Would look funny with the pillow stuffed behind you, I think this is something Ian can work on :yes:

good news fan belt stayed on for 10 runs:blush:
.
rose said the VW seemed
to be lacking power and rose was right .
Rose has done 24 runs since we got the VW & it wasn't making her say o shit :blush: guess the turbo seals was already wearing as the motor was built in 2005
We guess that rose was just improving her driving to keep the times coming down.
Goals are to get 7son the 1/8
& 11s on the 1/4
doesn't matter how long it takes :crazy: it all will come with more track time :starhit:
.
we had a top weekend away
car was down on power as we developed a boost leak:blush:
We were boosting the alternator and the last run on sunday we were boosting and oiling the alternator :crazy:
still good as times coming down .
other then that car ran great ,
Rose had time to learn how to do a skid and checked that car revved to 7500 by using the Gopro as rose never can watch the gauges :blush: when she driving .

Is Rose becoming a Greenie and going to also hug tree's soon.

Rose definitely has a thing for green, even her turbo bleeds green when it leaks. :lol::lol:

Or is it just the jealous green eyed monster coming out in her :crazy::starhit::yes::lol:

OK, enough green jokes for now. Keep up the good work Rose and keep having fun.

it may have been leaking boost and oil on the alternator as the turbo is sitting above it

yes it was, we thought it was a slight oil leak from the turbo oil return line, but turns out it was leaking from the flange on the turbo where it held together.:crazy:

2014 pit report on the 1952 split Turbo bug
Well we took the bug for another positive day out at Sydney drag way , Nothing has really changed on the bug.
Rose has improved a second, since with first took the bug to the track .
Back in August 2013 rose did a 14.932 first race , then the best that day was a 13.095@115.15MPH
now April 2014 at Sydney drag way she did a PB of 12.002@114.49 the only thing that has changed is that Rose has improved heaps in Driving the Left Hand drive bug to gain a Second as the MPH Speed is the same
Woo hoo .
Paradise Motorsport built great engines, as the engine was built way back in 2005 and the last owner was doing 10sec passes.
We have done about 36 passes with a lot of missed gear changers in between ,
Racing all sorts of cars even the big guys.
we just turned the boost down and added race gas.
The best thing about buying a 10sec bug is that it gives you something to aim for knowing that you don’t have to spend a heap of money on improvements to get there, Just turn up the Boost ;)
and having heaps of fun at the track in the meantime .
We all know it's hard to keep a 10sec car doing Constance times.
If Rose just went out and run a 10sec pass where would the fun be in that , you would miss out on all the fun in-between and then how much money would you have to spend to improve your 10sec times.
We just do it for a hobby and the fun
ps
People may not know but Rose is relatively new to drag racing.
lots of the guys we talk to at the racers would be clad if their cars could be doing 12sec :blush:

Looks like Rose is improving every time she's out on the track, kudos to you both for bringing the car to OZ and running two drag cars.

Keep having fun and watch the times drop, hopefully not breaking the bug. Btw what gearbox is in it.
