turbo ute79

pay fpv to build me a new gtho. but only one so no one esle can have one. and make my ute 1000rwkw so I had something to go to get beer in. (would need a ute cause I would be buying a lot of beer)

have a go you can give it the berries and dont have to worry about gettin in trouble for doin it.

jeez been away at work all week and missed it all. very entertaining reading fellas.

would love to know if anyone has done this conversion succesfully as im lookin at something similar for my ute

Spiro I dont exectly know how the saying goes but it is along the lines of "to the gladiator in the arena goes the spoils, to the critic in the stands watching... nothing" that thing is goin the run some serious numbers when it is sorted. love your work mate.

was bein pretty easy with the gearshift, goin out to the nostalgias tomorrow and goin to have a bit more of a go. and yeah duz 12 I was hoppin for around 125 mph will see if I can get near that tomorrow. just been too busy at work to organise better tires at the moment.for the record my mates maloo made about the same power as mine so I think we should have both run more mph. at the moment I am not too concerned as spiro said it will get quicker the more I drive it.

this is why I am busting my ass workin 7 days a week and trying to do the right things with my money now, so I can have toys like spiros in a few years.

any news.

nice, change the plates and the cops would not even look at it.

remember I have dibs on your motor when you sell it mick

what tires you running. I ran 119mph and car has shown over 500rwkw on 2 different dynos. mine is manual in a ute with old maxxis tires though. was pretty gentle with my launches and gear changes though.was still spinning in third under hard acceleration.

it was doin these ones raced the lad in the twin turbo maloo and was about same speed as him. he was on street tires with a manual too. good fun

the blue one with the towbar mate. I raced you once but I was a litte heavy on the gas and went nowhere off the start

txt me when you get back to town bud I have my old 3 inch exhuast under my house. you can have the thing if you want it. took ute to strip last night too and ran 13.4 @ 119 on street tires, bulk fun.

took ute to the strip last night for a bit of fun. ute was in full street trim year old maxxis tires and all. ended up running a best of 13.4 at 119 mph. had MAJOR traction problems. raced a mate with a twin turbo maloo when I ran the 13.4 and he was within a few hundredths and 1 mph of my time with basically the same power, gearbox and street tires. was hopin to get into the 12s in street trim however gettin of the line cleanly and gettin the power to the track is rather difficult with not a lot of difference between hooking up and turning the tires. still had a heap of fun and cannot wait til next time.

if you can get him to post it up in my thread in the the 500+ club

how did you get the broken collarbone?

anyone know what time the dyno comp starts

maybe after it we could go for a cruise somewhere. maybe go to tannum for lunch or something

buggered if I know what spray it was. killed my grass though.

oh oh oh dyno comp. I should be there. I only live round the corner.

dont think its gunna grow back for a while. missus is gunna go see the council tomorrow after work and if they didnt do it she is gunna find out who they rent of and put a complaint in. I have to let the missus handle it cause I would prob go too far with the relatiation and then I would be in the . not good to come home from workin away to find your grass dead.

anyone know what the go is with someone poisoning me grass. about a foot and a half into my side of the fence has been done. my fiance questioned the neigbors this arv and they reckoned the council did it. the other sides of the neigbors yard has not been done and there grass is longer than what mine is/was. (dont spend as much time on yard work as I should due to work atm but it is not that bad but still gets mowed once a week in summer) I dont think the council would do this as I have dogs and a vege garden about 2 metres from my fence. to say I am not happy is an understatement. any advice

The crash was epic. Amazing to see FC just walk out. Just shows it's not speed that kills it's lack of safety. Tell that to the diks who should be fixing our roads.
