Didn't get the 11.2 on vid but if you skip to 2.18 in this vid you'll see the 11.4 run at 130.1

Power

Currently at around 440 rwkws ( if day was cooler would have craked 450+) on E85 on 22lbs

Billet CV's

MT's ET Streets - for a mid 10

Recent track related

Did an Eastern creek track day (pooring rain) but held my own to be the 2nd quickest on the day (unoffically - track evo got me).

Powerplay (1st input shaft went bye bye here)

Video of when it actually broke (sounds like a whip cracking!

The fun I was having before it snapped:-

Prob some stuff that I've forgotten but still plugging away.

Also considering importing an Evo 8 for some track fun.

Also will be going to the Autotech and V & E Rigoli dyno days so hope to see a few T's out there as well and put some faces to the usernames!

We'll folks that's about it for me.. and as Jimmy the goos always said "See you on the road scag"!

All said, the trip from the Alice and the adventures that went with was a pleasant dream by comparison really. Still, your car is 'our' test bitch don't forget and I thank-you for all your R&D :biggrin:

Sweet as. did you sell the quads though? What did he have in there before? xforce exhaust? The reason I am asking, is that I like the quad look. I am not after performance either.

Yeah mate there's not a lot of us out there that have experienced this complete isolation on the middle of nowhwere!

All goo now mate?

Finally , but not before the flywheel came loose and harmonic balancer fractured. Anyrate new exhaust in the next week or so and crank up the boost, should get close to 400.
