I`m not 100% on whether Jay let the plate go, that car will always be Chop Ya. I think he may have..

Zap, you make very good points. Cage is great IF you are wearing a helmet which at the track you are, on the street its going to get brains on it if you crash. I don`t know how much testing a bit of vinyl covered foam that goes over the bars has been subjected to. A purpose built cage is attached to atleast subframe rail connectors or better, its apart of the entire chassis structure. A bolt in partial cage? Hmmmmm. It might just meet minimum requirements and little else. I fully agree its uncharted waters, car manufacturers won`t generally throw a family car at along a concrete wall at 120 mph to simulate whats going to happen at a dragstrip, they`d maintain they build road cars. Basically I`m saying this ALL needs looking at with an even handed approach. We all see stuff at the drag strip that leaves us wondering. Cars are going quicker. Lots of people are attemping to break unofficial records that obviously they are going to be told they can no longer use the car on the track in its current state. that's pretty hard to legislate against or is it? I wonder that sooner or later they might just attempt that to cover their arse. The 4 point harness is the start.

Chop Ya is a Typhoon no?

I fully realise that ANDRA has not the personel to check every car and or make amendments to the rules they make. It has to be blanket or it`d bog down But.. If I hit the wall in my car ( god forbid) its going to be a pillow fight in the cabin. Sure, if your in a 120Y with a blown 400 chev you need a four point harness by jingo. But on the other hand a modern car with air bags and selt belt pretensioners is worlds away from some tack welded bucket of sh!t that Bevan and the crue have cobbled together in the back yard. However food for thought would be that even my stock chunker is doing 120 mph on a good night over the line. I wanna know what I`m gaining or giving up fitting a four point harness. When and were will it be policed?? Test and tunes okay? I thought that till we were out there at an ANDRA street meet thingo requiring a day licence and after the car posted a 137mph trap speed a chap in an ANDRA shirt came over and had an informal chat about being 3mph off requiring a parachute. But that was all.. Modern cars and tuning, I would think we need an entire rethink on how things happen at the dragstrip. I`m thinking I`ll pack it in.

PAUL!!!! I can see your house from here! I dun care who ya old man is, ya not dragging that threw my garden. Cross ya legs mate, I bent a nail. I could go on, but I`d burn for all eternity.

Shouldn`t we be thinking about Jeebus?

Bout as funny as my 1980`s style tyres bagging as the amber lights trip down last time I was there.. How embaressment. But I won, that's whats in the record book. What I`m really amazed, delighted with is how this has grown from one mans idea on a forum. But most importantly members of said forum are travelling from all over the eastern seaboard and in some cases bringing icon cars of the xr6t scene. This is gonna be bigger than Expo. If you don`t go your mental.

Brandon the ET may not be impressive but it will be a spectacle. The sporting world needs a few showman, my friend.

It`s over????? The South East Queensland Chat Thread - Ford XR6 Turbo.com - Page 331 Scroll to second last post... Needs to be confirmed.

MORE INFO????

As I reerd thet site ut sounded kiwi un my heerd, brew. I`ll stick with me K&N`s, thenks.

600 rwkw and street tyres? Now that would be a spectacle. I`d pay to see that.

Turbo on a Hyundai genisis ( spel) ? Says made in Korea eh? Other than that NFI?

My local dealer did my broken engine mount under warrantee despite me telling him it was tuned. I even did a 2 gear power skid when I left. Good times.

Aspects of your warrantee may be voided. If you have an issue and it can be directly atributed to a modifaction then you could be sh!t outa luck. It depends on the dealer. Some will have security escort you from the premises if you peel a warning decal off where another will honour the claim and takes Fords money. A dealer makes his money out of servicing. Generally not from new car sales. His existence is dependent on him value adding to his servicing with bogus crap like air conditoner servicing which is a shot of perfume, injector service - bottle of injector clean - or even muffler bearing inspection if he really has a dorsal fin. So you`d think it`d be in his interest to help you out. Go have a word with your dealer or local dealers and broach the subject. Anyway your Ford is a state of the art creation of utter precision built by craftmen and serviced by technicians of equisite abilty. Nothing will go wrong with it. Turn it up! you know ya wanna

If I direct burn a CD generally it will play it. If I make a CD with say an album on it and it came with bonus tracks on another disc, aslong as its not too many that`ll go too. But if there`s too many tracks it won`t so I`ll need 2 discs burnt and its a PITA. Oh and stupid question its not an MP3 disc?

That will need strict policing. No brand X or camry`s anyones mums cars allowed.

English Matt.. Its a rediculous language at times.

Lives? its Typhoon #003 isn`t it?? that's always stuck in my head for some reason..

VEry nice mild steel exhuast.. Zorst inovations do a more than adequate job. Very keenly priced also. Hi Torque workmanship appears visually good. I`m of the opinion if something looks good it generally is. Car sounds grouse. Good to see it on the road again. 003 lives!

I need a lot more time to get decent pics. I don`t do it enough.

BAD pics, taken where cars stood in total disregard of lighting or lack ther of.. Good catch up and chat.

Black rocker cover is that latest fashion accessory. Should have got an Atomic Carbon fibre coil cover. Its the sexiest ever most expensive add on that does bugger all. I really want one :(

detecting large areas of WIN in this sector, especially the AIR CLEANER that's now fitted. If we meet tonight I`ll take some pics with my camera, and tripod and everythink.

_Spin_ and teh freak possibley stylin` up at a popular venue tonight. He`s keen, but its thunder storm here and I need to wipe the dust off the Falcon. Sms either of us for details.
