If you have well integrated piping perhaps you could show us what you have done.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent seen yet exactly where the pipe plumbs back in as the car is off the hoist at the minute.Hopefully not too much longer before the first stage is finished and we will see how the set-up goes. Onwards and upwards from there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you've been busy with work. How far is it from getting back on the track for a run? Edited 16/12/07 05:36 AM by JP300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should see from really good progress this week with Supernats now behind us and I am hoping that we will hit the dyno either by the end of next week, or by mid January when the guys come back to work. We are working hard to step it up in the drag racing stakes, as there hasnt been a whole lot of focus on pushing Adams record....It has stood for a long time. Unfortunately, these things take time and as much as I am keen, it has to be done right the first time with so many components so that I can save alot of pain and wasted time in the future.The car will run a few new ideas, that havent really been done before on the XR6T, so should be pretty unique and innovative as well. I will keep you posted as it gets closer to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
