Yeah buddy, nice. Your ride did not sound Suraru,what type of exhaust are you using.

Yeah buddy, nice. Your ride did not sound Suraru,what type of exhaust are you using. Those rear fenders I tried to have the company that make them, make me a pair in 3 inches wider,but they declined. They give your ride coolness

Looks good with the stock decklid Steve, bet you're glad to have it back together again! Did you take the opportunity to do any other changes?

Hi

I can now start on the interior, just going to make a twin bucket seat up for the rear and some carpet.

I bought some heavier rear torsion bars but I haven't fitted them yet

effvee Those fenders are pretty wide already, I'm running early 944 aluminium rear arms and 18x9 with about a 53ET.

The exhaust is stock ported STI headers and 3 inch all the way through, I've changed the dump pipe a bit since this photo was taken.

Hi

I just got back from running my car at a VW only 1/8 mile drag event, I had great weekend at the drags and a good trip up & back, it was about 1800 k journey.

I won my bracket, it was VW body other engine bracket, I completely fluked my bracket win, some of my runs I broke out but my competitors red lighted. My car was running .2 of second quicker during racing than it was in qualifying, not so much the car but me getting the hang of it.

In the final I missed 3rd gear but my friend Lou red lighted which gave me the win.

I will put up a video soon.

I would much rather go around corners than drag race.

Steve

this time slip was my best run

H2OSB · #**126** October 8th 2013, 10:27

Pretty damn good reaction time on that run Steve.

Steve C · #**127** October 8th 2013, 18:08

Thanks, it was as they say down here, more arse than class

Hi

Hi

I've been having some issues with heat soak into the fuel system. I just fitted some aluminium fuel lines and a cooler on the return line, seems to be working.

Hi

I scored some cheap new wheels on eBay a few weeks ago, I had them painted in a gunmetal grey colour.

My other wheels have sticky tyres on them so I will use these for every day driving and keep the other wheels for track days.

Those wheels look absolutely stunning Steve. Good score!

Hi

I just ran the car at VW only drag event. I was runner up in my bracket. My first run was my best, it just went downhill from there.

Car weighs 1160 kgs add me and its another 115 kgs

Looking at changing turbos now to a GTX style and going flex fuel with E85 down the track.

Steve

and a random photo

Wally · #**135** February 23rd 2014, 05:08

With that weight and those tires (not drag tires), not bad at all!
