Ugh what a shocking night :( :(

* Bad gear selection problems on all 5 runs

* Ben can't drive

* New rear muffler is super restrictive so I had no top end and low boost

* Ben can't drive

* Paul decides their aren't enough clouds in the sky so makes his own

* Ben can't drive

* Mark has a damaged gearbox

Ah well I still did a new PB's for everything (R/time, 60ft, TS, ET) so I guess I got what I set out to do. I'll be out there again sometime over the next month hoping for a massive improvement.

f**king worst experience of motoring i have ever done

shithouse f**king gearbox. did not wanna break it (so i would be around long enough for the burnout comp!!) so launched off slicks with low revs - bog down and get shithouse times

whack some streeties on. cant get into 2nd gear on the drag.

then burnout comp. car works for 30 seconds. then lose all power

f**k cars

wish i had a 6 pack in the fridge right now

Nick you bastard you didnt even say hi !!! :blink:

First time ever out on the drag strip.....so yeah not too pissed off but not too happy either about the 13.9.

What did piss me off was the fact that I only got 3 runs in the space of 3 hours......

Mark once again thanks for lending me the helmet......and I hope ya can get ya car up and running again..

Paul and Stace it was nice to finally meet yall :D

Lets hope it IS an oil seal and nothing major........

Did someone say twin HKS 3037s ???? :D

Ruk thanks for the ciggies between the runs........helped calm the nerves :D hehehehe....

Mona you suck at being pit crew......haha only kidding....thanks for coming out :)

Ok now that all the thankyous etc are out of the way.....I have to say that I now have a lot more "respek" for this drag racing thing....its not as easy as I thought.....and wsid only being 10min from my house...I think I could get addicted :D

but nah....have to stay true to circuit racing...

Oh and Pete...ie fatz....I cant beleive you carry an esky with you everywhere you go !!!!! oh and when can I get one of them clutchfcuker shirts ?? :D

hahahaha....

Edited by shonen

sounds like a busy night. did you run nick?

What kind of time did paul run before the failure?

and ben, must be good to be out in the GTR mate. i think we need to work on those short times though :P with the 104mph you should be able to drop down that time a bit without needing any more power. congrats though on breaking into the 13 sec zone :O:) :)

yeah pete is great eye candy to have around too. only problem is i can never score when he's near by as all the chicks are fighting each other to get into his pants.

lol i go once a year

and every time i go i say man that was boring as shit... what a waste of time... and once again i left with the same feeling

mind you he two scouters running a 29's each was a highlight

the gtr that blew the turbo seal man you should have heard it at half track lol id say 10-20 seconds away from a massive engine blow up go the 5 cylinder gtr

marks car is dead and might have ripped its last burnout for a while

best part was the burnout truck ... yea baby

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
