What really pisses me off is all the hard work we put in to get it ready It was running great, sounded awesome, was on track for some big power then knock knock So next time it's running will be with the good motor and straight to the track chasing 10s or better

All jokes aside I'm sorry to hear that Troy, I was genuinely looking forward to seeing it in action. You seem to have the worst luck with cars. Maybe time for a new hobby!

Thx mate Haha my Gf would love that! She's sick of it If I sold every bit of my car stuff, we would have a very decent house deposit But I'm running a number b4 that I was getting really excited about 2day Had my front runners n qtp tyres ready to go, car all cleaned in and out then 4pm yesterday put a big downer on that At least this time round it's getting a built motor to see what it's really capable of Also can't believe it's spooling quicker than a smaller 76gts turbo with a smaller rear!

I'm excited about the new motor Really see what this thing does Might have to get u to have a chat with mark about the turbo to now the built engine is going in I would prob have killed a motor at powerplay anyway No oil cooler and it was pretty damn hot! Hopefully have my pistons here this week then see if Paul can do all the machine work Pete offered to come help if needed to I think he pretty keen to see it at the track to ---------- Post added 11-02-12 at 20:38 ---------- It was good to see myt16 out there going well Liking Graham's new colour on the vl to Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

MYT16 went 9.4@146mph. Raced all day at powerplay and then ran that at willow tonight, hatts off to you Goran, fcuking sweet. Sad to hear Troy.

Nice work goran Looked like it was running well all day

Thanks fellas , had a ball. Bad luck Troy, nothing worse than putting so much effort, getting so close a, and then not making it. Better luck next time.

The 1 that smashed the barrier, was that the white vl? Seen it later without its front bar, banged up bonnet and smashed light Yeah Graham's car is looking very tidy Not sure on the piping off the turbo tho ---------- Post added 12-02-12 at 10:48 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by AVG45 [View Post] Not a bad day.

Had a ball at powerplay. Got in about 10 runs throughout the day with ease, then toasted some tyres in the huge burnout pad at night. Lots of fun! ---------- Post added 12-02-12 at 17:01 ---------- vid of the VL hitting the barrier at powerplay http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_LlHY_N794 and MYT16 vs 33ETA along the front straight http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5gHLRFmxSQ ---------- Post added 12-02-12 at 17:12 ---------- Also got video myself of 33ETA on the dyno doing 890rwhp.
