Stacey, why wait for the next Drag Combat? We have monthly dinners, near weekly meetups and cruises, as well as trackdays (Eastern Creek, Wakefield and Oran Park) organised at least once a month!!!

As for a front on shot, how about this one? :P

Errr....

That's the first time I have taken them out however they had 2 passes on a fairly serious XR6T before I bought them.

I was concerned about the reduction in sidewall costing the squat effect of the 50 series however the 5mm less top and bottom seemed to make no difference when accompanied with the extra 30mm/tire width.

245/50/16 60' - 1.697

275/40/16 60' - 1.694

Wear doesn't seem to be too bad considering I drove up and back on them as well. However I scooped and scraped a hard ball of rubber BIGGER than a tennis ball off of the guards!! Will post pics if I get to it.

Adrian

Damn fine pics here guys :):) Merli, what camera is it that you use again?? and did it cost you an arm and leg to buy???

Adrian - what size rims do you have the 275's mounted on?? i wanted some Nitto's for the 200SX but cant find any 8.5/9" rims to fit them on at a decent price.... I know the above rim is probably the best width but if they will fit on a smaller rim it would make it easier i guess......

Deciphered..

good effort 2rismo..

Congratulations Adrian, you pulled some great times and even better burnouts...

and the rest of yas..

Some of the other times were ok too, but in my mother's Charade I think I could chop them silly...

2rismo i herd aboutur crazy mirage from a mate in my tec class

All the lads at the schoolyard are talking about your burnouts, we soaked the carpark in diesel to try and get some of that smokescreen happening, but alas we cannot compare.

crazy canon angles :) ahah

See that girls jugs? Phwoar! That Sarkis reversing gerhl had a set on her too!

Hope I did some justice :D

    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
