Things break along they way; you replace them with stronger items.

Give Spiro time : he'll get there.

Did he blow a modded gear box?????

[Boostn]

I think in the posts it said a modded box...

Thanx for the update guys!

[geea]

I think Spiro was using a YarraValley Auto Box. Probably best for Spiro himself to confirm this. It's going to need a special box to cope with his power.

Geea.

Spiro is running beyond the recommended torque limit of that modded box.

As I've said before, we push the limits, and things break.

It was not unexpected. Spiko will address that issue, plus other issues that he'll soon find with the power level he wants to run. I'm going through the same loop.

If he wants to run 9's wouldnt he have dumped the factory gear box for something serious ?

The factory box will only slow him down

Adam,

There's a bit more to it.

Spiko uses the car a daily driver also, not a dedicated drag car, possibly why the hope of the 4-speed holding together.

No doubt Spiko is currently reviewing the situation.

The other problem/issue up here is that as soon as you break 11s you need a roll cage..... and no, we don't really want to move to Melbourne.

So he is hoping for a single 9 second pass and then say "yep, done that, don't want a cage"?

If so, then lmao.... He should use a G-tech or something to practice first

You need a roll cage anywhere you go now and if he runs 140mph which he will need to to get a 9 he will also need a shute on the back

Going to be hard to get one of these cars to run 9's and be a daily driver

But good luck

Spiko is a very experienced drag racer.

When does a full pass it'll be such that he wants to shatter whatever the record is at that time, and he's setting the car up to do it.

He is one very determined person, and I hope his patience is rewarded.
