They are the northern most Hardy Spicer dealer in Qld apparently.Anyways ... sounds like you've had your fill of drag racing?Cheers Edited 14/08/08 11:07 AM by 2MUCHKW Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/46925-380rwkw-r-spec/page/5/#findComment-718440 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also need to save up a little cash before the next time I run, in case the something lets go again.

GrizzlyF6 Member 87 Member For: 17y 3m 5d Gender: Male Location: Mackay Posted 12/09/08 02:33 PM Author Share Posted 12/09/08 02:33 PM Well Dave worked a little magic for me and managed to squeeze a little more out of the car to the tune of 388rwkw on BP98 fuel. So back out to the strip and ran an 11.2@124mph. Car feels alot stonger through the 60ft, got a 1.73 so moving closer to the 10's. (also I need a bit more practice at lauching ) Best part was I got to drive it home time........not follow it while its on a tilt tray.
