$70 from the helmet warehouse at yagoona. Ben's f*cking one up tomorrow do you want him to grab you one while he's there? You can just give him the coin tomorrow night.

Rikis got one for me to use in the interim. Thanks for the offer though

Hell yeah man! Do you have a thread listing everything you've done to the car? Good improvement on Corzza's PB was 11.990 I think? Still on the street tyres Corzza?

Don't really have thread with nods but I'll pm you what I've done. Both Corzza and I were on street tyres tonight. U convinced Corzza to try manual shifting on his last run and that's when he did hus PB.

I remember talking to him about it last time I was down there. I always shift manually cause my gearbox goes all Charlie Sheen when I leave it in drive. Looking forward to that list of mods and again well done guys!

Well Done Matt! You have a 10 sec car mate. The right tires on the back and BAM!

The story on how I cracked my PB last night.

Got to the creek by 16:45. It was already busy and thank goodness I did because it was full by 7pm.Signed in went through Scrutineering all good and lined up 3rd in the que.

First run 2.064 60' - 11.95 @ 121mph - Ok good I was happy to be in the 11s off the bad

Second run 2.078 60' - 11.94 @ 119mph - Ok not bad slower 60' but slower mph...mmmm

Third run 2.086 60' - 11.93 @ 117mph - Getting weird, slower 60', lower top end but getting quicker. Thinking cap on.... give it a bit of a stall up next time!?

Fourth Run 2.036 60' - 11.71 @ 119mph - "that's a BINGO!" Stall up to 2200rpm and go and I bettered my 60' slightly. Lets try it again but in Manual mode!

Fifth Run 2.096 60' - 11.87 @ 122mph - Awesome! I have the combo figured out. Although my 60' was the worst for the night I gained 3mph and managed a 11.8.

So now I know what I got to do. Perfect my 60' and use manual mode and hopefully by bringing down my 60' to say 2.0 I should be in theory mid to low 11's. It was a good night with plenty of fords out representing!

Corzza are u popping the bonnet between runs? I found that seemed to cure the times getting slower gremlin lol. I noticed my PW airbox and piping were still suprisingly warm just before I'd get to the next run even though she'd been sitting for ages. So I started popping the bonnet and viola! It cooled right down and the mph went back up and the ets came down a couple of tenths again.
