congrats for the first 9 sec pass today and a 9.0 at that on a half pass isnt a bad effort at all :laugh: Pity i didnt come down, my old man came home and told me all about it as he said he was having a chat to you dave and smiley regarding a few things (he was crewing on the funny car team).

I cant wait to get out there as well, mines getting closer by the day :) hopefully the ppg box holds up.

Also that NPC clutch you sold me, was that just an off the shelf twin plate item with the different splines or a custom made unit? Im looking to order more clutch plates and want to get the same type as the thing drives soo nice yet handles a shitload of power :laugh:

Thanks - felt good and launched straight .1:30 60', 116 MPH half track backed off at this stage as i wanted to feel what the chute did to the car - no issues all felt good,wobbled the ass end a little but no biggy, rolled through still at 116mph.

Your dad showed interest and offered some advice on tyre pressures, nice chap.

Clutch, i actually went through Mark jacobsen of Godzilla motor sport and he organised through NPC- give hime a quick call he's always obliging and will sort out, won't mark it up stupid either.

Will be good to see your on the track , lots of work hey!

Thanks to my team, Smiley , Timbo and Clint for there support as always. It's only going to get better from here on in fellas. God i was keen to give her a bigger sqeeze on the next pass - oh well that racing i suppose.

    • I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?
    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
