took it for a couple of drives around the 'test track' over the weekend....its a totally different car at the same power level as the low-mounts. Its going to be a very quick car down the 1/4 as im sure it would run faster even now...im sure i could have it in the 9.60-9.70 bracket without too much trouble. Another 200KW is going to have me very busy behind the wheel keeping it in the lane and off the walls. I was actually a bit short of a word after a very spirited session on Saturday afternoon...which is very out of character.

if i run it over 140MPH ill lose my 'get out of gaol free' card and ill have to rock up next time with the parachute. Ill save it for Compak...even though Mark said he would send his chute down for me to use. He's confident if i can keep it in the groove a very low 9 is possible. Two runs below 9.1 will get me the National record and a 9.44 will have me jump up to 4th in the HPI drag records list.

well why dont u stop fluffing about and put the damn parachute on, hell i'll send mine down if you want.

the parachute rule is a wank and dates back to when cars had drum front brakes...id like to run without one to be honest...and ill put one on only when they make me.

well you know that lovely feeling when your seeds cop one...the one that travels up your groin towards your hip...i had that for 3 days solid...morphine tablets were my best friend. All good now...im only on 3 types of medication now including 6 hourly double doses of Panadine Forte. Im able to properly stand and walk not looking like someone has clouted me in the jewels.

If you are dropping 4 Panadeine forte at a time, frequently, you liver will suffer some pretty serious damage. It is often permanent, best bet is going back for some endone, that is what they gave me for the wrist(in a cast), or even just codeine to take with the P.F. to strengthen it up!

Take care and good luck with the record attempt's!

The car is entered for Compak Attak next Sunday at WSID. Setting up suspension tomorrow as its still set-up for circuit as our circuit car borrowed all the suspension for Superlap last year. Ride height needs to be raised and camber, castor and toe settings need to be changed. Mark will be flying down next Friday night to tune it in Sydney on Saturday and ive ordered a special brew for the tuning at $13.25 a litre it sure is pricey as its leaded it cops a heavy carbon tax. Ouch.

He's confident of an output around 850+whp without too much trouble.

9.44 is the target ET. but if i leave the track with a PB thats a success as far as im concerned as i havent raced the car for 11 months and will have 200whp more. It sure will be a handfull.

There will be some competition for you Paul at the Sport Compact next weekend, JUN r32 from CRD should be there.

:(

Rob's car should run faster than mine. He's got all the little problems ironed out in the car and its now super quick. But due to his car being a non ANDRA log booked and tech'd car id say his day will be over in 1 run. He is racing Devlish as well so at least he has a back-up car to run. All that aside i should be the slowest car in the Modified Compact Class but due to 12 entrants at least ill be able to qualify for the eliminators...then its DYO handicapped...they will have to try and run me down.

Im doing a few pump fuel shakedown runs on friday night if i can get on the entrant list (entry's have closed but i may be able to run if someone pulls out). Its been 11 months since ive raced and i think a few passes on lower power to see if its running straight would be good.

EDIT: ive just looked for Rob's name on the entry list and neither car is listed as entered. Entries close in 45mins. Get onto it Rob.

    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
