Miko,

Seems a few dudes got PB's.

I took the Volvo out for a spin tonight, it tells me it wants to go to the drags too.

From the looks of things it will get a mid 14 if I leave it in 'D' maybe a bit quicker. I'll have to get the shift kit put in so I can get 1st to 2nd working better on manual shifts, then it might get a 13.

Yea - it was interesting cos some of the guys didn't think the track prep was very good so mixed feelings really.

be interesting to see how the Volvo would actually go - I know it's quick. Would be great to see the look of ppl's faces when it rolls into the staging area:)

I was a bit pissed at first, seemed like I just wasted my money last night, but on the way home I was happy again, beat a few cars:D

There was a Commodore trying to keep-up around a corner, he fish-tailed it a few times before running it up and embankment at 70km/hr:bahaha:

See'ya:burnout:

Should be tomorrow - but as long as it's before next weekend i don't care.

Did you check the map for your cruise? Long term forecast says it may be wet next weekend, but the bbq spot that we checked is undercover - I will phone tomorrow to see if we can book that spot.

    • Yeah it was a good result, and confirming the car is full of fluids and all interior etc in, other than fuel. I think a few pages back (maybe many pages!) he mentioned some serious lightening in the doors with the chassis punch, might have been done elsewhere I hadn't seen yet too
    • He still had the suspension dialled in for him! I would have sworn the lowest weight he ever got to was 1300kg though Maybe Neil had been drilling a LOT of holes somewhere you haven't found yet... 😛 Or has he also drained all the gearbox and diff oil out too, between it, and a tank full of fuel there's about 65kg to 70kg to add back in I'd guess. 😛
    • Yeah this isn't a super complex shape, but I was still happy to buy instead of fab version 1; very little in a modern can is a flat surface, and that is true here again - the undertray has about 50mm in height differences that I would have had to work out myself. I will probably make something more substantial before it does any rally, I don't think 1mm steel is too much use as a bash plate. There is also cooling to think about, Z1 have done a bit of development and have some air holes and louvers in the shape, will see how that works out too
    • If it's been tuned idle rpm can be changed.
    • Very slightly as there are bars connecting both sides of the ramp. The only difficulty that I had was doing the gearbox, everything else so far has been ok
