Gave Bobs old wheels a good run. Definitely has more grip, much more grip than the old tyres.
Also I think the clutch is fine. Before on the old wheels, car would be sitting on the limiter and you wouldn't be going faster, tyres just spinning its nuts off, but i couldn't hear it squealing...
Had Cody in the car, and the car hauls fine with no clutch slippage.
Car also returns a mint 8.2L per 100km, and thats with some fun driving

Going to drags this weekend, taking my brother along so he can film the runs. Getting a little practice filming here:
And yes granny shifting, as you can probably hear, gearbox isnt in the best condition.

Yea 2nd only goes to 95 maybe just touching 100, but then 3rd is all the way down to 160. Massive gap inbetween the 2 gears.
Ohh yea, the clutch wasn't slipping. Just in 1st it doesn't really...go...quickly.

I turned up at the gates, and the lady laughed at me, and said "are you going to be racing this?"
I'll have to turn to Bob for the next part, but reviewing the footage the same lady laughs again as she calls out my time. But maybe she was laughing before that? I could be just hearing things.
Best 2 runs of the night: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anGdJ3365hU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxX_k0gL4QI
Especially listen to this one right to the end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVVZCNhB9gc
And if your at work, best time of 14.05@100mph Most runs were in the high 14's to 15's

Was very good mate. Knocked a good second off your time too. Get some sticky tires on the front and an LSD and you should see another 1-2 seconds off your time as well.

The only thing you can hear that belongs to my car is the tyre squeal. Darn everyone and their loud exhausts.
