Indeed. Did some car fixing today, 2 steps forward, one step back. Oh well I'll have another go at it tomorrow and it'll be sorted.

More work means more fun ultimately

Sounds like burning the candle at both ends lol

I would be busy too if I'd just moved into a new place with my wife

About bloody time

I have a built ZF from RVO with a Dominator modified stock converter, and it has handled over 1000hp at the wheels through my awd territory. I'm currently using the same box at a bit over 500awkw and it shifts great. It all comes down to the tune with a ZF, as the wrong tune can quickly destroy a built box in no time. Apparently the boost solenoid can get a bit sticky with age and some wd up it's guts will loosen it up. You can replace it with a Mac valve, although you may require a tune touch up, especially if you decide to use a 4 port version.

Yay Monday Last day of the school holidays for my kids, first day back doing stuff for me. Might take the boat out by myself tomorrow if the weather holds up and I have time

They are 100% aftermarket springs. The car has a tunable electronic boost controller in the pcm and has a boost solenoid from factory. Check to see where the vacuum line from the turbo goes, it should be going to a boost solenoid that is under the fuse box. On 98 you will be making at least 20psi to have 400rwkw. That's the end of that then lol. Search the forum to see what people have done for upgrades. Call a workshop for current pricing.

Should do alright

They send them out to dry the track. It didn't work. There wasn't any racing involved and most of the lap except the front straight was sedate.

It got rained out but I got a few wet laps in. AWD is good but the car still doesn't hook under 100kph when it's wet. I think they are having it on again next weekend, so I'll get back there and hand out the chop.

My car is making a bit over 700hp at the wheels, it's on boost instantly, straight to peak torque thanks to the converter and will hook up from a 50 roll. I give it a solid maybe/10

Yeah they are up there, but not in the last post. We all see the same thing once stuff is posted anyway.

I've taken a stock converter to 3000rpm or further a number of times and I've heard from reputable sources that 800rwkw is where the converter gets unhappy. You left at 1500 last time, next time try 2000 then work your way up. The turbo is much bigger than stock so you might need to give it a lot more to get it going. Something to consider is the tailshaft will snap if you launch it too hard, pretty sure 10psi is the danger zone for a stock FG tailshaft. You'll be around 20psi to make the 400rwkw so you'll nearly guarantee a broken tailshaft if you launch the fark out of it. Just keep an eye on how much boost it's making. If it launches slowly after stalling it up or cuts the throttle while doing so, the tune might need addressing to let it stall up properly.

You should get an 11.7 with that mph. Your 60ft is very slow and that's where all the time went.

Car is still going hard, gonna go to roll racing tomorrow and hand out the chop. Will bring the laptop and turn it up more if needed lol.

Up the butt 👉👌

Never, it's a 2 stroke

Here's a couple of pics

Ok I bought a boat, here's a pic.

Boat licence acquired, a whole bunch of fit out and other stuff acquired, boat is ready for action. Just gotta wait for a semi decent day and get out there!

French fries mofo

What a mob of bastards. Go find some used equipment and set something up in your garage. You'd be shocked at how little equipment I've used to big and strong.

Haven't pulled a deadlift since Xmas. Tonight we decided a family deadlift comp was in order. I pulled 220kg with some in the tank, wife pulled 80kg, 12yo son pulled 70kg, 7yo daughter pulled 40kg. Other kids didn't have good form so we're banned from pulling lol. Not bad for not training fark all this year, gonna be slack for a while then farken send it again next the end of winter. I just don't care enough to stay huge and strong when it's just me by myself.
