I should be out and about in a week or 2 if I see you around ill come and say hi to you. After looking at your vidoe are you having trouble building boost on the trans brake? Is your throttle body shutting? You have one really fast car keep up the good work.Bahaha, that's not just a little car mate. It would have to be a damn weapon unless it hasn't been tuned...How much is it making or hasn't the build finished yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still running the standard flex plate as I don't make any power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomiCg6 Donating Members 197 Member For: 13y 11d Posted 14/09/12 09:18 AM Author Share Posted 14/09/12 09:18 AM heyy guys story is, converter bolts come loose again, and somehow snapped the dowell from the converter itself, which ive had replaced with a bigger stall now, further investigation shows abit of damage to the belt around the balancer andthe balancer being flogged out only after 5000kms, which was causing massive vibrations.. So brad has Kindly replaced it with a new re enforced 1, which is getting installed atm, no damage was done to the flexplate this time, so hopefully the new balancer will fix all problems Also the guy that writes up the programs from herrod, is making me a something so it doesnt read the automatic tranny anymore, which was causing alot of faults with the car running well.. shouldnt be to far off now I hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a pain in the bum this car has become this week my new auto started leaking after driving it 2 km! The bolts that hold the bell housing and the pump in sheared the thread out from inside the casing, Who built your converter dude? TCE? Are you using Lock Tight and the bolt Atomic provided with the flexplate? Hope you sorted man it must be very frustrating.
