Well done Spiro.... takes me back to the first time I ran the AU on ET Streets, first pass the car went 11.04 @ 132 and I had just beaten the manual modular time (which was 11.3 @127 done by a ute with slicks and frontrunners)...... to be honest I was considering calling it a day, but I was given another chance to run. 10.98 @ 130mph was the result.... it happens that quick.

Getting to know the car after that just made things better and better, with better launches and shifts (never flatchanging though, I just cant bring myself to do it!) allowing my car to run as good as 10.78 with mph consistantly in the 135-137mph range before the clutch let go...... The long winded point I am coming to is this:

My car had 850lb front springs and Koni's setup more for street/circuit in mind, weighed 2005kg with me in it, on drag radials with 507rwkw..... I came from 10.98 @ 130 to 10.78 @ 136 with just time behind the wheel and no other changes.........That monster of yours, with that power and that setup is going to get a hell of a lot faster I reckon!

Again, well done.

Daniel

Thanks Daniel,

You are definately on the money their mate, the car has gone down the track in one piece in it's current configueration a grand total of 5 times, only two of which it has been mildly run out the back door LOL.. Paul The Stig's approach to whole thing has proven to be alot wiser & sensible than my own resulting in some very good early runs on the board with the car. It definately has a bright future and plenty of improvement left to come albeit on step at a time.. :beerchug:

guess who's been tasked with putting this beast back together tomorrow :fishin:

I hope I can remember where everything goes :stirthepot:

and good work on the 10 minutes of arguing it took to convince Paul to drive it Spiro!!! The banter between you 2 was priceless!!!

Make sure there's no fingerprints on the car Steve when your done LOL :stirthepot:

geez I really wish I could have made it out there on saturday :verysad: sounds alot more interesting then losing the grand final by 220 runs

By 220 :roflmbo:

nice work. bet you are happy with that mate.

Extremely happy, however not quenched as yet :beerchug:

awsome effort mate :)

Cheers :beerchug:

Great to see the car running awesome numbers, as alot of us know, getting a manual turbo 6 to launch is a dam hard thing to do.

Well done to all involved!

Well done to all involved, that 10 is almost a formality now.

When I come down later in the year will have to put them side by side down the track, it should make for a good video if nothing else.
