luck, boy did we need some. a mad scramble to get car ready, and i know well that its the worst way to prepare for an event.

Saturday we had the car wheel aligned and made all the tin-work. Monday night we fitted the tin-work, made gear shifter and mounted handbrake lever, also made and fitted rear lexcen window.

tuesday organised fuel and some minor stuff and then took it too dyno. All looking good at this point.

When atempting to tune found that ECU was locked accidently and can only be unlocked by the persons software who locked it. After a few hours of trying to get around this problem we were left with no option but too leave it, get the ECU unlocked in the morning and then bring the car back up to tune.

After getting home at 1 and back up at 630 for the past 3 days i was shot. So up to sydney we drive again and have the car on the dyno by 9. after 8 hours of tuning and software downloads etc etc we got the car to run at about 80%. We called it a day at 6pm. 7 hours late for my track day lol. But more than happy as Yavus from Unigroup after hours of stuffing around with the HP tuner software broke its back and made real progress with the tune.

The car was making 302Kw @ 7000rpm at the tyres when we finished. He thinks its got a little bit left in it and some fine tuning to finish.

The car sounded strong in the end and was crazy to drive as i got to give it a skid in the car-park.

Huge thanks to The boys at Unigroup for a massive effort, as well as my brother and brother in-law who

travelled up and down with me. Also Ian for sticking around and helping out on tuesday night.

hope to have the tune finished in the next 2 weeks in order for the SAU track day.

Good luck today Stu!

Hope all goes well.

[evil_weevil]

Hey Stu,

Good to see Yavuz got it sorted too!

Cant wait to see it in action mate!

[phunky_monkey]

Nice one mate, we need some sound clips!

[Roy]

You can have the clips...lol i want to drive

[Beer Baron]

nice one mate. nothing ever goes perfectly but those problems are only minor. and one missed trackday is no biggie.

mmm 300 @ 7 will be some serious fun. what are the ratios like in the box that's behind it?

[Marlin]

**dibs on a drive too** lol - same weekend as Brisby maybe?

[JAS-25T]

Stu, You should lease this thing out, looking at the interest ahahahhaha

[Victory]

Hey Stuart is the rumour correct that you are chasing more killer wasps so that Bumble Bee will behave like a real "sprint car" and lift the front wheels off the ground under acceleration?

[Silver_GT]

This thing looks like it'd be ace, where does it get kept at? Rekon we can get an LS2 into my R34 Next Year Sometime? Gotta come check out ur r32 sometime, your charades doing well too

You have built an absolute awesome machine mate, it looks a million dollars, goes like a bullet and the sound of the LS1 thru your side pipes.... well it makes me do funny things in my pants!!! Pure pure horn!!!!

I do hope you can make it to SAU OP GP day, really cant wait to see/hear that thing down the straight!

I may even setup my camera and do some laps behind you for some footage of the beast.... but not for too long, cant let this yellow beast beat the failvia for too long!!!!
