I was trying to be generous, Andrew <_<

Yes Paul, I think it's time I updated it - Will do it now actually. Might make it something contentious like,

"Who needs AWD, Two Turbos and engine work to run 11.685???"

Paul, I have raced my car before on the track although not in it's current state of tune. I must admit that if someone asks what times we have run i will say the car's fastest time regardless of who drove. The thought has never entered my head to make people believe that it was me driving, i have just never thought of it that way. I'm not in this to take any records or anything i just want to build a quick street car. Personally it doesn't matter to me who drove the car to what time i only care about what the time slip says at the end. Other people may feel differently to me but that's the way it is.

You guys will not be aware but i have coped alot of flack from numerous people about this car and i am sick of it, all i want to do is get it to the times i'm happy with and it will never see the track again, the sooner the better for me. Brad constantly tries to get me in to drive it myself but i must say i really don't care.

If people have misunderstood i apologise, hopefully it is more clear now  :P

what flack?! i am honestly surprised you were not out there! especially with the way brad goes on! I remember when he first started posting.. he repeatedly said the car was yours.. all credit goes to you as owner and driver.. he just did the mechanical work.. it was like he had a disclaimer at the end of each post!! and then with him going on about the 'ladies' having their own run, i was sure he was going to get you and stace to line up.. but nothing! its fine if you don't drive the car... all it takes is one change in what you say... 'the car did..' instead of 'i did..'....

and you're right.. it isn't a female dominated sport... but stacy has already pulled the spotlight towards her direction and has already done alot to promote females in this area... it DOES NOT help when someone comes along and has the attitutde that the lil girls can go play in that corner while the men have their sport... thats a great way of showing support! :\ and whether or not, thats what he meant, thats how i took it...

hey fatz!!!! i'm ready to enrol in one of your drift days! ;) maybe not your next one, the one after! (do you know when that will be?) :) hopefully i'll get a discount! :)

"Girls are weak...chuck em in th......."

What'd I miss? Stace? Mona?

Anyway...

The two WOMEN who raced at the drag day on Sunday have taken well over $5500.00 in prizemoney between them at drag racing events over the last 18 months and that deserves restec-p of the highest order. :)

They are two of the most well-seasoned drag racers that SAU has the honour of calling members and should be regarded as such.

I don't think people give them enough credit - in particular regard to the skills they have developed.

For instance, Mona. How the HELL do you cut sub .020 lights every other time?!?! It's got me beaten. ;)

Everyone have a good hard look at who the REAL racers are on this forum and in this club and then, if you're nice about it, draw from their experience. I'd like to.

0.020 lights? Maybe Mona should come along to a Wednesday night street meet where they have prizemoney for the top three best reaction times for the night.

I want to give those reaction times a go next time I go to WSID. I cracked three 0.0** RT's within a patch of 5 runs on the weekend which I was stoked about considering I'd never even got a 0.1 RT before :)

(I'm sure the 15+ runs I had earlier in the day helped a little though ;) )

    • Ok another question. I have everything back in the car I have a very Uneven part of my driveway and one wheel is nearly touching the ground. Only the one barely hitting the ground is spinning. There are no weird noises when driving. Jacking the car up and turning one wheel, the other does not spin and same if I turn the wheel on the other side. But when I put the car in gear and drive, (in the air) both wheels spin. Is all of this normal?
    • None of the above. G30 660. Call it done. Or, BW EFR, or one of the other similar modern options. In the BWs we're talking EFR 7670 with the twinscroll turbine housing. Sorta good for 650HP at the flywheel, which should be more than enough. Broadly speaking it's equivalent to the G30 660. None of this is cheap like the OP's original options, though. The PSR3576 is also a bit larger than the new power target would suggest using. The ATR43SS3 was always a smaller choice than the PSR. 600 fly vs 750 fly. So they weren't ever comparable options. I would think the ATR43SS2 or 3 would do what is (now) wanted, especially if E85 is the path to making the target. Tao's own recco is for an SS2 on E85 for 340rwkW, which is almost exactly on target. The SS3 would have more headroom, but it really demands a 4" inlet. I would probably try Tao's reccomended turbo at <1/3 the price of the name brand stuff I suggested above.
    • G25/30 Series. Nobody seems to run a BW EFR anymore, and not at a 320kw power level on 95 gas. I did back in the day on a RB28, I don't think anyone ever ran a 7163 on a RB25. That said, a G series is going to be much easier to fit being physically smaller which is more helpful than you might think.  The turbo is the only thing that really adds power to the car. It is the most important of all selections. Do not skimp on it. If it's a budget issue, save longer. The difference between a G series and these other options will be like 5% when all is said and done. What's an extra $1000 now when you look at it through the lens of all the $ already spent to support..... the turbo to do its job well.  I see it in LS worlds too, where they spend $50,000 on the motor to run 2x $300 ebay china turbos on the f**kin thing. With engine consumables, well - they all are. Just less with less power. It's either already rebuilt... .....or it's a 25 year old engine you are wanting to boost to (at least) 200% of stock power. It would be very wise to consider what the plan is, and be ready for it, when something does go south. Don't be that guy with a just completed-now-broken-car because you didn't budget for things to go wrong, which is how a low of projects end up sadly.
    • If you had to pick between Pulsar and Hypergear I would probably go Hypergear.
