Damn, well done stav. About time you had some good luck with the wagon.
What was the air temp of the night like? The figures on the sheet are buggered. Bet you can't wait for winter with even colder air temps.

Good luck

Cheers

Thanks mate.Its not a big improvemnt but it wasnt backwards either. The car has a few issues I have to fix .Apart from that some more minor mods should make it a bit faster...

It ran back to back 14.2's consistently.

Thanks guys.Funny enough the faulty gearbox worked flawlessly...there are some issue though that I have to fix and do some minor mods that I should have done when I proted the head..I would like to see 100 mph eventually and I am even closer to that elusive 13!!

Congratulations Stav. You crack me up, you certainly know how to tune your car on the spot.

The wagon definitely needs a diet, have you ever thought about taking all that stuff out of it? And yeah, get rid of that towbar! Awesome time mate.

Hahah yer mate.It was good to have your company tonight . I have to remove that towbar.Also last week I noticed a huge mismatch between throttle body and manifold.The throttle body is choked by the manifold face!!Porting that alone has got to get me down there quicker!!

Nice work Stav ... weird that the auto decided to play nice on the night for you.
It won't be long though ... you've eventually got to hit 13s.

I dunno mate..96.75 mph is telling me that the wagon is pulling 165 rwkws. To get this bus faster will take some luck or some more power.The car was running rich on the night but removing fuel had it detonating in one cylinder.I must be careful..I want it to last a little ..The only option for me from here on in is to get more power.I need another 15 rwkws.

Nar nos....Its a nice idea but the wagon should go quicker with some basic mods that I should have already done .As mentioned the throttle body is totally mismatched to the manifold.It is not even getting full stock airflow!!

Heheh mate you know I came from humble beginings and like you am learning.Yep I will consider totally stripping it out and running again in winter.I estimate I can remove around 90kgs from it as is but well see if I do it. If I can muster some more power from a few mods than maybe its what I need to achieve what I am hoping to.
All is fair in love and war is my new drag racing motto.That way well see if these things can really go any good. The other thing I would like to experiment with is manually shifting my gears.I will practise over the next few weeks to see if my car likes it or not. I dont know how it will behave but I have fallen in love with this sexy shift light which I installed for a customer the other day..looks awesome!!
