That sucks, i must have fixed that same stuff up at least ten times in the workshop, years ago we had three RPM rebuilts in one year with this issue...

No I mean my auto, it chirps the wheels sometimes going into reverse. its quite violent.

It changes gears as if it has a shift kit but its bone stock and probably never had the fluid changed. If I change the fluid now, I almost willing to put money on it slipping to death after the change.

well had a sick weekend at Gunnedah Drags, both cars performed well and did PB's for Gunnedah, but not without its share of issues.....

i had some issues the the data logger not wanting to record, had to re-flash the firmware to get it working again, and then forgot to turn it on for my last run, so no data but did get in car video so can at least see wideband gauge!

got to have a run with another Gemini, this ones got a 304 in it with some NOS, going alot better than when i last saw it without the gas!

and also got to have a run against the brother, this is the turbo V6 VP, its done a 7.81 for PB this weekend, everything seems to be working well but he is getting a bit of wheel spin, and still coming to terms with the new combo, but going very hard for 12psi!

The Gemini went 6.91 @ 166kph which is 6kph faster than before, and the 60 foot's are worse, so when i can get it hooking up better off the line it might even improve more ;) but i have also found that i am on the limit of the deka 80's, boost ve table is maxed, injector rate is fudged super bad and fuel rail is 75-80psi on boost and still just slightly lean, so its time to look for bigger garden hose fittings!

all in all though the new motor loved it and i loved that it loved it :)

other than chasing my fuel capacity i did have an issue with loosing my oil filler cap after the first run!

i asked at the start line if anyone had seen it but there was nothing at the time so we ran into town to see if we could find a parts shop with one, to no avail, then my brother rang me saying that it was announced over the PA and they got it back.

so we straightened it out as someone must have run over it (maybe even me) and then upgraded it before re-installing.
