Charles that's not nice, and the misses has bet 4 weeks
so i'm not driving it till the powercruze
also i'm going to enter it into the powersik comp, they are going for the world record again so might as well try or put it into the wall trying
and no skids just yet, still having so problems with the timing, hopefully sorted tonight!
and there will be video's on my youtube account as soon as it does
on another note, the turbo flutter was insane so ****ing loud it scared me

i know what you mean about the flutter.. my first 35/40 back off made me crap my daks.. they were already full from the boost rush too..

Looking sweet - but hey is that one of my earlier green fuserails in your
engine bay - or did someone copy it <arrrghh> Want to upgrade to a
matt black one with engine bay lighting kit ?
Hey, curious why you have an aftermarket coil and ignition driver is that also
for retarding timing on boost. Because the standard VL coil is already a high
performance unit which could be driven with a higher voltage quite reliably... ?

well to those that care, havn't updated in a while but cars is now moving
had heaps of issues (and still going)
hi note it's moving and going which is great
sad not had some major issues wiht tranny's Shane (jet) has been fantastic and all getting sorted so soon the car will be 100% and transbraking happyily ever after
so car has been dynoed
at 15psi it got 225 kw, and leave black lines all the way to 160 in second love it
managed to do powercruise but had some issues with replacement tranny and that put a dampnier on the weekend, but still manged to do some cruising and some skids,
here are some photo's over the last few months to get it running where it is
also heaps of video's of the car on my youtube link below,
if you have been on here long enough u would realise this build has been going longer than 2 years!
thanks
