-Harry- Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) The front fender looks pretty bad up close. At a distance its alright though. Ive still only done 1 so it looks a bit wierd.Anyway, I Dyno'd the car @ the gold coast on tuesday until late into the night. Ended up with 242hp @ 18psi on a safe circuit tune. After starting work ridiculously early and not getting any sleep for the last 2 days, I had one of those "f**k it" moments and decided to head to the track as the car was already loaded on the trailer from the dyno. Still in circuit trim we changed tyres @ the track and reeled off pretty consistant 11.4's @ around 122mph before popping the rear quarter glass off the car after about 5 runs. Zuboo was nice enough to help out on the dyno for many long hours and still came back to help last night and even manned the camera. Big thanks to Zuboo for all the help.[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRE2FAVHHkkmerc was damn quick.[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5209yUFjpw&feature=channel&list=ULI missed 3 shifts here [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uc_LAuS5gmQ&feature=channel&list=ULshould have some more vids up soon. I got a couple in car but I dont know how they turned out.With no setup going into the car I was pretty happy with the car. Hell, it hasnt even had a wheel allignment in over a year.CheersHarry Edited May 10, 2012 by -Harry- Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Im going to do the other wing and then maybe doors and the then the trim pieces. The carbon is more for a purpose than looks. Welll thats what I tell people when they say it looks crap those vids are fuckin amense man, leeps out of the tracks like a scalleded cat,what size/type of tyres are you using Harry?Same old MT 20x8x14 slicks Ive always used. Their a bit hard and 1 is almost completely gone but they still work. Im considering buying some new hoosier 22x8x13's thoughThanks for the comments guys.

-Harry- Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) I can update this with some more carnage now. I went racing and lost a screw out of the throttlebody. I guess Im just lucky that way.I misplaced a screw from the throttle body in the second session @ QRBut its ok, zuboo found it..It actually cracked the mountings for the throttle body blade.This arrived from California. Ford Mustang GT 70mm TB fully ported.Head back with new valve and insert.New Downpipe. Ends at the drivers seat. I can still bolt the rest of the system on if I need too. Dropped a few more kgs with thisHead back on. Just need to allign the cams and do the timing.... When im no longer dieing.Trimmed the rest of the bumper. Looks bad in the pics but looks kind of tough in person. Either way, saves weight and makes room for diffuserHad to fit in with all the other wannabe racers and get a sticker of the ring..
