Love it man. Nice build.

BLR346

Thanks, going back to the track in a few weeks, so hopefully I can get an 11.5

BLR346

Went back, was having some issues so couldn't manage an 11.5
Best I got was 11.790@116

Nice times man, I hope I can get mine to a below 11.5 time aswell, and still have good manners, Problem, I wanna do it NA though!!, so NOS will be needed.

Nice ride... I have always loved this platform, it's a shame our G8s died so soon, and the Chevy SS Sedan is years away. US EPA can also suck it.

Awesome ride man! I can't wait to visit AU.

Nice one blair,

you sure thats FE2 in the rear, seems to be sitting quite low but it squats fairly well

BLR346

Totally missed these replies, haven't been on here much.

Munz - Yeah it's FE2, the pics with the 19" wheels on the beach and all that it was lower though, but I put the fe2 back in after having issues with police attention.

Thanks everyone else, its fun to drive.
Will be racing it again next month in my first bracket race meet so hopefully that goes well.

What tyres are you using at the track and which track? Calder or Heathcote?

BLR346

Mt et street radials in 235/60/15
I race at both but preference has always been Calder park.

Little update.

I entered a nitro meet the weekend just gone. I was in super street.

1st qualifying run I had fuel surging issues.
1.573 60'
11.85@103mph - just rolled through the last of the fun because it wasn't getting fuel.
Finally got a 1.5 60' previous best was 1.606

Secon qualifying run
1.559 60'
11.705@114.95 - new pb. Previous was 11.790

3rd qualifying run
1.573 60'
11.728@114.75

Being that it was my first dyo style race meet I'd entered I asked advice from a couple friends. They suggested 11.68 dial in. So I went with that.

First elimination run.
11.68 dial in.

Rt .261
1.601 60'
11.813@114.36

My opponent Dialed in 11.08
He ran
Rt .305
1.579 60'
11.165@117.48

He beat me by .0055

Was a good learning experience for me though. Had lots of fun and ill be back go try again.

Wash your car you kent, you might go faster .

BLR346

Haha yeah I know.

Little update, diff is stuffed. First mechanical issue from about 100 passes down the track and heaps of street abuse.

Had it tuned to e85 last week, 60lb injectors and a new fuel pump. Feels more responsive, but could do with some more compression. THat will happen after I fix the diff.

Hey mate what extra power did you end up making going to e85? What comp are you running?

BLR346

Currently stock comp, got some milled 243's going on soon.

Not sure on power increase, the converter is flaring on the dyno so the figure actually dropped.

But the car is more responsive.
