This Easter weekend at Shakespeare County Raceway Sunday and Monday bring your car along cause it's run what you brung £15 to race all day.
A round of the ACW SRS series some 9 second street cars.
I'll be there I want to put the Z28 down the drag strip for the first time and spray the car as well.
I hope to be a member of the 12 second club by the end of the weekend.
Cheers Andy

I have Michillen pilot sports on the back F1 technology and they grip like hell or hook up as our American buddies would say.
No really joking aside for a car this fast I get very little wheel spin.
I know it's only a GTech time but I've had 0-60 in 5.04 seconds and I think if I worked at it I could get that below 5 seconds.
According to published figures I should be 5.20 0-60mph.
I have lid and fast toys ram air Z06 Maf and smooth bellows and I hope to get the TC in tomorrow. That's worth 1/2 second.
So 13.8 is stock for my A4 2.73 geared car so -1/2 second puts me 13.3.
100 shot on Nitrious 1 second 12.3!
Heres hoping! bench racing easy! aint it!
Doing it always another thing!

Nothing serious!banging exaust issues which need straightening out & need to readjust my wire harness it's still to near my headers & everytime i take it out, it smells like strong burning plastic, so i purchased some thermal tape! But i need to get the car back in the air to sort these problems out & don't have access to a lift & the street i'm on is on a slight gradient so jack stands are too risky!
When i did my headers i used the pub carpark, jack stands & 4breezeblocks, but they're now doing building work on it.

I am waiting for a few bits to do my headers install, I have gaskets, O2 extentions and O2 sims on there way from USA right now.
I was hoping to do the TC today but it's raining here and although my car fits in the garage there not much room to work around it. But I supposed all this will be from under the car so once it's on the ramps and axles stands. I won't get wet.
Forcast for Sunday and Monday for drag racing is good!

No I have to jack under the side then get my large trolly jack under the K member. I can jack the car high enough then to just put the ramps under the wheels
I have about 2 hours work left to finish TC install it was hell I'm knackered.
Top bellhousing bolts are a right B-----d
Box was well and truely stuck to the dowels took me 2 hours to pry it off
I hope this secondhand TC is ok cause I ain't got the energy to change it back.
Headers will have to wait until next weelend.

Tc is finally in and up and running.
It turned out to be the install from hell, because I didn't get the TC located properly on the front of the autobox resulting in a broken pump.
I ordered a rebuild kit from USA, Oregon Performance transmissions (Ebay.com) for $40 then with the help of my brother got that fitted and the car is back on the road 2 days ago.
It feels different and looser the the standard TC, it's meant to be worth 1/2 a second at the drag strip so it should be worth the trouble. I blew away one of these new Nissan 350Z's so seems like it's working ok! It also gave us a chance to see what the condition of the autobox was like. We replaced the filter and changed the fluid and the box looks good for 80,000 miles useage.
I am gonna leave the headers for now because I know they are gonna be a right B-----d of an install after doing headers on my previous 95 Z28 LT1 Camaro.
So now I'm ready for drag racing at Shakespeare County Raceway American Car World Nationals 13th and 14th of may. American cars only on the strip RWYB.
I'm not gonna tempt fate and say I'm going for a certain time lets just see how the car goes and I gonna spray the car also, prolly start with the 50 shot and work my way up to 100 and I have 125 in reserve. These are flywheel figures so the car will easy handle 125 shot.
I have all the safety precautions for the Nitrous window switch, FPSS, blow down tube. I have sprayed the 50 shot on the street and it kicks in like a turbo when you hit the set 3.000rpm limit to start spraying. I have it kicking out at 5,700 for the gear shifts.
See you guys there this is the best American car drag meet of the year and it includes a show and shine if you just wanna chill
