Please get that the f**k out of my thread. f**kin' horrible.

Me Gusta.

i've just pulled these straight off the stanceworks main page, but it HAS to be posted. Mike Burroughs's new car.. so good.

Make sure you set aside a few minutes, the boss is a talkative f**ker.

I've used Marshall Powder coaters in Wingfield and will be using them again.

Sprints, Repco, Bursons, Autobarn, Supercheap... Take your pick.

A what...? Long day. It's probably super obvious.

Likewise. /bandwagon.

The only Snap On tool I want is one of those cordless impact drills. And well, they're hugely expensive.

I do fancy a new Stanley socket set. Might have a wander.

Absolutely gorgeous car. Neg.

Even with Rotas... That thing is amazing.

Exhaust housing on my turbo is stainless. Investment cast stainless, but stainless nonetheless.

I'd be interested in seeing Vu attempt to drift while eating an ice cream.

Dude on NS wants to buy my gate, but only if he can pay via paypal. Apparently he can't use ordinary transfers or cash withdrawals... Who the f**k survives these days if they can't freely shuffle their own money around freely. Sounds whack as f**k to me.

Unopened. I played with the idea of a simple rebuild while I was waiting, but knowing how things snowball, I decided against it to save my bank account. Only internal modifications will be a set of BC step 2 cams. I'll likely go back to standard manifold, don't much like the design of the A'pexi. Aiming for 250 on a nice safe E85 tune. Another 30 or so before I start worrying about the bottom end. My only concern at this stage is the gearbox. I reckon I'll lunch that well before the motor shows signs of going to the scrap heap in the sky.

I like everything but the wheels. And the lack of engine mods. And maybe the colour. ... But aside from that, it's pretty cool. I thought he was always going that..?

Ha, email me those pics in high res and I'll whip something up the next time I open PS.

Cost may be an issue swaying the old guys on the scene to get behind the 1/8th mile, it is after all prohibitively expensive to make constant trips over the border to put down a time that actually matters, which brings me to my next point really. 1/8th racing is basically the same as doing half a lap at Malalla, sure, it's fun, but it doesn't count for shit. No serious drag racer is going to care that you did 9 seconds on the 1/8th mile.

Vote 1, Iron Chef? I reckon it's a solid idea.

Neva late in free point ate.

Sure thing. The list so far, Manifold (not strictly necessary) Intake pipe Outlet pipe Dump pipe Water fitting on the block (comp cover fouls it, yet to trial any solutions) Oil drain line So far that's it. I can't foresee any other issues aside from those. But I'll post them as they come.

All the material I've found seems to suggest just that, 3071 power with response rivaling that of a 2860. Whether or not that's true... Well, we'll all have to wait it out. Most projects using 6258s seem to be progressing as quickly as mine, at a pace that makes glacial appear swift, so dyno charts are thin on the ground. For the amount of money I've spent so far, I could have easily gone 3071R on a high mount manifold, and probably be back on the road a month ago. But where's the fun in that? *waits for the obvious remark* While admittedly, I have hit a wall, it happens to anyone that spends long enough sitting in their personal hell garage, drinking beer, and staring at a car in bits, I'm still more than happy I spent the coin on the Borg Warner. I looked into actual 2860RS' (instead of the high flow I had), 2871s, 2876s, 3071s, T518zs, TD05s, TD06s, RX6s, etc etc etc ad nauseum, I now know more about those than I'll ever have the need to, while the 6258 may not be the best 'bang for buck' for most punters, for my dollar, it was the only way to go.

Beat me to it.
