Drags are on again at AIR on the 22nd.

 

Hopefully I can go better than last time.

Going to retune before hand?

Yerp. It has a different turbo, different intake and different cooler piping.

 

I'll put more boost into it and hope the valve springs hold up.

[ROB83R]

Them pesky valve springs. Next mod I bet. 

[Puffwagon]

It will be in the next 3 mods.

 

I already have a 4inch venom dump, 5 inch cat into single 3.5 then into twin 2.5 then stock after there. I want to do something with that soon. That will help with valve float as well.

 

I have to swap my hotside piping at some stage as it is comprised of some second hand bits I had floating around. It is 2.5 inch ali and it works but one part of it hangs a bit too low.

 

So valve springs will happen probably after those changes.

Haynes seems to be branching out from the regular car reference manuals:

how's your Sunday, Dan?

Pretty much finished now. Was fairly uneventful though, just work.

Although, I have begun to realise what I think I might like to do with respects to my career. This week I've been working on a fairly specialised spreadsheet aimed at replacing about 5 others and massively simplifying our workflow. But it's kinda hit me that that's the sort of stuff I really enjoy doing- it's creative, problem solving, highly detailed and I get a big sense of satisfaction from it. So I'm potentially thinking that my future career path may be in the Systems Analyst type area...

So a fair amount to catch up on,

The 1uz is relatively efficient (I was always under 10l/100km), Responds incredibly well to boost, sounds great, Aftermarket ecu support (proper flex fuel and sh*t no more reflashing) and did I mention how cheap they are! Want one soo bad.

 

In regards to "hoons", They are an easy target politically and are a cash cow for the gumbyment, That being said if everyone drove like all the people I've been on cruises with here, Hoon laws wouldnt be so popular, Its the few mouth breathers that ruin it for everyone. Usually I've found the really bad ones aren't in nice, well modified cars. Usually they are in sh*t boxes and don't even get me started on the stance crowd. You cannot govern stupidity, but you can govern around it. and that's what the majority of hoon laws are.

I've gotta make up for my sh*tbox with a hectic skid brah! 

 

1uz sound like a proper v8. Not a fan of the Nissan version vh45. 

Just get one Matty.

@k31th can you make a single pegger emoji please? The g6 guys deserve fair representation in the emoji scene
