The yellow smiley enjoyed it 
That was Ian's girly effort of a test run.

I ran your numbers through my Excel dyno. The 124kph speed seems to match your car for a stock EJ20T in about 1050kg. But the ET is slow, you should
be just under 9s. What was your 60ft time? Do you have times for intermediate distances?
Good to see you out having fun anyway

U should be heaps quicker than that ian. Mine runs 8.3 for the 1/8th & it's 1020kg without me in it. & thats taking it easy off the line with
no wheelspin. Only 8psi boost too.
Drop in on the deck & come out on the track, it's so much fun doing 200+kph in your bug. Straight line stuff is only exciting for a few
seconds.
regards
Jak

What a laugh. I love how the guy at the drags says its nice of you to get out here and just use your car. Watched his comments I think after your
first run.
And I hear there is a bounty on your head Ian from many of the redneck V8 ute drivers.
I remember running 165's when I first did my conversion, that wasnt so much the problem, it was the stock brakes and suspension.
What do those 1/8 mile times equate to 1/4 mile time?
1971 Type 3 Fasty - EJ20T
I love 242HP sleepers. 
How many sets of lights does it take a $229k Carrera S to learn?
UPDATE: Cayman S, M3, B4 now added to the list. |

Your exhaust is simply a work of art, very clever indeed. Great effort at the drags too, no burn outs, just surprise the shit out of them off the line
! it can only get better from here.

Ian drove it up and back 600klms and Ian had 9 runs on the track and I had a go & gave it way to much gas at the start
It's our daily driver it gets driven every day.
I do better when I race people going to the shops in it than on the track
