The run yesterday was cut short at 4ooorpm due to a fuel issue, with a few full power runs today im quite supprised at what it made. Well the car is about ready to go, i got alittle carried away with round 1 of mods but it's a good plat form to start from.

That's a great BA IRS axle twisting effort Chris. I'll see if I can get Leigh to drop over to my place when my neighbour has his mate's 911T over. Blown cubes, there's no substitute!

THERE IS NO PUSHING AT BPR. ONLY TWO LONG BLACK LINES.

There's a saying and it goes a little something like this " ONCE YOU GO BLACK YOU NEVER GO BACK" :eclipsee_
