hey charlie....where do i start,i took the car to hypa racing for alluminium wing,wheelie bars and light mods,he went over the car and gave me a call...then he broke the news,my aim for this car was to run low 7's once sorted and full power peak,looking to make 1400hp,he explained to me why it wont do it and went over,then he said once you pass mid 7's youll need a full floaitng rear end and so on,the car is an excellant light show/drag car for anyone looking to run low 8's mid to high 7's etc but i wanna get serious and push the car to its limits basically comptete with the big boys and its hard to say but this car wont do it...hypa racing said the only thing they can do is build me a new tube frame as quick as possible that being about 8 weeks,then about 4 weeks in a pint shop,being realistic about 4 months then were ready for the engine bay side of things...im stuck between a rock and a hard place....thats the way the ball rolls.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
