hours when there werent even any cars running (& the track was fine...). The whole 'Drag Combat' thing didnt even match up to a street meet for entertainment.

Auto Salon wont be seeing any more of my money for a while... the 8.4 run from WAR-700 was pretty cool, so was the 13.1 from 2rismo. (oh so close to a 12 from what i presume is a std turbo)

... and hats off to Merli, Prank & 2rismo and co ( i saw yor cars, couldnt see the owners :Oops: ) for ignoring the heat etc etc....

The Autostyle guys rocked up with their pack of cars, couldnt believe none of the cars ran, considering they are all claiming big power from the T88 setups.

Well we had fun, appart from the heat and some other factors, such as a blown 3rd and 4th gear, and then being stuck in 5th.

We got a 13.5 first run ever then a couple of 12.0's and then later a 11.9.

We are looking forward to Qld (appart from the heat) should have some better times as we will be going in with a fully rebuilt gearbox that we blow on Monday. Yes that is right 2 gear box's in less then a week.

So if anyone in Qld has a spare gear box that would like to lend us while we are there just in case, we would thank you.

If you are going to Qld and you see us say Hello!.

Also if anyone got some pics or video of the car can send me a copy [email protected].

Cheers

Heat was ridiculous, organisation was similar.

Roy, did you miss the car run 13.0 ?? ;-) I snuck in a grudge match against a 9 sec gemini for the 13.1 but the previous round in eliminations i went a tenth quicker at about the same terminal speed.

By the end of the night i was trying ANYTHING to get the shagged, hard tyres to work and snag a 12. It wasnt to be however the speed through the traps lends itself convincingly to a solid 12 so i'm happy.

Good to catch up with some people on the day as well - GTR700, hats off. I wouldnt wanna be in Andrej's racing booties for quids!

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
