Sledgehammer · 28-01-2007, 08:48 PM

Great work, nice to see some cog swappers up there too.

WASP · 28-01-2007, 08:50 PM

That's a great time. Give's us manual BOSS owners something to crow about. Well done to all involved.

Feedback would be appreciated.

Calder every friday night and Heathcote every sunday.

Heathcote is our prefered track of choice, nice racing surface, friendly atmosphere, lots more runs available, good return road and some great jam donuts......

**Bluehoon** · 28-01-2007, 10:03 PM

well done on the time!!!!!!

outback_ute · 28-01-2007, 10:25 PM

Launch that ******, i have a BF xr8 diff sitting here with just 18ook's on it. If you break wade's i'll give it to him.

Cant just dive into these things Leigh(trust me would love to but would get real messy), over time it will be a bullet proof driveline and the ET's will follow, but at the moment one thing at a time.

It'll be on ebay if you need it then lol.

Im thinking this car needs to go home to its daddy.

Unless Wade wants to see what it has. Wade's call.

WHat you forgetting we have a strip up here mate, you could always come up with wade on a wensday. Race it that night, get shitfaced afterward's and be back home by 8am the next day. My shout :baby bott .

**Chris** · 28-01-2007, 11:57 PM

Im happy with the car, im not making predictions because id rather encourage actual results.

11.87 with a soft launch and a 12.0 trying to keep it off the wall exceeds my policy of a 3 meeting record deadline for a client, so Wade is in good shape here. Plus, I never wanted to beat up on his ride - i needed to make sure it was what he wanted.

The rest is up to Wade - if he wants me in sydney to tune it at the track or share a drive, im there. Like most of you Sydney boys, the client part stops after the first transaction, the mateship continues long after, if wade wants me there, im there.

Pity its doesn't have a dished piston in it Leigh, or we could bolt your setup to it and smash the 10.93.........

**Chris** · 28-01-2007, 11:58 PM

Oh, and RichHOT460, YOUR NEXT BUDDY!!!!

Congrats Wade, you must be one very happy man at the moment.

Chris and Craig, yet another record broken, seems to happen alot when you guys are involved, well done.

Redrum · 29-01-2007, 12:07 AM

Excellent news Chris, Craig and Wade. I am sure there is much more in this sweet sounding V8. Look forward to seeing results from Sunday week!!

hot460 · 29-01-2007, 12:08 AM

Awesome work boys!!!!!!! Bloody rear end.... The car has plenty more in it I am sure. See you guys very soon at WSID. :sm_headba

**Chris** · 29-01-2007, 10:30 AM

Wade has made his call - he wants his baby back.

Craig and i will go about readying it for its journey north.....looks like the next time the car comes out, it will be at WSID

jabba · 29-01-2007, 11:12 AM

Wade,, we need to have a serious talk.. Your just a fraction away from holding a record.. Let Chris & Craig have the car for one more week.. Please...

Incorrect, the quickest and fastest unopened Boss went 11.07 @126 with over 200,000 on the clock.

Happy Days.

Geez, that's funny.....you blokes using NOS just won't let it go...

Back to the topic at hand if we may which is Wade's car running N/A manual without blowers, turbo's or NOS.....into the 11 second zone.

xr8ute · 29-01-2007, 01:54 PM

Well done guys...sounds like a deadset beast

I am sure there will be plenty of Sydney guys out to watch it run WSID for the first time.

So how do you stop the springs from braking (apart from driving it more gently)?

Are there better quality springs out there, or will this need cal-trac/slide-a-link type setup to stop leaves from winding up and getting messy?

Should be out at WSID if all things permit on the wednesday 7th feb.

Yeh I already have caltrac's ready to go at Craigs works and was talking to Chris this morning about it so if the caltracs dont rectify the issue we can modify the existing bolt possibly to a bigger high tensile bolt but the bolt isnt a normal bolt therefor would have to be fabricated to make suite.

Records arnt big concern to me jabba the first manual into the 11's is a bonus and the n/a record wont last long once this is sorted anyway so for the mean time more suspension r&d/strengthing is needed to get it to ET to its potential.

Good things take time some would say!!
