Banzai is good and ill be there anyway but if your doing a meet a normal thrash day is better as the track is too busy at shows

What you looking to run?

Post by **vanzep** » Mon Apr 17, 2017 4:25 pm

Anything under stock times for BB4

Only real target i have is to break 100mph at the line - im hoping the slightly larger 62mm TB will be enough to get me there
Would be good to get some runs in against some other ludes.

I treat the 1/4r mile a bit like a dyno run so im justing looking for small improvements each time i go

The car is fully loaded daily drive so ive not looked at sheding any weight just yet!

the passenger side which im working on should be ok with a bit of filler for now

looks like i spoke too soon

the repair only lasted a couple of weeks

after fixing the arch and repainting the back bumper twice in the last two weeks due to parking knocks i found that someone had been along the back corner of the lude this morning...not a pretty sight...the corner of the body has been torn off, the bumper damaged and worst of all the arch lip has twisted

got a few other issues such as front lower ball joint, the start of a driveshaft clunk, slight weep from the fuel line at the tank and one of the rear calipers has decided not work at all anymore - ive got the parts but just cant muster any enthusiasm to tackle these jobs

such a pity as i had been planning on track and 1/4r mile next month

Seriously?...

Not by a long shot! Just look at it as an opportunity to get the arch repaired properly now

If anything, the damage to your roof was more reason to get rid.

BB4 bye,bye
