matt036 Donating Members 280 Member For: 14y 10m 1d Gender: Male Posted 29/12/13 10:58 PM Share Posted 29/12/13 10:58 PM Hi all, been a member for a while and owned my BA since 2010 but never ended up putting up a build thread. Its been a long road with the car so I wont bore you with all the details and get up to where it is today. Although in its life it has seen a few different power levels and with a change of tuner later im happy as a pig in sh*t with it. Here are some mods:Xforce 4" s/s dumpXforce 4.5" s/s catXforce 3.5" s/s cat backGCG ported housing and larger flapper12 psi actuatorCrow valve springs & retainersPlazmaman 4" Race AirboxBattery relocated to bootPlazmaman 2.5" Hotside pipingRapid V2 Intercooler with cold side pipingCustom Throttle body relocationPlazmaman Surge with Holley Dominator 1400 fuel pumpAeroflow fuel railTuff Car Parts 1000cc InjectorsTurbosmart 1200 Fuel reg-8 Braided fuel linesDirect Clutch Services Twin Plate 1000hp Race Series ClutchMGW Short Shifter It was tuned at Forced Performance and Tuning in Toowoomba back in April and made 362rwkw on bp98 and 430rwkw on united e85. When we were tuning it though Jamie noticed in the power runs the valve springs were going soft (already had a set of crows in which didnt even last 18 months) so ive replaced them with another set of heavier crow springs and retainers. Also the clutch wasnt even 12 months old and the alloy csc I put in had cracked and leaked fluid everywhere meaning the clutch was out last month being sent away for a rebuild. So Its on run in at the moment and ill be going back down to get the tune double checked in march then itll be go time at the drags again. At this stage I dont have a lot more plans for the car but ive said that everytime ive gone to a new power level and it more crap just keeps getting done lol so heres a couple pics of the car anyway. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took it a couple times through the year but just little sh*t going wrong stopped me from goin an 11. Did a low 12 with no drive from 1/8th mile when the clutch was slipping. So with it all working should go easy high 11's 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At your power levels have you done anything to the transmission and engine block? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
