4,6 and Rotor Nats

[Chris32]

Chris,  

          Ben's Supra "should" be there. The guys are putting in some long days/nights to get it ready in time.  

The new exhaust manifold was finished last wk. It's a damn tight fit to get the 1000+hp turbo, w'gate, & huge dump pipe in there! Unfortunately the custom rods couldn't make it in time from the US so they've put together an interim engine package.

Cool, good to hear, as I know he was very keen to get it going for the Nats

Looks like its going to be a hot one, might have to switch from the Elf LMS to methanol Matt, it will run nice and cool then

Have you had it re-tuned with the fancy fuel yet?

[whatsisname]

No haven't done the LMS tune yet. We've been holding off for a cool day, but as that's just not going to happen we'll do it tomorrow evening.

I got a drum of tolulene/methyl benzine to whack in my toy for the weekend .... does anyoe know whether this affects the 'street driven' rating or not? I'd imagine not (given it's a major ingredient in most octane boosters).

In reagrds to HPI times etc?

As far as I understand you can use any type of unleaded fuel with octane booster, just not fuels such as methanol or alcohol etc?? Might be wrong though, not 100% sure

[whatsisname]

Turbomax, LMS, tolulene, methyl benzine, HKS 'Drag Gas' (probably ELF), Sunoco, C16, C21 & the like are all acceptable within the HPI reg's. Methanol, alcohol & nitro aren't.

The 'race' R33 wont be ready for another month or so - hoping to debut at the Perth Drag combat meeting - maybe.

We are making some changes to the street R33 - more boost & agressive tuning - should be

all sorted for Sat. But - if it is 40 degrees I dont know if I'll race it. May wait till evening to see if it cools down.

I believe Keir is going for the outright record (to beat Croydons 8.55) - hope he does it - will be awesome to see. Also Theo from Brisbane street machines is supposed to be bringing his R32 with a T88 fitted - should be real fast.Ran 10.5 recently & they are looking for 9s.

If my street R33 runs, will be hoping for 10s, but being full weight I wont hold my breath.

Even if it is a scortcher during the day, it should make for some great night racing.

See u all there.

Trying to talk Cheeky into racing her car - I think she needs some more encouragement.
