Thats a good time for its first time out, and the MPH shows there is more in the car. But why would you run full drag slicks, and not warm them up? If they didnt think the driveline was up to the task, why put them on?

yer was a good night, lots of good form all round form the jap cars :D what i love to see, but maaaaan i cant wait to see endless unleash its fury on the strip LOL

hopefully my 'beast'*cough* not *cough* will be ready soon so i can have some fun doing shit times :D

mad a 12.05 in a 180!! nice one sam....

GTR34 thats an awesome time! did u run that time or ur dad? regardless its still mad....

ps. hurry up and send me the rest of those pics so i can finish ur background and stuff :D

should be going to the next calder night cause i havent run my car since i upped the boost, installed the clutch and put the dump and front pipe on... hoping for mid 14s... which wont be too bad on stock cooler and turb.

mmm... *cough*gimme slicks too*cough* :P;)

Nice run sam, pity about all the hassles at calder huh?

and yep... i got a 12 !

12.98... just a 12, but still better than a 13.05 :)

and then i think i broke something on the next run bugger it. Oh well, the fun of racing

I though that endless car was quick... 121 mph is fairly ordinary for a car that's got as much power as that's supposed to have.

Should have cracked 130 easily...

    • You know, that is exactly the thing that I was thinking a coupe of hours ago. I even had a plan for a meme, involving one big one, another big one, and the Old El Paso girl saying "¿por que no los dos?"
    • NoS, 2 of the big ones.
    • Oh, that's grim. Something bad has been happening there.
    • Put an endoscope down the hole and saw this. Not quite all around the bore but a good 60% at least. Chin to the chest and towards further disappointments I guess.
    • 2 does "sort of" applies, maybe......but looking at what parts would be needed for the swap to get engineered, registered, and insured, and basically that's everything under the car, the modifications the make it legal would be problematic and horrendously expensive, all for a street car that just cruises around and hits a few twisty roads on the weekends Also, from looking at the NSW rules and Regs, with all modifications that is required just to make the car safe and not twist itself to pieces, and then actually get registered for street use, may still be impossible nowadays As for 1, when you add in a fresh engine, fresh transmission, rear cradle and diff, tailshaft, suspension, brakes, cooling, and all the other fabrication required, your probably looking at up to $100k to do it right, all for a 20 year old MX5 that is over engineered and you would never be able to actually use the power it has on the street, much like your beastie, which I love, but you actually track that thing and can use all of its powers in anger, in a safe environment  Hell, the old Bogan Cruise Ship had more power than I could use on the street, and in hindsight, I went a bit silly on that thing, it didn't really need the 500hp it had for what I actually used the car for, it was fun, but basically unusable on the street if you value your licence  As for cams, yeah, I'll probably book it in for them to get installed and tuned soonish, like next month after MX5 Mania are back at work....... and yes, I've already sent a email to bin the turbo quote and quote instead to install cams and a new Fluidampr balancer that will suit the 2.5 better than the OEM 2.0 balancer that is swapped over for the 2.5 install, as the balancer needs to get pulled to time the cams it's a while your in there sort of thing I did think a bit about flex fuel for a laugh, but being na, and no where really around locally anymore to get E85, I've binned that idea, so no sweet sweet corn smells are set for the car I wish E85 was more of a standard fuel, it's better for the environment, better for tuning, plus that sweet sweet smell we all love As for fitting in the family, that's not needed, as everyone in the family already owns a car that can seat 5 humans comfortably enough, the MX5 is "my toy" As for buying a car that is already built, nah, I would rather pick and choose my parts, I enjoy the process, and in the big picture, the additional cost is well worth the enjoyment, and the occasional frustration, I get out of doing it, albeit with other people spinning the spanners, and me, just paying the invoice 🤣
