Congrats to Robbie Ward from RIPS in NZ for running 7.14sec @ 180mph in his FED. YOUTUBE VID (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPAWHYDdHb0&feature=player_embedded)

Niiiiiice.

Not the quickest mile an hour, 185m/h by maatouk. Imagine if he had a funny car what he would do.

Thanks Ants.. so they still havent got all the power in it yet. Will go 6's for sure.

Glad he did my engine

wow 181.94 i think matouks best is like 185 even isnt it so like 4 mph so nothing in it between them for speed really.

in drag racing 4 mph and 1/10, even 1/100 is huge

from rips "The engine is a fully streetable, fully water cooled RB30, it runs on petrol, the block is stock (no sleeves) stock RB30 crank, stock cradle, stock mains bolts, stock size 11mm head studs, RB26 head, Link G4 ecu, RIPS intake plenim, RIPS 90mm throttle body, RIPS exhaust manifold, twin turbosmart wastegates, GTX45 turbo 35psi, 2 speed powerglide trans, 4.86 gears, MT 10.5 tyres. we usually do 1 oil change per season, a set of plugs last 2 seasons and the motor did 3 years untouched (head never off, sump never off) at 1400hp/9500rpm. This is a fully streetable engine that we could easily take out and put back in a street car and drive long distances without issue. It idles at 900-1000rpm, runs on petrol and has a full normal cooling system etc, Its almost criminal how mild this engine is compared to other very low 7, high 6 second engines.

Thats crazy

What's even crazier is their new drag car. Twin turbo nissan v8, should be one to watch when it's finished...

Its actually 188 mph for maatouks.

The time board would of been good to see instead of looking at the wheelie bars and the engine

Car has gone 188 but probably not pb it's et which is why fullboost would not show it.. Full boost is also very out of date with the records lol eg. It has vlboss 8.65 when I know for a fact it has gone 8.0 Boostn shows up still in the 8s when it has gone sevens so I wouldn't take that as gospel mate... Good time by the way congrats..
