So an update of sorts. I finally got this thing to the track last night and laid down a starting point to work from. I got there late after changing a front wheel bearing I destroyed doing mountain runs the previous weekend so only got three runs but managed a 13.4 @107mph. Unfortunately the 60ft time was shit at 2.2 seconds so there is plenty of room for improvement. A good launch with a sub 2.0 second 60ft will see it run a high 12 no worries.

I got the drag racing bug again though so pulled off the dump pipe and welded in a bung for my wideband sensor today. Going to see how far I can wind up the boost before it starts to lean out. I reckon 20psi should get me around 400hp at the wheels and a high 11 second time slip if I can launch it.

Also looking into a Nissan r200 diff conversion soon too. More updates as they happen :D

Double post farken.

I was hoping to have some video to stick in here but my video camera mount fell apart in the staging lanes of all places and the mate I entrusted with the camera to take shots may as well have been taking photos of his balls. The mate I brought along to come racing has a sweet e30 with an M50B28 in it and we got one race lined up together. He was less than impressed when I showed him the hazards at half track. I'll see if I can rescue some of the photos from the night and chuck them up here later.

nice welds and very ncie build

[Aus E30]

Got any more side profiles with the koni's and kings? Hows the ride/height/wheel gappage and general feel.
Looking at doing the same match up but unsure of the height with the 'lows' (can't find any comparisons with superlows either)
Brisbane northside ftw ;D
