Dear oh dear. Almost got sucked into the, mine is better than yours, debate :D

There's no doubt that the LS1 powered Commodore/Monaro is a reasonable quick beast from the factory. With a few $$$ it can be made to run very quick numbers. Henry, Rob & Matt's cars are three local examples.

I think we should have an RB vs. LS1 challenge!

Challenge #1 - How many laps of Anzac Hwy before receiving a defect

Challenge #2 - Quickest time up EOTH towing a boat

Challenge #3 - Largest number of, 'ful sik bro', comments on one pass of Rundle St (bonus points awarded if you also collect a defect during this challenge)

Challenge #4 - Ahhh.... well you all get the idea. Feel free to add more :D

I agree with all of the above :) .... strap some slicks (and/or nitrous as some of the LS1s) on our cars and we have a different bll game. I'd give any of those LS1s a run on the street on pure street tyres and I know what almost all the results would be.

I know the result... we'd win :cheers: *cough* jaffa with 3 people *cough*

Even with your swanky tyres LOL

:)

Here it is then guys, the one off and highly excellent chance for the Ricers to put away the Rattly Oil Burners once and for all. Its the LS1 Drag Nationals, and interestingly enough one of the event sponsors, and main competitors is Keir Wilson in his R32 GTR. Go figure! Prizemoney is excellent though...so if you are up for it, download an entry form and fill it out!

Picked up the GTR this week.

Made 348rwkw at 0.7bar, then after a few kays & an oil change, made 420rwkw at 1.3bar.

The car feels very strong.

Mick & co at Tilbrooks have done an excellent job with this current build up.

We will leave the tuning on the conservative side for a while so I can get used to the car (& the crazy gearbox)

then later we might put some better fuel in & crank up the boost a bit more & see what it can do down the 1/4.

Country roads are what this thing is built for, so will be good to get out of the city & stretch it's legs.

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
