Nah, nobody buys a H pattern Holiger.

"It also has a Holinger sequential 6 speed gearbox with custom GDS Motorsport ratios which is also modified in conjunction with Holinger. In it’s current guise it is 5 speed"

OK my bad, I must have been put wrong somewhere - I definitely have been put under the impression he had the record for quickest manual shifted.... nonetheless its completely unrelated, and would regardless take nothing from this car doing a 8.69 on DOT tires :D

What is the setup?

As far as I know, I heard after the re-scheduled Jamboree, where he will be attempting to try and reset the SA record, Theo will be switching classes to Sport-Mod........

I have heard a rumour there could be a air shifted G-Force on its way, which could make things interesting...

cheers

Dont know who tuned theo's car but it is just overpowering the track. Massive wheelspin in every gear and the car skates all over the strip.

I think the power output has outstripped the capabilitys of the mickey T's.

I spoke to him on saturday night and he has some pretty big plans involving carbon fibre, lexan glass and full slicks. Should be interesting. :)

      Has anyone put in brand new full carpet? (not floor mats)

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆

      The Ls1 R33 Of Fury

      Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
