two40

Excellent post grumpy. It's easy to chase numbers but living with them gets harder as they get lower. I've come to the point of selling my 240 because it's too fast for me and I don't want to strip it. I never ever thought I'd be saying that.

Came out real nice.

nice car were they centreline auto drags? wasn't the right offset?

anyone have info on these? is that an auto drag by any chance? cheers.

allo toe nice one mate

Yes it's a 1973 model. Thanks

Hi, Just so we're clear, the ignition barrel is the part where you put your key in to start the car. My question relates to the male plug that is screwed on to the rear of the barrel. Is this part the same in 240 and 260 models? cheers

i had about that much power in my old engine with a Supra 5 speed box behind it. it was heaps of fun but i wouldn't recommend it with anything above 300hp. the box can take it but the drive begins to be a fight around the 400hp mark. the only problem i had was snapping half shafts on a frequent basis. installed cv's and problem gone.

what size is that cowl if you dont mind me asking?

love the idle. here's mine when we fired up the engine for the first time. just a lot of noise really cause it's on pipes only. i was more impressed with the response of the engine but you should've seen my grin when i heard it fire up. blew me away.

want them? i'd probably sell if i get the right buyer but with the rarish stud pattern it's not easy in australia. i'm getting sick of them and want something baggy.

recent night shoot.

nasty. really nasty

so what happened to the car you won? congrats btw

welcome. love the sig man. very nice.

Thanks all. It was a very fun night and like I said I'm hooked. Just can't get back out there without some changes. To answer some of the questions: The Mustang was running mid 10's. No idea why he had a chute. It's not a requirement unless you hit the 9's and that car didn't look like it could get there. As for mine, it's just a 383 with a c4, R200 with HR31 CV's. It was set up as a circuit car when I bought it but I had done a fair bit of kart racing so I wanted to try drag with this one. I took it to a really talented engine builder who got 500hp and 490tq, married it to the c4 and a new exhaust system. Came out really streetable and fun on the track it seems. A few problems I'm facing atm are finding the right wheels to fit street slicks on, a cowl hood to allow a higher riser on the carby, full cage (which will make the thing illegal but will get me back on the track) and rewire the whole thing as I don't have speedo or taco (plus it's a mess although very well hidden). I think I posted a vid of when we first fired up the engine last December. Here it is for those that are interested. http://streetrats.net/download.php?view.5 cheers

Last May I went to the drags for the first time (as an entrant) and took some footage of my night. Here's a short clip of what was a very exciting night. I'm hooked hard. http://streetrats.net/download.php?view.11

WOW. I think I'm in love.

those things can cause an accident :s

step in the right direction i guess.
