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 going to argue with you last statement there mate.

If only I had $120K....

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

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
