Anyone keen too catch up at the drags at ruapuna on the 22 of november? I wanna have a crack at some jappas and 8's. Would be good if another xr6t turned up.

[xr6turboman]

Would love to - but I'm overseas until the end of the month.... Just trying to get it sorted out before I get back lol..

There is no way my clutch would hold up to the beating of racing it lol.

I'm not sure mine will last either as she has 100k on the old girl now but I'll find out. It's lasted with 280atw so far with some angry driving but I never launch to hard and I dont use the gearbox to slow me down well not with out a wee kick on the gas any way.

Looking at your mods dude you should do the waist gate and flapper when you get the other gear bolted on. It was not a fun job but worth it and cheep pm avo turbo world I got my injectors of them too at half what I could buy them for here. I'm assuming you'll have it tuned. I wonder if your 20's are stressing your clutch? But eh they would look sick

[xr6turboman]

Yea well I think it does look pretty good Lol Havve wondered if 20s wouldn't be helping the clutch

[Madwhip]

It does look good. What brakes are they did the 20's have much affect on the braking? Mine is black also I'm going to tint the side blinkers when I tint it.

[xr6turboman]

They're just stock brakes, Dunno how 20s compare to stockies as car had 20s on when I brought it. Has all new rotors that havn't quite beeded in yet so havn't stomped on them properly lol. When you up the rim size you normally down the tyre size so there isn't THAT much diffence..

Well did not make the drags, I installed the new oil feed line from etm last Friday. But I broke the fitting that holds the factory filter. Not the one cost me $140 from fraud . Be careful when you do this job. I also installed a walbro 40 fuel pump. I took my car out for a late night shake down and give it a launch so I knew it was sweet for the weekend drags and what you know at 103 thousand and 280 rwkw My clutch has started to slip. So I have a new one in the build and will be driving the truck for a week or so soon. She will be at the next drags oh yes she will I hear Kelford have a FGF6 to play with now.

[xr6turboman]

Whens the next drags... I have a month and a half off and I might be keen to do abit of ticky touring around lol
