Fags. I ran 2 13.0's on the weekend so close but no cigar next time. Also i got my car retuned on saturday and it made 188 kw it gained 23 kw from the dump pipe up grade not to shabby. Anyways was an awesome street meet there was 40 cars and something like 150 people.
The orange calais was out and about he rolled off a 12.9 on streets and an 11.8 against me it was mad fun i was in front off the line and then 2nd gear he pulled about a full car length and then about 3/4 of a car length every time i changed gears. Also there was a stock looking dark coloured front wheel drive lancer running 13.2s at 110 mph on street tyres full stealth it was pretty mad (for a lancer).

I think that lancer has been down from cairns before, pretty crazy.
Is that orange calais the kinda rough looking one that is parked at stockland sometimes?
Some bloke I know was out in his 300zx TT,just converted to manual, usual lack of traction story.

saw you lappin the strand last night foney, car sounds pretty sweet with that 3" exhaust. some tool was with a heap of mates on a cbr250 or something full on racing round that park bit nearly stacking it a few times.
Nice work Matt. Nearly 200kw is pretty impressive from an na. I wonder what the most power has been from one or 1/4 mile times. There was a post asking about it i think.

um yeah that lancer is pretty impressive he pulled up next to one of your mates with a skyline when he went up to cairns and the lancer guy is like is that your missuses car and then dusted him the skyline makes 260 kw
hahaha it was on video too
that would be one and the same orange vl mate i think he is a manager at crazy clarks or something.
the na turbo guys are all running 12s and one is running 11.90s i think one had something like 260 kws and was running a gt 35/40. I still have a few things left up my sleeve but mate I should be able to make my car do consistent 12s soon with the standard turbo.
I am getting a 25 5sp and a cam and springs and new clutch and then some billet axles from the states 350 bucks moser 31s plus postage and customs or something like that. That is what i am talking about

hey i finished cooler piping looks realllllll nice and professional cuz a good mate whos a boiler maker did all the welding. The only bad thing is i passed the pipe right over the engine fan so its effectively heating back up on the way to the TB but im gonna wrap the whole pipe after the cooler in exhaust wrap and hopefully this will combat that. Turned the boost up to 7psi and still hasnt gone kaboom so im thinking after we wrap the pipe up i might turn it up to 10

callum I wouldn't worry about the air heating back up again ... and that piping looks smicko ... how much did it end up costing? It would definatly be safe for up to 10 pound now, so wind it up already!!! keep up the good work!

I seen you out foney ... but you didn't stay down the strand long, getting pissed at home must have been to good of an option, can't blame you really!
