No idea what you are on about. Whats your point Harry? Velluto

Hey Toecutter - listen to this Guy and find a workshop that has the Atomic tool or is prepared to invest in one. It is the real deal. Velluto

The date is April 06. You dont have the LPG rods unless they were fitted after the car was made.

If any of you Aussies were thinking of coming across to the first of these street races in Hamiton (1 hour approx south of Auckland) then you may want to take a look at my auction on www.trademe.co.nz. Put 136784431 into the 'search' field. I got caught with too many so stuck them on with a very low reserve (less than my true costs!) so now they are going, going, going.......soon to be gone. Bugger! The auction closes tomorrow so dont piss around. They are a block of 8 (4 in front row and 4 directly behind) in what I believe is the best stand, the Stadium Stand. If you are serious and want to make an offer you can PM me. Thanks, Velluto

Can I just add for anyone in NZ......these short motor assemblys are also available through Ford dealers here. Same part number. Retail $3000 plus GST. I believe the trade margin around 20%. At that price certainly not worth buying in Oz and bringing in. Velluto PS: thanks for your PM 'Straughsberry' with product codes.

I also had a very bad Motec experience. Had to tie car to back fence at night to stop it wandering and shagging the neighbours cat. Use to howl at the full moon too. Dont go there Mate!

Personally.............I'd be rapt with that. I have similar power (333) and could only manage a 13.7 at Meremere in NZ (we notice over here that your times for same car/power are quicker in Oz - something to do with underarm bowling!?!?!?! - more likely to be the superior track surfaces you have). After that it was 14s with 60ft of 2.5-2.6. I am not good at getting off the mark. My speed same as yours 178-180kmph or 112mph. I was on streets also. I know my car can go quicker....right now the driver is the problem. Enjoy your '12 something' Mate. I am sure you will go quicker. "they" say you will take up to .75 of a second off with something like an E/T Street (not street radial) so that would take you into low 12s. The way I see it, I would still rather have a manual for the 99.9% of the time I am not tearing down the strip. Velluto

I hope this thread stays public as I am very interested in the outcome. Thanks Velluto

Thanks. Now I feel stupid. Will remember to tick the box in future. xrdreaming - nice one mate! Thankfully I dont have that problem anymore. Hope you Guys are happy with your new leader. I was surprised to see the poll which was 70:30 in favour of the old fart. We are hoping for change over here next year too. Wellington is now called Helengrad.
