I had to do a Bonnet modification to allow for the 6 to 10mm needed for the supercharger pully, bonnet wouldn't quite close.
Let me know what you think, your comments would be appreciated guys

A little xtra bonnet modification helped with the times, very subtle but necessary, whats sam peddling these days, hows Automotive axis going?Damn that's cool! Well done. Would be very interested myself. I know Sammy sure would be as well.

Just scored a set of slicks for the next time out, good condition, ex hamilton 400! my other tyres I was running on were 888's (Ex Atta, cheers man, many hours of awesome fun!) on there last legs with a bit of oversteer, so should have some improved lap times, as long as its not too cold!
-
Yea only way to go I reckon, have to get a few more of the christchurch boys out there. Anyone interested?Awesome dude!
Flying the flag for us drive in drive out BMW racers

My first try at a bit of real racing(sort of), 2 cars line up side by side, flag drops, tyre squeel and away you go. A great experience had by all, mine being the only car to drive to the track and drive home again, everything else came on a trailer with roll cages, race tyres, numbers etc. It was a bit daunting!
we were split into 3 groups
Open roof
bigger horsepower fast cars (my group), incl. corolla dx 320rwhp (pictured)
smaller cars like starlets etc
We had 2 races of 3 x laps each on 4 different tracks, plenty of variety and a great learning curve for braking and cornering.
At the end of the day we had a result for each group and overall, I came out 1st in class and 5th overall, absolutely stoked, and with a personal best time of 1.42 for the main GP cicuit.
A couple of photos of my car in action.

Your leaving us! I would buy this in a heartbeat if i had the money, I know how much time ,energy ,and $$$ it takes to build someting like this. It is a credit to you. Imaginge two 1uzfe powered bmw's in the garage.Mmm Maybe I could talk to the bank manager?

Well done man sounds awesome, that 50-100kmh was very impressive, track day will be very interestingCheers mate, just wondering how i should add two driveshaft hoops into it....
Got it back from cert today and he was amazed how fast it was.
the only thing it failed on was not having driveshaft hoops which i knew it would fail on.
So on saturday will be doing that then get the cert plate on its way!
good news i guess

Finally got a video of my car out at ruapuna, the first half lap is a warm up then the fun begins.

Enjoy.

Dyno tune at 320rwhp, a change of pully will increase it easily but dont want to risk any engine damage as it is my daily driver.
