I could have gotten better but kept missing gears , oh well..

I think its not bad for stock turbo , stock management.

Missing gears?

Have you got a truck gearbox or something, how many gears can you miss?:)

reason i was missing third gear was because i thought i might try some redline shockproof.

I found its excellent for protecting the box but doesnt allow the syncro's to spin up quick enough. So i was having trouble getting third , just woudnt go in.

So i came home put ELF gearbox fluid back in and its back to normal.

So far the box is holding up but its getting whiny .... i think its on a life expiry ... going going BANGGGGGGGGGG

14.6 thats damn good for a almost stock car man !

I was down at the plex last meet with Imacul8 and noticed that the VT range of HSV's ( including Utes) where only running 14.7's and up.

Pretty lame for a hard arse car......

Why Jap cars are better than late model domestics part 1.

thanks guys at least im improving i think the car is able to do better its me that needs to perfect the techniques but im happy especially as its a auto and all. I might stick with it as stock this season then do some work - like pod and cat back exhaust, boost controller and see what the improvement is like

    • And this is the the thing with a high powered, AWD, heavy car. The engine is easy, the driveline costs just as much as the engine. 🤷‍♂️ Welcome to GTRland. Whatever you think your budget is, double it. Whatever you think your timeline is, triple it.
    • I thought I'd heard rumor of someone that was developing a 6 speed kit to convert the 5 speed box. But maybe I was thinking of the PPG 6 speed sequential? That's about half the price of a car...  
    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
