by **bushman** » June 7th, 2009, 2:53 pm

whats the date of the next one ??? :drinks2:

by **OED666** » June 7th, 2009, 4:39 pm

gotta be very very quiet... its wabbit hunting season.. cant believe how quiet that car is!!!

maybe it doesnt have a turbo, and its the stereo making that noise. its just a stock ea.

That's the way I wanted it this time, I let the gate do the talking these days.

Tim did say that the revs were kept low because of the 3.27 diff gears, 3.45 or 3.7 diff gears would have meant higher revs and it would have been a bit better for the skid pan and a bit louder too.

by **Rollin** » June 7th, 2009, 11:34 pm

3.7 are too short, imho .45s would be ftw on that pan. Probably also on the track too.

by **BI6TIM** » June 8th, 2009, 8:26 am

3.45's with t5 ftw!

by **NUT347** » June 8th, 2009, 9:16 pm

marks got 4.11s in that fairlane, its sooo short in first, you could probably run faster then if (if i quit smoking.... and drinki.... nah **** i couldnt)

by **bushman** » June 9th, 2009, 12:43 pm

Thanks for the link

by **bushman** » June 23rd, 2009, 6:51 am

i'll have mine at the next one too but the one after i doubt it will be, hows those springs and shocks coming along for me tim? will i be able to have them in for the cruise ?

by **BI6TIM** » June 23rd, 2009, 10:07 am

Springs are here, have to chase up the shocks today.

by **bushman** » June 26th, 2009, 8:48 pm

yeah those springs are grouse for sliding, i think they work really well. i took the ol basher for a spin to the round a bout and went round and round its quite noticable how much better they ride while your sideways :drinks2:

cheers mate

by **Malakai** » June 27th, 2009, 9:03 am

Yep I rode in Tim's car the other night and it just feels better sideways than it did before. Not sure if that is the difference made by the new motor, turbo, plenum or whatnot but I think it is partly the new springs and shocks. It's just so much smoother sideways. I think it should be great for drifting.

by **impraven** » June 29th, 2009, 6:09 am

This next drift practice should be a big turnout!! I will be in for sure! I might try get there a bit earlier this time to get all setup before it gets packed.

Alot of the TDW crew will be there!

by **Bipolar** » June 29th, 2009, 8:46 am

Sweet. There might actually be more Fords than Holdens this time.

by **impraven** » June 29th, 2009, 4:49 pm
