I think 12.4@115mph but im sure he will confirm. The gearbox was protesting though, the second to third gear shift was slow and you could hear it flaring at half track. I think i got a couple of vids too, i will post later.

Yep was a best of 12.4 and 118mph and considering what was going on with the auto (the poor thing) and that I was only running 5psi of boost, I'm pretty happy. I was really hoping that the auto would hold on so I could get a couple of good runs in before it's retired, but such is life.

Thanks for the videos! It's good to hear what the car sounds like from outside.

12.4 is good for a top 3 finish in the Dutton 1/4 mile.... That some big points there....

Looks the goods mate

I had my auto rebuilt by a guy in Melbourne, mind you have not driven the car since because of engine problems, but he claims will withstand upto 800hp, for around $3200

Even with the motor being crap, the shift points in the auto was amazing.

What do they throw into the box to make them with stand that sort of HP... I thought there was now way of making those boxes any stronger...

Basically most of it was replaced, it amazing how thin some of those parts are.

Nice! how do you view those movies? I clicked on them and then photobucket sits there with a blank part of the screen....
Nice times!

Sorry vega, for some reason the links aren't working everytime you click on them. I will check it out.

Looks the goods Grant. Good to see you finally got her down the strip, and still proving how much standard boxes will take. I dont think you'll be as lucky with the auto as you were with the T5 though.

Catch you round no doubt.

Nice video's and the sound of your car grunter is just sweet. Can't wait to see your results in the Qld dutton. :sm_headba

Cheers

So bloody nice, well done finally getting her to the track Grunta.

Thats an awesome time mate.

What sort of boost is the motor built to take?

Noddy · 22-05-2006, 09:22 AM

Ok, it works now.

Thanks for the kind words guys and the video clips Matt.

Gary, thanks for the info. I hadn't heard about your car problems. I bet your looking forward to get it going again.

Andrew, I've got a spare auto to sell to you. Has low klms, and the 2nd to 3rd change is very very smooth. ;)

Gambit, it's been built to take a little more, but shooting for around 10psi. As it's a daily driver, I tend go for longevity vs out and out power on the tune (it's a age thing).

vegabass · 22-05-2006, 03:09 PM

Is that all? You guys obviously haven’t driven a 6!

Not a bad effort!! :dr_Evil:
