yeah, the bearings have been in there for 4.5 years.

yeah, looks surprisingly good. nah not a proper leakdown, comp test was showing the motor was tired, track was saying im still a teenager lol. 2 x Garrett GT35R's Powerglide mild ported factory heads PAC valve springs Argo Rods 8.5:1 Ross Pistons custom cams cometic head gaskets...

we pulled the motor out of BLK40T yesterday and are doing a freshen up, those that aren't familiar with the car, it's a 1UZ with Twin Garrett 62mm turbo's, it produces a smidge under 1200hp @ 30psi, the motor is in a Ford Capri has run as fast as 8.20@167 slicks, 3050lbs and 8.31@165mph on 275...

we pulled the motor out yesterday and are doing a freshen up, its been 4.5 years, 40000km street driving, 120 dyno runs and 350 1/4 mile passes, engine spins to 8000-8200rpm so far all looks good, will keep updated with more pics the motor still uses alot of the factory bits like the belt...

what an absolutely fantastic meet the other week. those that were at Sydney Dragway would have experienced some of the best Pro Street racing in Australia. we had an absolute blast, the atmosphere and people were just fantastic. we got 6 passes in total. 1st pass - 8.41@163 2nd pass -...

She is getting out the hole nice n quick. Can't wait to see it in the flesh hopefully we get grouped together

Congratulations and well done James from both me n Joe. Told Joe his exact words were 'fuck me that's mad haha. Wot 60' time n how much boost? U wood have to be pumping 1300hp or so now.

it may be more reality than you think, unfortunately x275 is not getting the showing like it did in QLD, funny thing of the 5 cars entered in x275, 4 are making the trip down from QLD, we are the only ones repping NSW :p because of this Mod Street Blown, Outlaw Radial and x275 may be thrown in...

James, would you be up for a Grudge race with us? i'm trying to see if the APSA boys put x275 and Outlaw Radial together. i reckon a few 1UZ fans would get a bit of a hardon seeing 2 of the quickest 1UZ street cars in the country have a bash down the track together ;)

great stuff, i just saw your name in the list for next weekend. told Joe he said ''mad'' :) we can show the old dinosaur engined boys what the little DOHC V8's can do :p will be good to catch up and see the car in the flesh. hopefully the schedule will allow us to get to see the car run.

sweet as, shootout here in Sydney, the one coming up? or QLD? should definitely pickup everywhere with a bigger housing, your pulling alot more power out of the .6's than we ever could, we couldn't get more than 27psi and the thing seemed to choke in the deep end was lot of backpressuure...

i think the guy picked up the ECU n loom n that a week or 2 back. he might be getting another motor which may have the loom. thanks James, how is yours going mate? did you end up going with the new housings?

we took the Capri out tonight for a little Wednesday night fun and some final testing and checks for the APSA Pro Street Shootout. back on the radials, being a Wednesday night we aren't allowed to run faster than 9.0 so we were only doing half track testing, wanted to get the tune right down...

thanks mate, yeah she is definitely happy with the radial, we have a few more things to try and see how it goes. was happy we got it sorted from the get-go, we weren't expecting to get everything right on the first pass, listening and talking to the right people certainly helped. yeah she is...

we took the car out for a hit @ WSID on Saturday. the car is now APSA x275 legal, weighed in 3220lbs. running full exhaust and 170lbs heavier than it's normal race weight. we only got 3 passes in, but, we were pretty happy with what it has done on it's first time out on radials, main thing was...

we will possibly find them with the new engine :p i don't think this one is being pushed much further, i haven't had Joe say so i order new wastegate springs, so, i think he might be happy at 30psi now, if we start falling behind in x275 then we will throw some boost in. hopefully new engine...

i know :p ash what's the go with the ANDRA radial front tyre rule? x275 rules say must run radial front and radial rear but ANDRA say no radial front quicker than 10.00? need a good streetable front radial tyre.

got a set of radials for the Capri yesterday, will get the car to x275 trim this week and get out testing on the weekend. have to put all the metal panels back on, plus will be running a full exhaust with twin high flow cats, the exhaust is not a requirement for the rules but we need the weight...

30mins is all i need :p

i like her already :p they have to be sexy and friendly. the 2 on the weekend we kept there for over 30 mins had a joke around n that with em were very nice. there was a good 10-12 taking photo's. everyone was well behaved, sort of ;)
