does the car need to be street registered ?

I'm not sure, I think it does. Just trailer it out and slap some plates on it. This is something I would never do mind you.:thumb😀
You have to get out there early I hear because of all the Mud Mazdas that get out there. That's sick maaaate.

I'm leaving Botany about 3PM, not sure of the layout at Eastern Creek. I think there is a Bug from Flat Four going out. Chris with the FI 2100. Scutineering is from 3-6:30.
Leigh, that must make quite a difference now that you have some travel in the rear!

Leigh, your engine lid is open. I reckon you should lose it all together. Your car would make a nice baja.

Hi Peter L
I was at Eastern Creek on the really windy Sunday a few weeks ago, the passenger in the 914 Porsche next to me got out and his door got caught in the wind and just hit my rear 1/4 :cussing

Hi,
Nope not mine. There's another phantom getting around that I keep hearing about. Guys at work ring me on my mobile telling me I should be at work on a weekday and not cruising around in my car. Everytime they ring I'm at my work desk!!!
Chris, yes I've often thought of turning it into a Baja Bug, but it would stand out too much! I like the stealth look.
Pete you'll love it, hooks up with ease now.
Cheers Leigh

Was a great night, had lots of fun.
The last run I did I had moved my seat prior, as I launched at the lights the seat slid back and I neally disapeared into the back seat!
Next time I'm going to tune the car. The webers are as they came out of the box from new and need some jetting.
As they say at Eastern Creek......."that's fully sick maaaate"

I havent been to the drags since the early 70's in NZ when my bro was helping a friend with a blown Holden 186 rail.......things have changed.

my first run (and fastest) was:
reaction: 0.696 (must have been sippin my latte)
60'........: 2.110
ET.........: 15.480
MPH......: 85.52
KPH.......: 137.63
and down hill from there!!!
Hey Jak, what is the straight length at Oran Pk (GP)?
This was the last run: with a 2100 EFI bug.
Bug..........................Me
Reaction: 0.836........0.901 (double espesso thanks)
60'.........: 2.044........2.012
ET..........: 15.157......15.665
MPH.......: 86.79........80.41
KPH........: 139.67.....129.41
Margin....: 0.573
Must have pulled more than 6K (limit of my tacho) in 1st as I could here it backfiring thru the carb on 1 cylinder.
my 60' time was consistantly faster?
I don't understand any of it!:thumb

yeah, me and bel went along too, but only saw one bug (unless they were the same color...)
and saw the speedster having a fang. pity I couldn't see where all you guys were. bug(s) sounded great, and really tore up the strip, i reckon they kicked ass 😀
great to see the speedster disappearing down the track so fast too 😀
we went up to the grandstand, hung out around the lineup, sat on the hill on the left of the strip, and saw no familiar faces... possibly because your faces aren't familiar 😀
great night out. definately going to the next one (we should make a place to meet 😉)
