StylesM5 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2007 Haha Love the "aw, Jesus!" Yep, I was perched in the back seat with my arm around the head rest for stability. Had to really hang on in the initial stages. That car has done a 10.9 standing quarter at Calder Park, Melbourne on road tyres! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StylesM5 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2007 He reakons it's cost him $25-30k to get it that quick after buying the car 3 months old for about $55k in Melbourne. Basically starting from the front. Bigger Intercooler 8 Pot callipers and HUGE disks Coil over suspension 19 Inch wheels Ceramic Pistons etc etc (lots of internal work) HUGE Turbo Standard 6 speed auto but with trick electronic TC that backs off the boost when it detects slippage. Still kicks in a 120km/h in the dry! Dick Johnson diff and half shafts. Car is really flexible around town though, easy to drive. A reasonable amount of lag, but you learn to accept that. HUGE grin factor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
