The mrs managed to get 3 runs down the 1/8th yesterday with a best of 8.18 but having to back of each run due to the car not being set up too good and the rear getting very loose on the slicks. The 3rd run it lost 3rd and OD in the box :? :?
The car has easy 7s in it and there is still a lot to get out of the tune.

bugger about the gearbox, might be time to go T400 ?

8.18 is definitely not slow over the 1/8th!

good luck with the 7's, hopefully not too far down the track ;)

Cheers mate.......want to stay with the T700 atm so getting it custom built with manual valve body etc. Just need to sit back for a bit while we get the $$ together. Drag racing the bike again next month at WSID so hopefully drop the box off while I'm down there if all goes well.

Gearbox is currently getting built and hopefully have it back in a couple of weeks.
While the car has been sitting decided may as well use the time to fit up the intercooler and piping.
Also managed to fit a 90mm TB. Took a bit to modify and customize to get the tps right but reads good on the TP dash.

Is the inlet pipe before the s/c plastic drain pipe?

It actually looks good in there. I should do a snorkel out of it.

Laterally cost me under $10 from Bunning's.
