Looks like you had fun Wade. I guess you have too wait 6months to see how the car really goes with some cold air. So does 30 passes mean your misses will much rather you being out surfing instead of racing? lol. At least till heathcote....

Thanks for the 14.4 Uselss but you got the best time on the day my PB was 15.4. Even if I did get the pleasure of beating you in our head to head race while you warmed your tyres on thr strip. No burnouts past the start line allowed mate!

Very nice lookin ute I only wish I could afford one.Yer I had an 11.8 two 11.9's and usually hovering about the low 12's, It's very hard to be consistant on street tyres with a manual,I have put a roller cam in since then,Im looking to get 125-126mph out of it but i really dont want to do a 10 as the cars not worth puttin a roll cage into

Was a great day but the heat was ridiculous, lol.
I parked the car at lunch and didn't run again due to a couple of problems. My auto started slipping badly, and was making sickly noises. A bigger problem was the vibration at the top of the track that was slowly getting worse....looks like one or both of my uni-joints are a bit floppy :( However, It was nice to smash my old PB and run a 14.291 @ 97.47. It was the last run I did before my auto started slipping. Some pictures my bro took are here, http://fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=29471
