Now that is a statement to end all. You definitely know how to get your point across. The level of sickness in that photo sets the bar pretty dam high. That picture without a doubt, made my day. Thank You.
I wouldnt do it in the city, but out bush theres no traffic lights to contend with. Trying to get away up a hill with twin ceramic clutch would be tooth rattling.
It pulled it easily, i went max clicks on rear coilovers, above 3500rpm it pulled really really easy, sweet spot cruising was 2800rpm, i didnt try drag anyone , was worried about stopping 6100lb lol. Thats not to say i wouldnt tho
Reason i built this car is to drive it, i had a choice either my 3t isuzu truck which wouldnt notice it behind or the senator. No second thoughts here go for the one that sounds toughest lol
Its great to have confidence in the engine, finally, after 4 total rebuilds and 1 top end rebuild , im happy....
i go hard at it everytime i drive it, had a few drags towing 2500lbs ,cant help hitting the paddocks for a bit of speedway most times im at my country property, whenevr my kids are in the car at least 1 doughnut seems to happen, they love it ,, the day before dyno i smashed it for 35mins never dropping below 3500rpm, banging it off the limiter if had enough road, must have been at least 16 wot pulls on dyno and this is with the original driveshaft that i cut an inch off when changing to manual from auto, and a stock t56... how good is life!!!!!!
Only dissapointment so far is mustang drivers have been to scared to take me on, be great to smash a ford hahaha ,

Cars done 8000km/5000 miles since new cam went in so I thought I’d do 2nd oil change, new oil and air filter, empty catch can , check lash.. lash hasn’t changed at all on any rocker
oem starter motor is on its way out due to the heat so bought new solenoid and dropped my msd starter in, wrong solenoid ,spun wrong way so new one ordered... tune was touched up and now all’s spot on ....
i have 1st speed event in May at Bathurst so cars booked in on March 1st to have new underbody done , half roll cage put in , new front seats,harness, tow hooks and basically setting up for the track so all legal

Mick will be the first guy I know to tow a truck to the track with his racecar, race the car, then haul the truck home again.

I was driving home the other day and car all of a sudden got a miss... Its not mechanical , definitely electrical... It struggles up to about 3000rpm then goes great
Ive checked plugs and replaced, leads seem ok. If i put some rp7 on leads car goes great but once that burns away its back to the miss.
How would i test that the coils are good?

You have to ohms test them individually. Depending on the coil and type there are values to go by from the manufacturer. There are 2 separate testing points to check on each coil. You also need to do a spark test.
