Yeah not a bad ride. Does 1:15 round Sandown and ran at Calder 11.02 straight off the street.

Kinda fun when yr in it too. Going round corners and heading down the straights is a new experience in this car, even for me :P

Exceptional work Benno.

PS. Both cover cars are FangArtists too :D

Ben still wears womens underwear on his head!

If he was a real man he would have shown us his HUGE Wang in the photo-shoot. Biggest Wang in town.

Fangartists is a car club full of fun boys, fat controllers, mr mums, vino's, frauds, bean counters and other portugese chicken eating fiends.

And Snowballs and hybrid Skyline sh!tebox drivers with faulty cooler piping :rolleyes:

The ave power output of the Fangartist cars would be about the 300+rwkw with 4 cars making over 500+rwkw.

From what I remember, he said he was out on a bit of a cruise and while passing Calder decided to give it a run.

He had to borrow long sleeves from someone coz he was wearing a tshirt (as always).

He did his 11 and drove out and continued cruising.

Hmmmm 11.02 is that right or is that just Ben talking things down again, pretty sure he ran a high 10 at calder last year.....

lol. Yeah that was my mate Marks shirt, he's all of 50kg's so you could imagine what Ben looked like when the sleeves ended just past his elbows....You're right he was just out for a cruise and only made 3 passes then pissed off early. I'm pretty sure his last pass was into the tens and Calder was bloody slippery that night. I note in the speed article it says 11.00 so sounds like he has just rounded it off. As you know he doesn't really give a shit about the 1/4.

Well the rex aint mine and the "bit more" is needed for the upcoming new family addition!

But honestly I don't think I have the tackle to drive that car to it's potential anyway. Its been shown to do a 1.15 at Sandown and yet I'm still scaring the crap outta myself trying to catch your 1.23 mate! And thats going fast enough for me without going 8s faster! (BTW - I've got your time in my sights in a couple of weeks! lol)

You still got your car anyways mate? We should catch up for a beer or something soon!

Not that you would ever use that amount, you cant even bring your car TOO a drag day, let alone race it.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
