You need something more like this: http://www.flyinmiata.com/index.php?deptid=4536&parentid=0&stocknumber=22-10050

u didnt really think i was going to use that ? "Went down to the hardware store and picked up some flexible pipe" "can actually set a shape or route without loosing it so it worked perfect to find the right path" and " i can re use that pipe just by cutting and re welding bits and pieces "

You've done some crazy sh*t so far so I would'nt put it past you

- in reality, I missed your "smilie" when I wrote that (and I've read posts where guys have used these and suffered the consequences)

Update:

So i went down to Sydney to go to the World Time Attack Challenge this weekend and man it was sick. Awesome cars, awesome mates made for another sick trip.

Cars there were phenomenal to say the least.. The amount of work that goes into the pro class cars is out of this world.

Favourite car was the Top Fuel S2k. This thing looks amazing.

Home town favourite 'nemo' the carbon bodied Evo took out the event smashing the previous record by 3 seconds set by Cyber Evo last year. Amazing stuff from there team. Looks may not be for everyone but man, u can deny the results.

Made me very excited to get back out to the track and start nailing my setup. Id love to compete in the clubsprint class (street tires) so plan is to stick to the rs-3s and just become a better driver on those instead of going to semis.. It would be good to be competitive but even if im not id love to be there to experience it.

Later this year in the off season i am tossing up whether to sell the 6 speed before it blows and make way for a Quaife 5 speed dog box or just stick with it. See how i go. Hopefully splitter brackets will be ready to send out soon as well

.

Updates during the week when i get the car back, new boot lid etc.

its still only a little stronger.. id rather just pay more and get a strong as sh*t box and with the longer gears it will work with the 4.3 a lot better
