P.S. I wonder if the Candyman & his Fruit Tingle will come up for a run. LOL



HAHAHAHA!!! Doubt it!

You guessed it correctly, sadly the fruit tingle will not be coming up for the Drags.

Struggler and Craig put my car back on the dyno the other night, made a few changes, gave it a total of 35 deg total timing and found me a decent gain in HP.

Bad news is though my stally is nowhere near big enough at 2500 (kicks in at 2400) so I need something around the 4000 mark.
Second bit of bad news was I need to upgrade from my Trimatic which is now getting tired to the TH350 I have stored in my mates shed. And then I was advised to change my diff gears to the 355's I have yet to use.
Its all money....


Does anyone have a TH350 crossmember they dont plan on using?


Cant afford to upgrade anything until I get back from Tasmania at the end of the year.

Cheers
Herne

You can look at it two ways, when I push it out onto the foot path, or somewhere for you to live when I park my car in your bedroom!!!

Christ Garth.. Narrabeen is a LONG haul to the track.. but it WILL be worth it mate!!

Ora.. *COUGH* i meant TUFF - hopefully see you there :P

It's great to see Wayne and Jnr coming out, and gtr469: not racing this time!?!? Cmon mate!


I'll be coming out... somehow with my tyres in the back and changing at the track! Unfortunately the radials are now down to the wear markers and i dont want to give the local constabulary any reason to sticker me!
I'll probably need some storage....well.. LOTS of storage! theyre BIG tyres!

Tiny im bringing the Torailer. Its got a boot which is normal torana size (duh) and the front tray. Your welcome to use is as is anybody else who needs somewhere, I just cant gaurantee 100% safety in the tray. I have some latches to tie things down in the front, so if you bring something which can tie them down securely and so nobody can get at them (chain and padlock or something similar) it would work.

Ah well, just an option.

Thanks for the offer mitch! I'll take you up on that :)

Bummer about Chris and Rob, hopefully the problems aren't too expensive for them!

I've put out a call to the new Monaro Owners Drivers and Enthusiasts group to see if anyone is keen, but havent heard back!

Will keep you all posted :)

racing starts around 6 but gates open at 5. Normally goes to around 10. Hopefully not too many burnout cars. Sort of wrecks it.

Im going to go see if i can find that "giving the bird" smiley :<_<:

Im not even going to say I might be there, it depends on lots and lots of things, mainly if I can afford the overinflated gate prices to spectate!

HAHAHAHA :tease:

Seee... all you had to say was either:
A) Nothing at all OR
B) "If funds permit i'll try and make it!"

It just sounds bad when you say you WILL go.. and then pull out! that's the ONLY reason we give you shit :P

And dont worry... funds for me at the moment are VERY tight... I'm trying to get to the position you are in of having to pay off a house! (Hence why we sold our 2nd pride and joy!)
