Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted December 21, 2008 These were on tme a couple of months ago, I got them off a guy in Whangarei who bought them and decided he didn't want them. Probably won't be there on the 16th, but who knows what may happen yet? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted December 22, 2008 Can't afford the spray cans at the moment, so it'll stay as it is. Once the door cards and numbers etc, and the rest of the sponsorship goes on it'll make a difference as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) Better bring this up to date. I've had it up to Gavin at Hi Velocity, and had it remapped to 170 rwhp, also lowered it 50mm at the back and about 30mm at the front. Had it at Puke last Friday and it felt so much better. Got down to a 1.12.93 on Toyo RA1's after flat spotting my slicks, so think it should do mid to high 1.11's now on slicks. Will do the last meet on the 21st and 22nd of March at Puke with the car as it is. For next year tho, it will be getting new Whiteline sway bars, new Nolathane bushes, and a new heart. I'll have a ported and polished and flowed head, with an uprated cam, and a set of headers. Also going map instead of afm, and another race remap. Will be hoping for something in the 1.09's maybe? Almost forgot, I've found a close ratio dogleg box which is getting serviced, and will go to a 3.25 diff. Edited March 3, 2009 by Silver Fox Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted March 9, 2009 Just spent 4 hours going round at Puke, and posted the following best times, 1.09.75, 1.10.01, 1.11.10, and then another 20 or so below 1.11.50 as well. The sub 1.10 was drafting behind a porsche thanks to whoever it was. Bring on the Puke meet I say. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
