Thanks lads! Bay needs more work done, but when does it ever stop?!?

Power is 238rwkW on 14 or 16psi... one of the two, I forget! Will be better again once the Microtech goes in

I heard they're not even that integral to a RWD car's movement... and if they do break they're cheap and easy to fix...

... but I have been fooled before

A huge thanks to our resident sharp shooter C Sorgs for documenting the fabrication and installation of our new tailshaft yesterday at Sydney Driveline Services. What I dismissed as a pretty medial part of the driveline is actually incredibly technical and is an area I urge people to focus on as they push their power figures.

We lunched everything - unis, centre bearing... the lot. Sydney Driveline fabbed us up a new 2.5in tailshaft with new, beefier unis and yokes at either end - all the good gear! The difference it made was unreal: no more funky noises, and more importantly the car is so much smoother on the road. We'll be tracking the whole build in an upcoming issue...

Finally got around to racing again!

Bettered the dismal 14.4 we clocked at Heathcote last year and first run at WSID last night ran a 13.8, which we bettered the next run with a 13.7 , and cracked 100mph. I know, go me! Also clocked a 1.9 60ft which I was pretty happy with.

The night ended too early though as we blew a little oil into the top end which wept down onto the coilpacks resulting in a misfire that we just couldn't shake.



Side by side burnouts with my best mate!





And a cool shot of my mate's R33:
