And Matt, GenX2 is ADR approved....

I want to make around 700hp (about 440rwkw or so) without forced induction using the LeMans developed Corvette C5R endurance racing components. Nothing like having a big cranky lump of alloy under the bonnet

That's icing on the cake really. Full ADR approval, 11sec 1/4's and defect free.

Many thanks to Mark from www.pulsarparts.com.au for this happy snap. This was my first burnout attempt from Sat night. Piss poor as per usual.

My last effort of the night was actually very close to a REAL burnout, as I held it for 3x the length of this one.

Matt,

How do you go holding the burnout for a length of time.

I find if I change gears I loose my brakes.. Hence go from first to second it won't hold. The brake pedal goes hard and creeps slowly forward.

Gotta luv the tread pattern on those tyres but. :D

Martin,

The old saying.. "There's no replacement for displacement" :)

The ol' 5ltr didn't cut it for me, especially the ol GM 5ltr with its crappy banana manifold.

Honestly though what will the putting around fuel consumption of a new generation 427 beast be like?

Joel,

I line up in the water, select 2nd, pop the clutch at 4k or so and then let the torque do the rest. The car still moves a little bit but only because I'm still getting the hang of side stepping the clutch and jumping onto the brake in one quick movement.

The trick is to "start" the burnout in the water (purely to reduce drivetrain stress) and then when ready ease forward until you're out of the water. Once on the dry stuff it "should" start to generate smoke and heat.

Dean, Martin uses these tyres - Apr3_14_04.jpg

I think it was pretty nicely moderated after martins lashing out at me after he suggested we race for money and naming me a tosser and having a go at my car because its 15 year olds and ugly, and he could hav bought at least 15 with the money he has spent on the ute.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
