  1. Their is a small weight about 10x3cm that sits underneath the horn at the top of the wheel which is held on by 2 screws. The bracket can snap and the weight becomes loose and moves around when you turn the steering wheel (and can even engage the horn when at certain angles). You need to remove the airbag and just pull out the loose weight. Edit: It is a very very simple job to fix the problem, but very hard to find a mechanic with the tools that is willing to risk removing the airbag from the steering wheel.
  2. Im spectating, can't get my car sorted in time.

    Even if the mods are 100% legal, they can still deem them illegal which forces you to get them checked over. It's not up to those cops to be accurate, it's just their job to report them. I've seen cars with engineers certificates still get done over. The owner just had to get everything verified by the RTA/EPA. Illegal
  4. Dont spose you have the factory spare wheel + jack or factory airbox?

    I thought it was 3000rpm they test at not 4800rpm? My car would fail everything just sitting idling
  7. Alright this Friday is the WSID Freaky Friday Off-Street drag racing + burnouts. 11:00am - Competitor gates open 12:00am - Spectator gates open 1:00pm - Racing starts 5:00pm - Easter egg hunt 6:00pm - Rebel Bracket (Pro tree) 6:20pm - Lipstick Eliminator 7:00pm - Burnouts 8:45pm - Burnouts Spectators = $20 Off-Street competitors = $45 Rebel Pro Tree competitors = $80 MORE INFO HERE (pdf) I think that the Rebel Bracket will bring out alot of the more serious off-street drag races and their appears to be plenty of cash up for grabs for all categories so it should be a great day/night of drag racing. I might enter in the off-street depending on if I get my clutch bled in time. Anyone else going or racing?
  8. No because i'd like to compare my time against other times with an identical model car.
  9. I'll get some prices/opening times and get back to you.

  23. I watched this entire video last night (well this morning at 3-4am). It's cut down a fair bit but probably the best you'll get these days.
  24. Got any pics of the frontbar?
  25. What rpm are you launching at? With 255 rubber on the rear (drop it to about 20-25psi) you would be dropping the revs from around 4000-4500rpm i'd think? If you can nail a 2.0sec 60ft time you will drop close to a second instantly. Rev it out more before changing, up around 6800-7000rpm somewhere. You may even be able to hold 3rd gear across the line and should be doing up around 100-102mph.
