Nice :)

That was my aim too - snuck it in on my last run before I was booked in for the tune etc

Great times for a 2.2 60' and a higher mpg than I was pushing

I haven't tried manual shifting yet.
Both times I've been it's been very busy and only got 2 runs in each time.

Very happy with the 13.09 but would love to crack into the 12's without a tune which I think should be no problem with a good launch and sticky track.

I did a few things different this time at the drags to last time too which I think helped.
I put the stock 18's back on instead of the 19x9.5 I ran last time.
Removed the spare wheel, jack and tools.
Put fresh fuel in on the day (also had 1/4 tank more fuel this time).
32 psi in the 18" tyres instead of the 36+psi in the 19's.

Also stalled it up a little bit (not much).

Recently bought an F6 intercooler off a forum member for a very good price recently. I know people say they're not very good but I got it very cheap so thought I'd give it a go.
Also removed the turbo oil line filter today and will hopefully fit a transmission cooler this week and get rid of the heat exchanger.

I lowered the G6E on some Kings SSL front and SSSL rear. I've only driven it shortly a couple of times since but ride quality does not seem to be any worse. And the tyres haven't touched the guards so far, so I'm hoping I can get away with not needing to roll them, it's very close though.

I also purchased a PWR Heat Exchanger in Ratter's group buy.

Yeah take those off before they rub away the paint all over like mine did. I didn't mind them when they were on, especially with the bad roads I drive on, but now they are off I wouldn't want them back.

I did see some aftermarket or possibly custom mudflaps on a car in at XFT one day. Not as obvious on the car (less overhang), but still looked functional. Shame I never asked where they came from.
