Cain's 540i 6spd - after I attacked it.

Recommended Posts

Thanks Emma.

I haven't had time to get my hands on a copy (don't ask, tough day).

I'll look forward to getting a copy. I'm doing some work the the printer and am hoping to get these pages unbound.

Glad to see they're happy with it. Exhaust mods are next! Watch the dyno results and see if they free up some more neddies. :lol:

Thanks again Emma.

You're not just a pretty face. Yes, it was originally Dennis Chapman's 540, now it's Debbie Chapman's 540.

Had the plate on the car from the start. No-one notices now that the plates have gone to 3 letters and 3 numbers.

The stealthy badging! All the cars were named like that.

DCHBUS, DCH164, DCH348, DCHTES, DCHVAN. Now gone away from that naming convention now.

Must go and order some europlates in the near future. Might be able to go and collect them shortly.

I've succumbed and gone and bought a copy.

I'm pretty happy with that. 32kg heavier than spec. I was surprised about the 51/49 weight distribution, that's for sure.

Car has not looked better since it was new Andrew, Thanks!!

Hopefully, I'm around in a few weeks to take it for a strop around Puke.

I was reding thru a Wheels mag today (Australian mag). and in 95, they had a 540 against the rattly VS HSV GTS 215kw 5.7 stroker, and gave the nod to the Holden. Anyone that has experience got an opinion on that? :lol:

Erm, and now for the correct 80-120 time for a Diablo.

NZ Autocar, 2.8 seconds. 0-100 in 4.4.

And for comparison:

Audi RS6 Wgn, 2.84

E55 AMG Merc, 2.66

Evo VIII FQ300, 2.94

Legacy 3.0R, 4.18

Impreza STi, (05), 3.08

Clio RS 182, 4.6

All 80-120 times.

So I am confused.

When you dial up 5k, dump the clutch, how many lines are behind you?

One, an oil line marked by pieces of engine, clutch and associated drive train paraphernalia.

Try 3k.

True figures in this months. Got them out of other issues. Who knows.

Feel free to line up against me any time.

Lines, well, lines of E30's, HSV's Fords, Jags and many other cars that should know better.

When are those night speed drag wars on next at Meremere? Or do they only run during the summer?

I wouldn't mind taking the 560 up and giving it a run :mosh:

I'd say the 25th is best for me, but I can make all of them (in theory). I will have only just got back from trips for the first 2.

So if someone wants to organise a day. I'll get there.

Andrew, you can't get traction with your current set-up,do you think more horsepower will make you faster? 1/2 strip burnout maybe :lol:

None with traction control on

One very long one with a blown tire at the end with it turned off......
