I'd love to get out there, but like XRQTOR, my car is rooted too (bent valve :( )

Good luck out there tomorrow night, fingers crossed for some good air and some PB's.

Mine's fine just doesn't have a diff in it, at all.

xr8ute · 03-05-2006, 01:20 PM

I didn't mean the same as in a bent valve, just that its off the road at the moment. My car is fine too, it just doesn't have a motor in it ;)

Do you know what you are going to do yet to strengthen the rear-end? Maybe swap out the IRS for a solid rear like some of the more hardcore 03/04 Cobra's in the states. It would be great to see you able to launch that thing hard at the track.

Good luck to those heading out tonight.

Great effort mate!, 11.3, nice to meet you. That XA of your's really hits the strip running. I'm sure with a set of stickier tyres a 10 is on the horizon.

Sounds like you guys are having too much fun!!

How consistant are your runs there mate, all your increments and mph are within bee's dudes of one another!

hot460 · 04-05-2006, 07:58 PM

[QUOTE=rodderz]How consistant are your runs there mate, all your increments and mph are within bee's dudes of one another![/QUOTE

I was happy with the consistancy!
Time to dyno the car and tune it properly. And drop the pipes and see how we go.

I like your optimism craig but I think there is more to it than just tyres, I think I need an engine like rich's

, It was great to meet you guy's and it was a pleasure to see that animal of a coupe go down the track, I still cant believe what it does with that baby 3000 convertor in aspirated trim, cant wait to see it on the gas.

Oscar of Markoz · 05-05-2006, 07:05 PM

Holy Crap dude. Thats a super consistent car there mate. Awesome work

I think I will wait awhile too put the gas in it. As much as I would love to do it NOW, the tech inspection has limited me too 10.0's. I need to change a few things with the cage etc. which will take time. I also need to sort out the rear end so it will cope with it all. More money.....

In the mean time it is great fun to drive! :eclipsee_
