Oh right, Ian! Hey! I bet you felt 1000ft tall out-dragging the porsche! No doubt he had a few excuses...

Ps. what 1/4 mile tmies can you run with that power? I'm guessing your using a PG-1?

hello

didnt have much look with it the pother sunday when i raced that porsche as i had a throttle postion switch prob , was only reading 0 volts constantly :cry:

, but now fixed and does seem to go better , just need to try and find a cold air kit for it , my last one run a 14,001 1/4 mile

and no i'm still on a r65 1400 box :wink:

Lol, thats ace, the 1400 box still coping! What induction system is on it at the moment then? I ditched my open pipercross for the original cold airbox, then i stuck an ITG element in there, cut off the cold air intake elbow and put a better cold air feed in coming up from the bumper. I heatwrapped the fannymold too to keep temps down a tad. Ideally i'd like an enclosed cone but i just can't afford one! :cry:

....thats a hell of a lot of damage.....reminds me of when i went from fifth to second (instead of fourth) when i was learning to drive :oops:

....glad that never happened!! Looks like where the liner has no surrounding support is where weaknesses are under extreme circumstances....any idea what rpm was used to do that?
