New Member!!! 2009 G6e Turbo

[MaStars]

Hey Guys, so ran the car at Willowbank on Saturdays race ya mates aka test and tune. was a great night meet some awesome people maybe even someone from on here with the white XR6 Turbo?

 

was super happy with how the car performed. Its 2009 with 145K on the clock. best ET was a 13.04 with a 2.036 60FT @ 106.3MPH. Best MPH of the night was a 107.8.

 

I am certain there was a 12.99 in it just couldn't quite get it there and then it started to heat soak, as at the end of the night the runs were very back to back as most cars left early.

 

Now time for the mods and try to crack the 11s  I'm glad the first mods I have brought are brakes as it was pretty sketchy stopping from 175kph and lots of shuddering.

Just found one of my front tyres was at 22psi I wonder if that could of robbed my of my 12.9 I noticed through the night my MPH was dropping off slightly, I wonder if it was consistently getting lower through the night.

 

would make sens because a low front tyre wouldn't affect 60ft much but could affect the top end? thoughts?

 

Also note the tyres I am running are elcheapo maximus  @ $140 per tyre, and were running 38psi all round. I wonder if wit better tyres I would of got a 12.9 also, I didn't notice a massive amount of slip?

Added my first modifications over the weekend.

 

DBA T4000 rotors and Project Mu HC+800 pads all round and adjustable front and rear Whiteline sway bars.

 

Both have made a huge difference for the relatively low cost, really happy with how she stops and turns now for a land barge ;).

 

next more power!!!!

Progress update.

 

Over the weekend I installed a new Nizpro Intercooler which I brought from a great fella on here, took a bit of massaging but finally got it in only just clears the crash bar and what ever the thin cooler is in front of the radiator. as you can see I scratched the coating of a bit which pissed me off but noting a bit of black nail polish didn't fix.

 

Also picked up a second hand but in pretty much new condition KPM Intake for a great price thanks to gumtree.

 

Pretty happy with how it turned out, been a long time since I have worked on cars. Photos below;
