Id love to see this thing with some frontrunners and 15's slicks on kill one day.. is it a lot of work to change the brakes back to something smaller for a while? tuff car! cheers darren

I could change the back brakes pretty easy but the fronts would be a pain only because I have to change the front brake master cylinder because of the caliper size difference.

Sounds like its got a easy 9 in it if you can get it to hook up!! if im gonna change the brakes it will only be the back ones so I can't run 15s. No point in getting front runners as I will only be using them once as I dont have a cage and will get kicked out anyway.

what i like about the night was so many first timers and proper street cars, was some good grudge matches between full streeters, something different from the pipes off/slicked up car at most meets. Few sleepers aswell, like that full stock stagea with ski racks that went 12.7@114 and steves rusty old xw with o.g flat crowsfeet paint,rusty panels, cobwebs..looked like he just pulled it out a paddock and a decent 351/tremec setup in i that went 12.00 before ..was funny as..

Yeah that's it. HDTF18 and I went in his fg xr6t ute. Had a run each. Std exhaust, sleeper spec with 300rwkw and I went 12.99 with terrible 60ft. First time I've ever gone down the strip. Dunno about any other first timers that went out, but I can see why it's so addictive. Was a great night.

There was a lot of nice cars out there. Think they need a earlier start though so you cant get more runs in.
