Yes well it was bound to happen sooner or later.

First run was a 13.462@168kmh
Backed up an hour later (That's how long it is between runs at Calder) with an even better 13.432@169kmh
And a final run of 13.66@169kmh with wheelspin off the line.

Needless to say I am stoked. Once again Thanks Whoosha for the lend of the LEGENDARY TOYO PROXES RA1 rubber. 5 years old and still putting down the times.

I did find 3rd, I also found that I don't know where my rev limiter is. I did see my tacho at just over 6000rpm, well into the red but she was still making power there.

Well done russ, it's been a long time coming. Looks like you were right with what you said a heathcote about grip.
I guess we can't call you stroker dud no more then.

Cheers

Cheers guys. I'm now seriously considering a stally and some diff gears to see if I can push it into the 12's.

Meh, more fuel. When you get less than 250k around town it starts to matter very little if it gets worse.

Thanks Melz, it is about time. It's only taken the best part of two years.

Nice job Russ. 3.9 diff gears would definetly be a worthwile mod and probably one of the best bang for buck mods you can do to a car. Plus a 12 is a very nice number

. You will actually get more k's out of your tank if you use the car around town but you will burn a bit more from freeway driving. If you are having troubles with your lsd i strongly reccomend getting a kaaz 2 way lsd. Easily one of the best mods ive done.
