I would if I knew that I was definitely going to be there. Since I have never driven the thing, I can't nominate anything. I will just be happy if the car runs.

John, what time and MPH do you think you will run?

i did 104mph last time max

this time ill change to 4th a lil earlier

Best the car has done was 14.0 something with my Son at the wheel last drag day. I could only manage 14.2 something.

We are both pumped to bypass the 13's and go straight to the 12's. Would appreciate any hints on how to acheive this on the day.

Don't be shy. Let us know how to do this stuff as we are both newbies to this game.

See you there.

ps. And I mean it, come and say gday and give us some pointers if you can.

anyone care to race my Everlasts down the quarter???? maybe a 5 lane race for those of us with broken cars :):( it would be an easy win to them cause i reckon by half track i would have passed out :) :) :)

ok i am still waiting on my converter and transmission to arrive from Melbourne - which I have been advised will turn up Friday.

I still need to also put the Diff back in the car, new exhaust, and a shitload of other things that just wont happen.... like TUNE THE CAR....

But if the car is there im hoping for a 10 second pass this time

    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
    • There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...
    • With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
