Post by 13bke26 »

Hey Guys,

First started Racing it, it went 12.0 115mph on a stock 13b with the auto and a bad converter..

Pulled the car all down, got the motor all built, box freshened up, better converter. To date the car has gone 11.64 124mph spinning off the line.. Should see a low 10 once i get traction .

Im from Australia, the 4 door wagons are more common then the 2 door panelvans, there are only a handful of them out here

Yeah mate the issue on that run was that the tyre pressures were a bit high and the fact that I let the transbrake go at around 8000rpm... And that was my last run out... Next time out I'll lower the pressures and set up a 2 step on the transbrake..
