Right-o, cue more kudos posts ;)

Just watched the video, nice work. Cool. Maybe leave the comments up a little longer, some of them disappear too quickly to read. Also, maybe add a few more in the main driving, let us know what you were thinking here and there, if you can remember when it comes time to edit of course.

That's good feedback, I think your right, be good to add the thoughts... for sure there are some.

Here's a pic of the new wheels I was fit testing today...

15x8s in Silver? Looks great. I want me some wheels, and 6ULs are the top contenders. Too much else going on right now though.

15x9", so darn light and fill the gaps nicely.

Took the car down to the Nulon Nationals Round 4 yesterday...

...here's the wrap. I've added some talkies, tell me if you think it adds or takes away.

Calculating hp vs trap mph vs et from http://www.wallaceracing.com/et-hp-mph.php

When I add the weight of heavier turbo parts, roll bar, heavier tyres, seats etc plus driver I get a bit under 2700 pounds, with a trap speed of 115 it matches the hp estimate from the dyno plots of 320.

The thing is the calculator says 325 and 2700pd can pull 11.8... ill be happy with low 12s especially as I plan to drive home with my gearbox still working.

hmm, an r35 gtr, an audi rs7, a 180sx drift car, the ssv, a k24 civic, other than that I wasn't paying attention.

65whp will spin the wheels no worries, you'd have to override the hard wiring about how take off from the lights though :beer:

Video was good, talkies were good too. An exterior angle would be nice, to see whats going on with the other car, but with only 1 go-pro that can be difficult, and the cabin shot is best if you had to choose only one.

Great to see what the car can do. Did you surprise a few punters? Keen to see you hit Eastern Creek!

Thanks Lachy!!! Yes I agree a few more gopro's make a better scene... maybe when its putting it all down and gets in the right bracket to raise eyebrows. I'm not there yet

Maybe drop a T2 RX7 gearbox/diff into it swap out for a bigger turbo and go chasing things...but probably not and hopefully not...but Maybe???
