yea I do remember your car I think david I was in the phantasy purple (but I aint gay) with dark tail lights. I got a few mates in bilo that have some kinks to iron out before I head again, one needs a clutch, one needs a tune and the other is waiting on some fresh paint, none of these are fords btw I think that's half there problem haha jokes and most important some decent tread for me. I wont dare travel the gladdy to bilo road at midnight by myself too much wild life that's why I sit at the back of the pack, had 4 cars traveling back with me on friday night and we nearly collected 3 roos and a mate in his clubby hit a rabbit but holdens love dints dont they?

picking my car up this weekend from PRE dyno in mackay all the work is done and dave has had his fun with the tune. Ended up settling with 353rwkw and round the 1000nm of torque which should make it fun to go get the milk and bread from the shops with. Goin on some car cruise to a car show just out of mackay this weekend if anyway is from up that way if not will see ya's all at the next drag meet will be good meeting some people and seein what others have done.

Carl,

Run us through what you have done to your car. I had all my stuff fitted, supplied, and fitted by dave, and ended up with 330rwkw, and 1074Nm. Just wondering what the comparison of mods to power is (is yours a BFI or II). Dave mentioned when he tuned my car that if it was his he would have pumped it out to 390 as he feels was just working realy well, he brought it back a lot for me, and he fells it could have reliably gone as high as 390, so I'm realy considering it... the bug bit hard, and now I can't stop.

Bonjaz,

Same as what I asked carl... I'm just itching to see how I'll fare at benaraby, and palmyra for that fact.

Just checked the wesite, the next test and tune is on the 30th October, and the day night is the day after . Who's planning on heading down to this one? it'd be good to ahev a meet and greet befor racing and check out what mods every one is running.

This might sound stupid, but by day night I'm guessing your not talking cricket?

[Bonjaz]

yea matty its unreal fun going to the strip, but if I were you I would definately get some decent tread first cause I went there and you hear all these people 300rwkw an running 11s on semi slicks and I just went on street tires and it was good fun but I was a little disapointed that I didnt have a slip reading something faster I know I got lots of improving to do so its a good excuse to go back for another run haha

[mattyb]

I'm screwed then lol, I'v only got Nankangs... hmmm, might wait till u get yours and steal em on the night

[jorgo]

a day night is a points round.

And so begins my education on the drags, I follow Andra big events like Winternats etc a bit, but not much of the local stuff.
