Only had 2 runs, both 11.5, so well off the pace.Suffered converter problems, and a slight miss. I have a 3500rpm stall, but could only get it up to 3000rpm.Anything over that, and the brakes just wouldn't hold it on the line.
Overall, pissed off really, but considering the problems, 11.5's aren't bad.
My tyres are G60's, not a full slick like you said.
Back to the drawing board.
A guy i know owns the sky blue VLT wagon with genuine 19"VX GTS wheels, man that looked sweet.

Looks like February is the next time i'll be out. Going to the UK for xmas.Dont get back til mid January.

LOL nah bro i dont have a vlct its just a personal joke coz i drive a pulsar and got paid out badly about it from drift_87 so i now "own" a vlct in my dreams :D

and drift_87 the 4,6 and rotary nationals are an event usually in feb if all goes well im pretty sure it will be on the 12th of feb next yr as its a saturday and this yrs was on valentines day so im just guessing around that date...cost is $20 at the gate or $15 if u buy it from rpm earlier....even cheaper if u arrive in my pulsar LOL :D:D:D:D :p :p :p

Yeah, spoke to Jake, putting a monster engine combo in the wagon.Sweet ride for sure.
Yep, down on MPH like you said, just nothing went right for me.To many problems on the night. I need new tyres as well, they're trashed now, had'em for ages.
Feb meet now looks the go, if not, March.
Hopefully my new engine will be ready in time.All i'm saying is, this new engine will run mid/low 10's EASY.
Will let you all know when its ready!!

Need a new bottom end, the top end is fresh as. A bullet proof bottom end is all i need done.My best mate, or John Keen will be doing the build.
Getting the stall converter problem fixed plus a re-tune.Thats all i'm saying for now!!
Yes, keeping the same turbo.
Back for the feb street meet, Will be in the UK til mid january.

Maz

Cheers Maz, i'll be leaving our summer, to freeze my ass off!! Should be good anyway, looking forward to it.

New setup should be killer, low 10's we're looking for. But before we do that, re-tune current setup with more boost by using ELF turbo race fuel, should be good for mid 10's just with that and the converter problem fixed.(should anyway) if nothing else breaks!!
This will be tested on the Feb street meet, after that, the new setup will start to take place.
stay tuned!!

tell me about it Leon, it'll happen, eventually!!. Now i just have to wait about 6 weeks to find out, at least it'll give me plenty of time to sort everything out by then, and have the car setup perfectly. Feb 5th is the meet.

Yeah, it has been more like winter here, so much for Dec being the start of summer!!!
Man, last nights rain & wind was crazy, cant ever remember the last time i seen it like that.
Its been bad, but this aint nothing like an english winter. They have to pour hot water over there door seals,just to get into the car. Well in the part my brother lives anyway.I'm hoping it snows, never seen real snow before.
No wonder english people always whinge, i would too if lived there, the weather is always pooh!!
