Jeez Paul, that seemed effortless!

Sounds horn too!

yeah was a pretty easy pass...1st one with everything in order. Clutch was used in all shifts...time to turn the boost up, tweak the suspension settings and stop using the clutch.

what mods have u made paul? bigger turbo HAHA

nothing yet...arrive back in qld on monday and ill start sorting a few things out that should see some good gains. Nothing crazy the set-up will be pretty much the same as i believe now all the car needs is a few tweaks...we are going to try a few things in regards to fuel, boost control and suspension.

Righteo...just a quick update...new fuel system and wheel speed based boost control system installed. Mark will be back from the states tomm. so it will be on the dyno very soon for tuning.

Ive entered the Aust vs USA Nitro funny car 2 event series on the 2nd and 16th of January at Willowbank. They have grouped Super Compact with Competition Eliminator bracket and have me racing dragsters and doorslammers. I have resigned myself to be swiftly knocked out of the 1st round of eliminations as my index for my class (Super Compact AA/SM) is 8.38. Should be good fun racing against some big cars running 6's and 7's.

time to get the slicks out and make use of that little blue bottle?

slicks and NOS have no place on a street car :P . It will be fun getting smashed by Austraila's best. The sound of a low 6 second doorslammer passing me at the 330ft mark may leave a nasty stain in my racesuit though :) .

How oftren do you actually drive it on the street (serious question)?

whenever i feel like scaring myself...its mental on the Toyo road rubber...low boost and 1/2 throttle is all you can really give it without becoming part of the scenery. Since the car has been based in qld i haven't had much of a chance to go cruising in it...but once it goes back home it will be taken for a road run whenever i get time.

The car is reasonably well kitted out for road duties as only the rear trims and seat have been removed. It still retains all factory front trims and controls. Even the front and under car sound deadening remains and all the glass is factory as well as power windows. Its pretty much all there except the rear trims and seats as previously mentioned, the air con and the stereo.

Its road registered, runs plates, its a full bodied car, is only marginally lighter than a standard car, runs street radials and doesn't use nitrous. It was fully legal to run as a street car in the ANDRA sport compact drag series, the rules were fairly strict and even stated you couldn't remove the roof lining or carpet.
