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.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
