[rob323]

maybe a traffic light run is in order rob?

Nah, rolling start would be better, don't want your lack of grip to disadvantage you .

 

[JAP63]

13.9 for an sv6! you gooot to be kiding

Where did you read that? I could never see the sv6 doing that time..I thought theyd just be too heavy to pull a time like that..
The XR6T is an absolute lard but its got over 200kw and it goes around low 14 doesnt it?

 

[DOUGMO]

line him up rob, should be an easy win

[AUS_VR4]

LOL that is so true

 

[rob323]

I might be a possability with the starlet, just have to get a few things straightened up after my off i had a couple of weeks ago. Just wheels alignment and picking grass out of everywhere.

That's not an "off" then, that's just normal usage .
Where did you do that? QR?

 

[JETGSR]

damb I'll run him off the lights? I don't even know if mine will hold together let alone run a 13.6

BTW it all fixed, no more funny noises from the turbo!

what would mine run rob? estimated power at the wheels now is 350hp
that would be good for a mid 13 hey????

 

[killa]

so other than the start meeting points has any other details been confirmed??

Are we doing the BBQ luch or just going to find something along the way?

Whats the proposed route? and finish time?

 

[JETGSR]

yeah what the killa dude said!

[mattrat]

Huh!?
Turbo SV6 Matt? Or are you saying that you have an external wastegate?

 

[mattrat]

oh and i ment i just screamed past him to put him in more shame lol

 

[JETGSR]

come on! it's a commonwhore: no blower - no turbo - no chance!

 

[xjokux]

must of been a bad skyline driver.. once you slip your clutch.. that's it or he was running on low boost? lol

Well if the final decision is to come south, ill wing the roads down here, i know em pretty well, and ill be a ble to find something for us to eat.

Just wont be in a '63 engined car, was supposed to be.., but wont be.Anyone got a pace car sticker or road runner sticker for my back window?

PS-I genuinely think u guys would have a ball down here, and im more than willing to be pace car for the day, i can even link it up so at the end were back on the M1 north bound for you's to head back home..

Route would be, Old coach road; Reedy Creek, through to Tallebudgera creek road and onto syndicate road, link up over Ducats road through to currumbin valley, from here go over Tomewin road pass down into the roads that are straight wide and unrestricted speed limits between the cane fields, from here catch up with a bit to eat in either murwulimbah or salt bar at cabaritta.

After that the route would then got hrough Tumbulgum and through Hogans rain forest, back down to kennedy drive and onto the M1 north bound at tweed heads for you to go bak home

Estimsates-Time (once on the gold coast) bout a 3-4 hour round trip (including stop for eats)
-Fuel, about a tank.(depends on your tune i guess.!)

I rekon you guys would love the roads here.Ive kept it paved, no dirt.

These directions might not mean much to most of you, but you can gogole it if u want
My shitter can house socket sets and coolant bottles and shit if yous like, its not like were deserted from civilisation down rthere either, its not far from major stuff, but still, the roads are largely unoccupied down there.

Hows that itinerary rob!

This also gets addressed too, we will be in murwullimbah, its huge...

Killa, Jetgsr - What he said.

That's enough SV6 talk for me, 30 seconds of googling finds some real world quarter mile times. They are a different car, designed for a different purpose.

I'm going to try and buy some hand held uhf radios during the week too.

Jamie, I'll see what I can do about some stickers (now where did I put those TRD and Ozecho stickers ).

Jetgsr, I can't be bothered swapping the semislips onto the Oz wheels so don't fret. I'll be running on 10 year old crap that went hard and lost their grip about 5 years ago.

Brisvr4, should you and I meet at Mo's before hand to remove the rear axles from the shitta and carry them with us for spares? Or do you want to borrow a sub or two to help drown out the deceleration noise?

3 sleeps to go!

The funniest (or worst) thing about that comment, is that i cant tell if your serious or not, haha. I wouldnt put it past you guys bringing shafts though..

 

[rob323]

Can never be too careful, especially when leaving toll booths

 

[JETGSR]

So did tim screw the axels not the box?

And so i get this right 9am sat morning at BP yatala - correct?
