[FS5]

are au i6 drivers gettin soft?
anyone been hitting the drags lately ???
its nearly winter and the weathers cooling down nicely...
what times are the old i6 running these days?
anyone crack a 13 yet????

[The Monty]

Other then Stiddy, thats a deffinate no on a 13. I keep trying different things, and still come up short (and broken) every time. Another couple of weeks Ill try again though.
I dont know what it is with everyone else, all talk that there cars are super fast, and will do this, and can do that, but when it comes to actually doing it, they all tuck there tails and run the other way with a barrage of excuses.

Thems fightin' words ;) im up there wed champ.. would be good to catch up again?
Street trim no smoke and mirrors , trying something in two weeks as well and want a decent reference point !

7 degrees predicted this week!

You lightweight guys should all be in the 13's by now ?? hehe.

[The Monty]

I cant this week, My diff is in the shop after munching itself last week. But as soon as its back in, Im there with bells on. See whats next on the list of things to break. Im starting to find it rather amusing, see how hard I can drive it until something breaks, each time is a wonderful and exciting new adventure into destruction world.

And I know your car does 13's, proven ones, Id really like you to have a look over my car and a tinker before we go out next time if your keen?

[SLO AU XR8]

I have to get mine back together, rego'ed and then I'll head out in about June trying to crack close to a 13 in my N/A 8

Absoluely josh and you can steer my car for a pass too ... I wanna see it launch. Pm your ph No and we can bench race one weekend shortly?

[Stattic]

Haha yep that's me barrage of excuses. Kicking myself that I didn't find out about heathcote earlier but there's always so much going on. I think Calder is now 85 entry lol ahhh I'll get there eventually. Don't expect a 13 tho lol

[FS5]

i'm keen for one last bash josh,when you get the blue car back on the road.
i'm thinking lets strip em to the bare bones and see what they'l do.


i remember a couple years back ,seemed like everyone used to hit the drags.i'l admit i've been a bit soft too ,i haven't been out to WB for a run in nearly 2 years..

stav you still out there mate ,what you been up to????

[The Monty]

I think Stav retired.
I just get sick of people claiming there car should/would/can/will but never has run a certain time. Its all good to pee in someones pocket, but to back up some of these claims on here would be awesome.

[Stattic]

Sorry are you bagging someone in particular ?

[The Monty]

LOL. Nah, not bagging anyone at all in particular, more of a blanket spread.
Its just that you see so many people claim there car is faster than yours, has more power, is way better, and they will prove it, but never do. I know what my car can do (when its not broken) and Im ok with that, its not fast, its not a ferrari, and thats ok to me.

[xr8ute]

Its been almost 12mths since i was last at the drags...it thought it would only be another two months before I had ported the intake and had another crack.

I will probably sell my ute before i get it back to the track :(

Life can get in the way...

[Stattic]

Oh lol you just seem pretty venomous on the subject. Meh I will get there eventually lol

[The Monty]

Not venomous, all in a good nature.

My car is faster then yours, has more power, and is way better, and I will prove it.. maybe...one day...

I think the problem is with the NA I6 owners chasing power / times is that a lot of people want to retain "driveability" in their car. Not everyone wants a huge cam, big stallie and short diff gears. But then there's people like Josh who don't care :P Having drvien Josh's car its not really that bad, a little doughy in the low rpm but it still remains drivable..Thus why the 13's are still a big ask for an AU..

But, I am also surprised more people are not buying 4k AU's, spending 4k and running good numbers...

As for going to the drags, when most of us rely on our AU's for a daily the idea of breaking stuff is not something we all can handle financially, when we have to work the next day...

[The Monty]

I know yours is faster, and sounds much much nicer, lol.
I think the problem is mainly the readily available kits for Turbo and supercharging now, at super good prices. For between 3500-4500 you can have a solid 220kw and retain easy driveability. It all comes down to money, and setup, Id love to keep chasing, and I have a little bit more to do, then thats it for me, Im already happy enough with what I run, any more is a bonus.

How sad must it be to own an Au that only runs 13s. LMAO...........

[POELWYK]

Wow, way to make friends...

It's like me saying "How sad it must be to be a taxi mechainic.."

Also curious to see what your car has run.

[The Monty]

He has claimed a few things, let me see:

Thread about making 300hp atw in an NA 6:
Having built racing engines for a living, only an idiot trys to make this kind of power N/a. Just shows the lack of Automotive knowledge..


Couple of posts later:
Lmao..... I've built Ba engines that NA produce well in excess of 300 hp at the wheels (for speedway)

He has called us all idiots, and fools. He claims his car is fast, and built by him, but has never seen a dyno as thats just stupid. Obviously it runs a 12 or quicker, or he wouldnt have posted in here. So I guess we should all just open our arms and welcome him?

My maths figures 300hp as 223odd kw. 223 odd kw a 12 second car does not make.

[ayeyew]

I ran an 11.78


But that was when i was 14 at my schools athletics carnival over the 100m

I am still to take my car to the track. Want a couple of other things done to it before i get there.

[Day-mow]

hahahahahahahaha... awesome

What light from beyond the window breaks lol. Mate I have never given up hope but have had the wagon in its daily duties for a while now.. I am itching to go but when I go I want to feel that the car is ready...slowly sifting through the odds and ends and maybe just maybe Ill run the bus again I was kinda hoping for someone to give it a go but its quiet ...

[The Monty]

About time you came back for another run.

how sad it must be to troll forums to start crap with people trying to have a laid back conversation. like people have said, you wanna talk, show some proof. if youre telling the truth its still rude to speak like that about other peoples cars, people have spent huge amounts of their time on some of these cars, why dont you read some of the build threads (especially the blue lagoon) and youll see the hard work youre making fun of

[ayeyew]

^^ BAH! Take that diff gears for sale ad out of ur sig :(

I got excited until i got to the end of the for sale thread :(

WAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaa
