My ute left Melbourne (on TNT) today so wont have it back till next week - babow.

If the weather is good I might still come (I'll just have to bring my other car)

For those of you that are interested, the reason it has been out of action for a while

is I decided to upgrade a few things on the ute.

The main one was the trans. It had been slipping since I came back from Perth (Drag combat runner up) so rather than just get it rebuilt to standard specs it was stripped & now has kevlar clutches, custom servos & valve body, heavy duty shift kit etc. The torque convertor has been rebuilt & the stall has been increased by 300 rpm (still with lock up). While it was off the road, bruce did an excellent job of fitting GT valve springs, & a bosch fuel pump. The turbo was removed & has had a larger wastegate & actuator fitted.While it was all off, I got the exhaust manifold/turbine housing/wastegate housing ceramic coated. When it all went back on a full stainless exhaust was also fitted.

After the trans guy in Melbourne finished with the trans, Simon from Nizpro did some fine tuning. With the Cobra stage 2 kit & these extra mods this set-up is easily capable of 350rwkw, but as it still has the std internals & I want to use it every day & occasionally tow my race car with it, I asked Simon to back off the tune to around 300rwkw. The main goal was huge mid-range torque rather than more top end power, so cant wait to get it back next week & see how the tyres like it!

See yall on Sunday.
