  1. Mine went 12.3 @ 115mph with a 1.973 60ft on factory 17's 245 Cum Hoes.
  2. Yer ace I was stoked with the front bar, thanks again hey. Im keen for a cruise aswell just let me no when. Justa6 both the readings were from rdp's dyno at kippa ring. lee did tell me that he cleaned the tune up a bit dunno what he did exactly but it worked. Im wondering now how much time I could shave with a set of mt's. On the 12.3 run I got a 1.973 60ft and that was only with a short stall and no wheelspin. On my last run I waited and stalled it as far as it would go (2300) with everything flat held it for a moment and when I let it go it spun like I was on the street. How much would a set of mt's improve my time?
  3. Cheers ace, all fixed now. Cost me a bit but it was worth it hey.
  4. Hey SDP, tyres were khumo 245/35/17's and they were just above the tread indicator. I did all runs with 25psi hot. When I stalled it as far as it would go ( 2200 lol), it spun the tyres so I know I could do better with mt's. Cheers m8
  5. Nah m8, mines a merc silver sedan with xr8 bonnet on the standard 17's. cheers
  6. Gday, took the xr out to test n tunes to see how it went after the new tune. Last tune seen 362rwhp and went 13.361 @ 108.8mph. new tune made 386rwhp and went 12.336 @ 115.79mph. Stoked with the improved pb with such a little power increase. Wont let me upload time slip it keeps saying Error You aren't permitted to upload this kind of file. Cheers
  7. Well had a few runs at willowbank with next to no axle tramp. Had a bit on 1 run but only a little. Will still be getting new shocks soon though. Got a new pb car went 12.3 @ 115 mph so I was stoked.
  8. Cheers for the advice guys, going to leave it a few weeks till I have the extra cash for all 4. I'm heading out to test n tunes tomorrow night to see how bad it is with the new power. Only thing different from last time is 20rwkw more and I just cut the bump stops in half so we'll see what happens I spose. Cheers
  9. Its a sedan mate, last trip to the drags I had 270rwkw I have 290 now. Hopefully your theory is right. All the bushes would be standard I reakon and the car has done 120xxx so there probably stuffed. Cheers
  10. Gday, I have kings sl and ssl springs with standard shock at the moment and last time I was at the strip I was getting alot of axle tramp of the line. Looking at heading out again soon and was wondering if I get a pair of bilsteins just in the rear to reduce the axle tramp will I have any problems. I would love to go out and get all four but dont have the money right now. Cheers
  11. Happy Birthday richard!

  12. Have better photos here to upload but have reached my limit.
  13. Fair bit of mechanical damage aswell mate, brocken axle, my mag wheel is ripped to pieces so is the tyre, swaybar is bent. It took a fair whack on the arse.
  14. Yer guys no insurance, silly hey. I learnt the hard way.
  15. Yep she did, round 3Gs worth of damage. But cant cry over spilt milk can ya. Tell ya what though when its fixed no more driveys for her. lol
  16. Had a bad start to the year, coming home from a friends new years doo. I was way to drunk to drive so the missus drove for me. This is the first time she has driven it since I had the exhaust put on and dynoed to 386rwhp. She was able to handle the old power so didnt think a little more would worry her. Pulled up at a set of lights and I stupidley said to her to plant her foot to feel the power (big mistake), spun 1st into 2nd and then into guard rail. Im in need of some parts so if anyone knows someone wreaking a ba please let me know. I'm after a front bar headlight, tailight and bonnet. Cheers guys and happy new years to all.
  17. Yer johno 4inch prob is a bit of overkill but I had the chance to pick up a cheap system so I grabbed it. Not sure on the boost it was 10psi and that made 362 rwhp, lee said they tried to up the boost but it wouldnt make anymore power. Lee does know his stuff I am sure of that just spewing bout this little problem want to get it sorted asap. cheers
  18. Hey there guys, just had my car tuned by RDP and unfortuantly didnt make as much poswer as what I though it would. On my last tune by them it made 362 RWHP with the standard exhaust, since then I bought and had installed an xforce 4inch dump into 3 1/2 inch cat into twin 2 1/2 inch rears. This exhaust should flow easily up to 350 RWKW yeah??. The final result even after spending an extra hr on the dyno trying to squeeze more out of her was 386.9 RWHP. Lee told me that most BA's that have simalar mods tend to make over 400 overboosting and have to be pulled back from their to be safe and seems to think that everything is pointing towards a blockage in my new exhaust (which was bought second hand) and went on to say that it is very quite compared to others he'd heard. I happy with the way the car runs but think it should be making more. Might take it back to the exhaust place and get them to check out the system for blockages. Hers my mods list so anyways. Full xforce exhaust 4inch dump into twin 2 1/2 Bosh 42lbs injectors. Monza cooler. Rapids under battery pipe. K/N filter atomic valve springs flash 2 walbro pump made 386.9 Rwhp.
  19. I like your rims henz. white goes well with blue. I reakon im gonna go all chrome this time.
  20. Gday, I'm keen to get a set of 19 or 20 inch 5 spoke's and thought I'd hit you guys up for some pics of your rims for inspiration. Ive got 19 inch advanti viennas atm but want a change.
  21. I'm happy with my purchase, I have done my reasearch and for the power I am chasing and the budget I'm on couldnt go past xforce. I picked it up in near new condition for $1100, so that leaves me with more money spare for other mods. Cheers.
  22. Thanks for the that fellas. I'm going to put a better cooler on aswell then have it retuned. Cant wait to head out to willowbank and see how it goes. Cheers.
  23. G'Day fellas, I've just had my new Xforce 4inch dump, high flow cat into twin 2.5 fitted. I have to drive it a bit over 100klms to get it to my tuner. Just double checking that if I baby it I wont have any overboost/leaning out probs. Cheers.
  24. just a core for me aswell. I wont be chasing huge power just mid 300's. Cheers
