Well Rotorstock is over and my machine is still rocking and she feels better than ever.... She needed that shakedown at RS.....

 It was the first outting and testing since being put together, knew it had loads of potential but I was well pleased with how it ran in the end.

 Managed to break into the 12\'s :yes .........

 This is fantastic as this is just the start because she\'s only running low boost and a very tame and safe map set up.... ;)

 Now that I know she can handle the abuse time and time again (managed over 20 runs at RS:D ) I will now be taking it to the next level............  
Funny thing is the car feels better now after all the abuse, the engine feels more loose and the clutch\'s seems a bit more snatchy.    But the suspension is sh*gged now after all the 6K+ launches.. :p :p

 So this is what will be my focus over the next few weeks, if I can sort this area then it will be party time.... :bandit

So you ended up buying the other Rew powered T2.

I saw it at Pips when it had the engine put in, nice motor.

Are you still running it on Twins?

Chris, yes dude same car.... it is now finished after alot of effort and she\'s great, \'hats off\' to PiP, the engine is a strong muther!

 Although it\'s not a fully FD transformation as you may think... but yes running the stock FD twins still....

 Which brings me to Mr. \'sdminus\'....... you took my money :spank
.... Nice to meet you m8, congrats on your times.... :god  well done!  
I only found out like 4pm on Monday that you had put down a 12.6.. :mad:  to claim the stock twins spot........ Instead of testing and arsing earlier in the day, I would of cracked some boost up...:D

 What wheels and boots were you running anyway... as your car was leaving the line sweet....  

 This is where I was having Mega probs.... Brought a spare set of 15\'s to use and burn up but as I was only testing/trying the car I left the original wheels on....
 And 18 inch with a 40 profile is not exactly the best for drag running! :(

Some may remember my thread a few weeks ago requesting a pair of Turbo\'s or even almost went single because after stripping down the car for another problem I had found my Turbo\'s were sh*gged big style........ cracked badly all over!

 Anyway I a long story short is I got the Turbo\'s welded up :eek: .

  Yes, only a temp measure until I decided what route I was gonna take with the car as I never even got to run the car to see what the true capablities were and spent quite a bit already and not seen squat yet...

 So yes I am running the same busted twins still......
