Hi Judge Ito!

Thanks for keeping us updated!! Sounds like a very nice machine indeed! We've been busy working on a mate's RX-2 which now has a new engine installed. Once that is tuned and out of the road we will get stuck back into my car I have a couple of little fuel system changes to make and then we will do a bit more dyno work as I think I need about another 30rwhp to get into the 9s, we have already made the extra power but backed it off at Jamboree due to fuelling limitations

My next big meeting is November 30th which is our Season Championship Opener. AJC13B will probably be racing November 16 at the "All Performance Shootout" down south. He's trying to get back in front of me, but it will be a big chase to see who is in the 9s first

After looking at the video, my 10.2 was a pretty lazy pass, still plenty left in it yet!

Ito! I am back from my South Pacific jaunt!

I am getting a billet output shaft made for my T2 box at the moment and like Angus said, I will be back out on the 15th/16th November to have a crack at a flat 10/high 9, without the bottle

Would be nice to spray it just once to see how it went though

Congrats to Louis!

It was pretty bad on Sunday afternoon, the morning races (GTP, V8Supercars) were good though. Fortunately I managed to find shelter in a mate's apartment...mmm cool beer, big screen TV, ahhhh

The weather was awesome up until Sunday too! Oh well, hope you liked the photos on www.fullboost.com.au
