I fitted a set of pacemakers today and it has definately given the car some big hurry up from down low that just keeps gathering momentum, huge difference, but it was raining today so I couldn't really give it a real try out. Have just come back from Bris Mon night and have to go back again next monday night to do a chanel 9 documentary and back here wed night which is the day of the FPV driver training so I miss out which is a real p!ss off.But this machine it just keeps getting better with age (and mods) Keep enjoying that Red "CHICK MAGNET" machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am doing a doco for Bris Extra on therapeutic hypnosis, and also ACA re curing chronic fatigue with hypnosis, very successful but too much flying. Sells lots of CDs though. (if you want to know more go to www.mindmotivations.com).Anyway we will be in Geelong in mid May. Now for the important stuff. I fitted a set of pacemakers yesterday and took the car for a good drive last night, absolutely awesome, they bring the beastie alive from 1500 all the way to the rev limiter, more acceleration, more and instant responsiveness, caning the car avg 12.4 ltrs per 100klm, instead of 16.5 with average driving, and the sound, oooohhhhhhhhh the sound. I'm going on the dyno tomorrow but shes easily 360 engine kWs, in second if you nail it, she spins up the back wheels and just hammers. All alone in the quietly rumbled filled cabin I am a very happy man. What a machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are off top of head costs (damned cheap power additions, $ may be minimally incorrect)1. Twin 2.5 mandrel bent hotdog centre mufflers $3802. Mandrel bent 2.5 in Y pipe. $1853. Pacemakers. $8504. Batten Underdrive pulleys $5305. Cold Air Induction & BMC Filter $1806. Helix Throttle Plate $3207. Pedders Sports Shocks & Springs $ 999 trade, fitted.8. UNICHIP ????????? not quite sure.Next to come, My long awaited Melbourne trip in mid May, visit Mercturbo, FPV Factory and APS. A UNICHIP will be the final mod, hopefully should be able to get 370 or so kWs. After my T saga, I wouldn't sleep too well at night if APS didn't fit the UNICHIP. The F6 is gonna be real interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a drive, you'll be quite amazed, I am.Leaving Perth May Mon 10th, should take 2 days. Leaving Melb back to Perth Mon May 17th, staying in Geelong for 5 nights including a weekend. I'll have to pack the winter woolies me thinks. Mate get some Pacemakers, you'll be quite amazed at the extra energy your Red Machine will pick up.
