I'm going to be there tonight with my brother running his AU Fairmont Ghia. I'm not really sure what to expect, he's got a BA intake pipe and modified XR8 pod box with FG snorkel. I'd guess a high 15.

Done a bit of google and see that there isn't that many servos that sell it around.

the Capri should be painted this weekend, got the guard n door back last weekend, it's all been primed and sitting ready for paint. we will probably be back out in the next few weeks. maybe as early as next week if he paints it this weekend. mine is ready for start-up, got to put a reverse cowl on the bonnet and still paint the front end and bonnet. we talked about doing Snowy Mountains 1000, Joe read the article and it looked interesting, he wasn't totally convinced but i'm talking him into it, it's good exposure for the car. it would require a diff gear change. the car is hitting 8000rpm over the 1/4-mile line with the 3.5's (167mph, 270km/h), he wants to throw in 3.2's anyway for the new engine, it should be 10-12mph quicker over the 1/4. the car has been about 290km/h+ down the back of Eastern Creek, it seemed very stable. not sure what it would do at an event like that, it would have to crack well into 300km/h, maybe 320. not sure how stable it will be at 200mph ![]() |

Good to see getting cool air up at Willowbank. Was also good the other Wednesday when I visited Willowbank, I liked how you get a nice close view of the burnouts and launch.
That red dual cab truck doing wheelies and 12 seconds still brings a smile when I look at the video lol. |

Cooma is getting the start of the track fixed up.. (No grip last year) So it might be better for grip but it's up hill and thinner air.. Might need a tune..
Temora seemed to be better, but stopping at the end, that looked a bit hairy for some cars lol.. There are a heap of vids on youtube and Gasolene were at temora aswell.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBKWVI3_Z5M http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYDvndFYjs4 Cooma http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2g5nP3RXFF8 Well no one in AUS has done 300kph at one of these events so he could be the first one.. |

i know he wouldn't change diff gears for the purpose of the 1000m, i think he would just go out with the 1/4 mile gearing, records aren't too important, with the amount of sub-category records you see these days anyone can be the quickest ![]() ![]() i'm not sure how much stopping room, it pulls up no issue with brakes only at 170mph on the 1/4 has big drum brakes on the back. could get hairy, i remember when we were in it going down the Creek, 2 of us at nearly 300km/h was worried if it pulled up but it did ![]() |

I was gunna head out last night but my mid afternoon nap turned into a 14hr sleep. Since I ran last I've got a 100 cell cat back on and a set of leaking 2.5" Ph4495's whilst I fix up my 3" ph4495's. I heard it was pretty quiet last night though. The weather looked nice.

I think last time they got 6 or 7 runs for the day..
No slicks, but you can have drag radial.. I think Cooma is near full all ready, but you might be able put your name down early.. It is a timed event but the big boys are looking to be the first to crack 300kph over the distance.. Can't take away being the first one.. lol.. A turbo VL has done 0:19.6930 / 296.6 kph that was 2011 Nissan GTR R35 WR600 0:19.2510 / 289.2 kph 2012 That was at Temora.. Anyway enough out of me and this topic.. Just hope to see you guys there.. |

There's a street meet on this Sunday.
With the public holiday it's pretty tempting to play around with the setup on the car but I don't think I'll get a PB with the exhaust as it is right now. |
