Hoping the rebuilt box and some caltracs i have (not fitted yet) will get me inspired to go the drags. Always wanted to do a 12 in it since i was dreaming of putting a CA in 15 years ago... might make it happen this year. Pulled the motor out today and dropped gearbox off the back once the engine was free to move forward... wasnt easy on my own.

this car is still going strong! it doesnt get out much, but i recently had a stumpy rebuilt to swap in. The current one grinds at high RPM

i havent done any major changes other than electric boost controller. Had an awesome trip around Tassie in it last year. I need to enter some sort of drag or sprint day so i have an excuse to get it out

So early this year i signed up for a Sandown raceway time regularity trial, and in the excitement i went to town on the supsension and tyres

Ditched the stanza struts that i put engine oil in the shocks like 12 years ago and the road tyres

Put in some supafatto coilovers with adjustable tops, maddat castor rods and new bushings (already had maddat sway bar)
Reset leaves and some heavy duty shockers in the back
Plus bought some semi-slicks

and finally - that meant i could fit matching wheels (work equip ones that were on back) all round the car

With the car all aligned and with the good camber and castor - wow - it made a huge difference!

Sandown was good fun, will upload pics in the near future

fitted an electric vac pump today, to control the inlet butterflies

previously it was controlled by direct connection to inlet manifold

seems heaps better on a quick test drive

it seemed a bit asthmatic coming on to boost previously, now its a lot smoother and more consistent power and pull... definitely worth it

yeah, heaps less people this time (around 30) so even with me and my brother sharing my car we were satisfied with the number of runs, we left early and content
