9th out of 86 cars

brakes epic

handcock rubber heaps better than r888's

Great work Pete! Awesome result, especially considering your success ballast (you can successfully find beer and pizza better than most).

Seriously though, it's an awesome effort in a home built car done on a shoestring budget. Tight Wad Racing (TWR) FTMFW!

Nulon Nats done and dusted
turns out my love for 4wheel smoke shows from the start line has taken it toll on the little os twin plate
Buladelah is a epic fun little track
even better when run one is also the recce run
run two and the clutch gave up was flaring through all gears
Duncan got it running and i babied it up the hill one more time
then game over. had to start it in gear to get it on the trailer
still managed 10th outright on a slipping clutch run
this may be the one that got away as the car with a working clutch would have been in the top 3 sleasy as
anyway here is the vid... listen to that f**ker slip in 3rd and 4th



there were some epic crashes
one evo rolled 3 times that f**ker was lucky and f6 tanked a embankment so hard it kinked the roof
cage time for me

next weekend off to ec see if i can run a low 40
os tripple will be in tomorrow so that should allow me to break things other than the clutch

just some other pics

and who says 310-350rwkw + front and rear LSD's + uphill hill climb launches+ soft 295 semis are good for a twin plate

i would say its done about 100 launches in its 5k of driving and lots of clutch kicking mid corner when off boost

was not blue when i stuck it in

lol

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
