nice figures Adam, looking great as usual mate

[Ada7]

Fitted my drag wheels today to make sure there\'d be no problems once at the Pod. Only problem i had was getting off the Drift Spec Wheel nuts i had on there. They were on very tight and a few nearly rounded off as the metal is very soft. But luckily got them all off and will be using standard ones on there from now on as the are much tougher.

Anyway... what you think of them fitted?

Just reading through this, great progress. Looks nice as well, when you\'ve got it all done you can park it in the death star next to darth vaders tie fighter!

That is a lovely looking FD!!  A lot of time and effort spent there.

Can i ask what polish did you use for the engine (any thing special) - It came up brilliantly

[Ada7]

I bought an abrasive and polishing kit (lots of different grades of abrasives and polish) and used it on a polishing machine.
Then just used autosol, a bucket of elbow grease and a few spare hours to keep it looking good (this is the hard part as once its all back together its near impossible to get to all the arkward bits to keep it looking good)

Run one from japshow the other weekend.
Was so close to beating my PB with this run. A 13.2 @ 115mph. not really noticable but i had a bad start with lots of spin and tramping off the line. Not in the 12s but showing good power with the speed so hopefully better times to come once i can sort my starts out

LOL now I know why you had no grip!!! where was the second gear burnout? hardly any revs on the launch!! you boged off the line, you need at least 6.5K. Plus you were short shifting, didnt even hear the buzzer

[Ada7]

That run was on street tyres so no point warming them up. Yeh i bogged and then spun and so had to drop the revs slightly. Was my first run in nearly 2 years so was taking it fairly easy really.
I think i need a big tacho so i can see the revs as most of mine is covered up by the steering wheel

Thanks for your support though Blitzy

[BlitzBoy]

no no dont let the revs drop, even if you are spininning the wheels keep the gas in , road speed will eventually catch up .
Go hard or go home hahahahaa

[Ada7]

Had to go home in the end, its where i sleep :p
I\'ll be better prepared for the next time, probably rotorstock now
