Yeah, we got a dragstrip Dan.

Still wipe our ass with leaves though.. Its a lifestyle choice.

I went out there with a mate on Saturday, got there at 5 when races were meant to start. Was a decent crowd there at first then it grew getting later into the night. There was probably 15-20 cars that were actually racing, got bored of seeing the same commy's after a few hours and left at 7.

Loved seeing a 10 second plymouth and a 9 sec torana carve up the field though.

Should just start a build thread and be over with it:

Would have my valve springs and ross balacer if it weren't for a stuff-up which meant it went to Perth instead of here

[Seano350GT]

Nice, i just got my badgeless matte black grille today going to put it on tonight

What turbo are you gonna run, Cal?

[89CAL]

Still deciding but will probably be something I work out with Stao (Hypergear)

About to talk to him about a dual ceramic roller bearing turbo, just weighing up whether its gonna be to much of a risk as those turbos are a new development. So I'll probably just end up going with a standard version of the turbo.

Still tossing up between a G2.5 or a G3 of some sort. Either will net me 300rwkw as my setup will be essentially the same as Stao's except I will have a little bit extra from the Poncams and the 6boost manifold.

Just gotta weigh up which will be best

Other option will probably be a GTX30 series. But The benifit of going with Stao is the customer support after sales is outstanding

I'm not going to turn this into a massive debate about how 'x' turbo is better then 'y' turbo, I've learnt my lesson from the HKS. It didn't make the power and there was no customer support due to it being a japanese turbo. I'm more then open to suggestions but at the moment my mind is fairly made up

Have you looked at the Kando t67 series? Brock has run one, and a mate of mine took off his gt3076 ( made 310rwkw at 18psi) to buy the slightly larger Kando which was only $900.

They are a very good turbo.

[dysonest]

just make sure its not an internal gated kando as the rear housing dump pipe setup they run isnt the greatest... doubt u would be running IW anyway... other then that kando seem pretty good and LOTS of ppl are running them and happy.

what sized cams u go ??

[The Mafia]

I can't comment on the internal gated setups anyway, as all of my mates have run external gates.

External gates are superior and a must in all high horsepower / high boost applications anyway.

[Robi33]

Like all turbos, I've heard the good and the bad about Kando. It all depends on personal choice, I guess.

[89CAL]

I dont know enough about the Kando's to go for one, not bagging them, just not enough knowledge

The Hypergear allows me to go ext gate later on by changing the turbine housing to an ext gated setup.

I think my other option is a GTX3076. The 3071 would probably suit better but the mods I have mean I could probably get the 76 coming on song alright and gain the extra power.

[dysonest]

if money is an issue then kando > hypergear > gtx for sure haha

Anyone want to buy a set of Vertini Hennessey 20x8.5 +25 F 20x10 +25 R WITH 225/35/20 F 255/35/20 R Achilles ATR Sports?

They are 114.3 stud pattern, HAVEN'T been fitted to a car yet. They have been mounted to tyres yesterday, i've had a change of heart and i'm going for a different set of wheels.

Purchased them for $2025 + $640 for tyres. Happy to sell them to someone local for $2500. PERFECT condition. 4'' dish on the back, 2'' on the front. They look amazing.

[dysonest]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm 20's on mackay roads haha wouldnt last long... they look the goods on that beemer

[89CAL]

Yeah Sean I'd chuck them on the Facebook mackay car parts for sale page if you havent already done so. I dont think anyone on here has a car they want 20's on off the top of my head. But I'm sure you'll find someone with a Falcon (Yes stereotyping now) that will want them

That'll be my plan for next week, i have to take pics of them but i'm away for the weekend going to daydream for a day and staying in a f*cking nice hotel in Airlie all weekend can't wait.

Will put pics and an ad on that FB page, no doubt some falcon bogan will buy them.. pretty sad we share the same stud pattern haha.

[89CAL]

Thought I had a buyer but he wants wider tyres
