The Carline Mufflers Powercruise Streetcar Shootout will rock Willowbank Raceway, Ipswich (The Dragstrip) on Saturday November 20.

See all the tough cars that were at Powercruise hit the drag strip to show what they are really made of. Huuuge wheelstands, awesome burnouts (but not Powerskids unfortunately) and all the raw awesome horsepower you would expect to see at a Powercruise event.

With over $20,000 in cash and prizes on the line, you can be sure the Queensland vs New South Wales State of Origin trophy will be a hard fought battle to the finish.

Pro Street Outlaw will headline the event along with Pro Street Blown, Pro Street Unblown, Modified Street Blown, Modified Street Unblown, True Street, Rotary and Dial Your Own racing into the night.

The limit of 200 competitors will ensure plenty of testing for a big night of racing.

A Chicago Shootout style bracket for Pro Street Outlaws will ensure we get to see the quickest cars all the way through the program and from what Craig Thompson tells me, he will have something to blow away the competition. However I think it would take a monster engine in a small car to topple Allan Sarkis’s Centura.

A Pro DYO bracket has been created for the first time so all first round loosers can have a second chance at the prizes. But mainly so we get to see the toughest cars for the most amount of time of course.

US Automotives have decided to throw in a few trophies for the coolest, toughest, baddest, lowest and just outright awesome spectator cars that rock up. Powercruise staff will be at the gate until lunch time picking out the coolest rides for the spectator show and shine on until lunch time. More info to come later.

Carline Mufflers is once again behind the Powercruise name as major sponsor and without their support through all their stores in Queensland, there would be nowhere for the petrol heads to cut loose on Saturday November 20.

Grab a flyer from any Carline Muffler outlet or call 1800carline. That’s 1800 227 546 for your nearest Carline Mufflers store.

    • From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)
    • In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird
    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
    • So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
