  1. Hey mate, That's me, it has an 2.5" twin X-force system.
  2. I changed my rear tyres before I went to the drags on Sunday, I left them at a factory with the intention of changing them back later. After some issues with my car I ended up leaving the car at my tuners. Next morning I find out that the factory had been broken into and the thieves had stolen my rims. There are 2x Speedie Inferno 19x9.5" in Black, with Kumho KU31 96Y 275/30R19 tyres. As well as my rims, a lot of tools were stolen, such as a Mig Welder, Circular Saw, Dolly kit, Drop saw and a large tool box. If anyone offers you these rims. please take their number and pass it on to me, as I would very much like to chat to however did it. Before you ask, the factory was not insured as it has only been occupied for 4 days. Needless to say it is insured now and an alarm system has been fitted. It also now has a caged entrance, windows have been secured and whopping big pole put up on the roller door to stop ram raids. If you are a member of another car forum, I would appreciate if you would post a link to this thread. Here is what they look like (although there are the front ones)...
  3. Thanks guys, It was run on MT's, street tyres would not cope at all at this power level. Next time up I will get the boost down low upped a bit, it was not boosting off the line. Very happy though for it's test run.
  4. Well I took her out to Heathcote today, damn it was hot! it was 30. Anyway, I got a new personal best... 60ft= 1.976 660ft= 7.64 @ 97.44mph ET = 11.68 @ 120.94mph I will upload a video later. Only had a couple of runs, had a slight problem with a rough idle, sounded like I had a big lumpy cam, she was not a happy girl after 3000rpm. It was okay to drive home, I have dropped it off at Dr Chris's for a checkup. It's nothing terminal, suspect maybe a valve spring might have busted? don't know I will wait for the diagnosis. __________________
  5. First there is the engagement ring, then there's the wedding ring, next is the suffer ring. hehe Congrats mate, I am sure she will be rapt with whatever ring you get her as long as it's not too el-cheapo. About 3-4K should do it (geez that could buy a lot of mods), Maybe take your Mum or your sister (or someone else with good taste) along to pick it out (if they can keep a secret that is), DO NOT take her best friend though, it will end in trouble.
  6. I got mine yesterday, great finish on them very happy :) Did you find out about the overflow cap by any chance? Thanks Chris.
  7. Yes, it has a X-Force twin 2.5" system with 4" dump, also has a PW V2 surge tank. Got it back tonight, WHOA! the top end torque is unbelievable, it just keeps pulling away as a foolish VN driver found out tonight. Boost comes on so quick the BOV was getting a workout I haven't got any MT's to run on it so I won't race it tomorrow.
  8. I pick the car up tomorrow, can't wait It will be a monster, can't wait to see what it does down the track.
  9. My car has been at Bluepower for a while as Chris has been making some slight modifications to the car. Plazmaman 1.2K plenum kit (included AirBox and IC) Wastegate and Actuator mod New Injectors Crow Valve Springs The car is making 380.8rwkw @ 18psi on 98oct, I am VERY happy with that. The only downer is the Plazmaman IC is not that efficient at this power level, I am losing 5rwkw each run due to engine temps rising. I was hoping to try out one of the new Plazmaman bar and plate, but it looks like that is not going to happen. So I am thinking that perhaps I will look at a PW stage 3 IC. I will take it to Heathcote on Friday, (providing I can get a loan of some MT's), so I will see what it runs down the track. Attached is the dyno sheet A big thanks to Chris and Theo @ Bluepower who have put in a lot of time and energy into this project. You guys are champs. Doogstar_380.pdf
  10. I have Kumho 275's on the rear (although I will get better tyres soon), don't get 245's on 9.5" rims you will regret it.
