i have a calais racer and a street vl too but its not doing anything atm..cause i still got my bmw which i drive around but im barred from driving on the road for 3 months...again... yes mad-30t bought my car,transferred everything into his car but he didnt like the 2 speed with 5,200rpm stall on the street so he got a turbo 350 fitted at precision transmissions with a 3,800 stall,fitted a new set of 18in wheels on the car and custom plates reading something along the lines of MYZILLA as in MY-GODZILLA,the car as is has mid to low 10s in it on the 19 psi it runs,the only problem is those little t28 turbos are nearly dead so he wants to upgrade to twin t4 rollers...good luck to him.

MAD30T hasn't been around for a while. Did he ever race it after he bought it from you, Rob?

no...after i showed him what the transbrake button was on the steering wheel does.....i explained it to him in english and cleary told him not to release the button no matter what....but he relaesed it..scared the **** out of me -when we did a 180 deg turn in a narrow street...im sure he will race it but it doesnt really interest him..he is more of a street racer....

Have to say, the night was pretty okay. No major delays except for the 8 sec torana losing it end of track, dunno why, even though it slowed down, didn't see what happened exactly. Saw two VLTs, a black HDT and a purple Calais. Very nice cars both of em. If youre both reading this topic, make sure you turn up to the cruise on ANZAC day!!!! Also a Calais wagon V8 and a turbo r31 family skyline. Rotormaster out of the block is awesome, all those type of cars that do 7s-8s scream like thunder off takeoff, awesome!!! Getting pumped watching all those cars, to take mine down again with proper race gear, and improve on my lame time. Highly recommended: ALWAYS RACE YOUR VL WITH SLICKS. 8)

Thanks, GMH-30L about your comment. I was at the drags on Wednesday night in the blue VL Calais and not black. As for the cruise on Anzac Day i will like to be there. Tell me where and i'll be there.
