yesterday at excesive motorsport meet at calder TUFSS3 went 8.88@156mph with heaps still in it as he has run 160mph so should still improve on this time maybe at calder of friday. day ended short from a fuel leak out of an injector an didnt fix it in time for his class so called it quits for the day. has new motor an fresh auto so there is a hell of a lot left in this bad boy yet i can tell u that much. an is pushing just shy of 650rwkw now so hopefully the times will still drop a fair bit yet. top stuff timmy.

Very impressive stuff! Definately pushing the boundarys. It would be nice to see some trim put back in the car though and make it appear a bit more streetish(is that a word? lol) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

New cars look wierd with the wheels up in the air. I was at heathcote when he ran 160mph... I tell you what... people throw around times and mph on here.. but 160mph is bloody fast. I think it was the fastest car there on the day!

I was at Heathcoate and saw both his 8.87 and 8.89 on Saturday, Amazing car. He was the fastest apart from the Capa Monaro drag thingo.. and that comparison only makes TUFSS-3 even more impressive, if you ask me.
