SPIKO Gold Donating Members 1,924 Member For: 19y 10m 24d Gender: Male Posted 04/11/09 02:30 AM Share Posted 04/11/09 02:30 AM Surprisingly there have been a few manual attempts to run a 10 sec quarter,I have decided because I'm bored to have a go myself and will be doing so within the next two weeks!I am in Brisbane now and I have had the pleasure of meeting and utilizing Mal Wood regarding the T56 & 6 boost regarding manifolds exhaust, fuel system etc.The gearbox in the photos is a new spec magnum T56 from the states much stronger than the original, Mal and his team are extremely professional and I was impressed with there customer service and attention to detail.6 Boost as you will no doubt see from the pics have left me with a dropped jaw regarding there exhaust and plumbing work. I would recommend both without hesitation if you are serious about modifications and the strengthening of BA, BF, FG. I will be running the car on street tyres to start with next week weather permitting, and then on slicks and front runners a week or so after that.Wish me luck,Spiro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
