Thanks.
For those who wondered, it was a smashed valve guide that caused the lower performance figures.
smashed the skirt of no 6 piston.
now replaced and all going well. |

Ahh good to hear Aaron!
Any explanation or theory as to why or just because?  |

Not really, it has only happend twice in the time my guy has worked on turbo cars (about 15yrs).
the other one was a VL, it is an uncommon part to go, but i tend to test the boundry's since mine is put under pretty harsh conditions. I just got back from national SQ finals which saw 17hrs driving with aidcon on full towing a 1.6ton box trailer on a 28degree day. |

Good to see it is back to normal. Did it need a new piston?
I still cant get over how many K's you do in that thing.
Its awesome! |

Yes it needed a new piston.
I normally keep one handy just in case, as it’s a 6 week lead time from the US.
Car just ticked over 200,000km. almost 100,000 of them with the turbo. |

Aaron can probably give more details on this, but I believe he has run down the strip - roughly a 12 sec pass when it had ~300 + rwkw.
Launching it (hard) now would damage the diff - it's the only part of the car that hasn't had work done to it (AFAIK !) |

Tailsharft is custom high tensile steel replacement from Mal wood so it will be up to the task.
The diff certainly would not.
I would expect with the stereo gear stripped out (about a 2hrs job), on slicks it should be good for a mid 10sec pass. |

| I was lucky enough to go for a drive with Aaron last saturday when I was up there getting him to install my system for me and damn its one quick car. I couldnt stop smiling and checking it out. The amount of detail gone in is ridiculous and all the accolades are very well deserved. Just wish I could have hung around for the fireworks display. |
