beefy finally gets a run
 

so after 4 years of building i finally get a run, first out i bunny hop to a 12.4 :blush:
then next i go into the 11.2 zone then next out i get into the tens.
it went 10.7 10.6 10.3 then back to a 10.5 with some nice limiter bash and third gear spin :lol:
Im going to be racing in another two weeks and hopefully ill dip it into the 9s, as when i started this build years ago all i hoped for was at least 9.99 on my stock rear end and stock gearbox :icon_tup:

got any questions ill answer them, im not setting any records just having some fun, and im certainly not re inventing the wheel so ask away

Congrats on finishing the project, now is when all that work pays off and you get to have some fun :) You shouldnt have any trouble going 9s especially only weighing 2100 lbs. Nice 60' too. Good luck and keep those videos coming.

looking real nice. congrats

Sick!
Ive been waiting for you to track this damn thing! Looks great!
How much boost were you running on those passes?

Nice runs, sounds sick!

Congrats, sounds great!

Sounds NICE...

I also love that Holden ute that you ran... Wish GM would bring that to the states and revive the Chevy El Camino with that car/truck....


L8R

Congrats.. What did it 60 foot?
Also what tires are you running?

very nice ur car will hit 9's in no time congrats

yeh thanks fellas, im stoked .
the boost was set at 21psi in only a wastegate spring setting, no boost controller as of yet , and my best 60' time of the day was 1.358 averaging around 1.4

cant wait for another two weeks time to do it again :nod:

those holden utes are the most common car you could see around aust, everyone loves em, and there is so many mods that can be done to them, at the mo twin turbo kits and supercharger kits are selling fast on them

react... .228
60' ... 1.439
330' ... 4.342

http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b3...76/gayshit.jpg
floor deadener
http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b3...f/P1060005.jpg

roughly i took out front and rear reo bars, cut out the door frames drilled out rear hatch metal , cut out boot floor , dry iced out the floor deadener, removed complete car wiring harness and dash board, ali seat was fitted, chomolly cage fitted , weld rims fitted and just about anything that had no purpose was ripped out of the car, i still have to loose 70 pounds to make it to minimum spec for my class 2100 pounds , but since i way 260 pounds :lol: i can cut more out of the car, as its weighed with driver and cloths and helmet and full tank o fuel :nod:

Ps this is me 260 pounda shot at the local motorkahna track in my old 808 :lol:
No wonder i picked beefcake as me username :lol:

Killin it!!!

Nice work. Glad the hard work payed off.. What wheel/rim combo you have on the rear of the car? I like the way it look on the car?

Nice work, looks great!

Your interior looks a lot like mine. haha. Other then my dash is sheet metal. And I happen to drive from the other side of the car! hahaha
How did you get your cell set up? Just chopped the floor/stock tank out, welded in a set of bars and mounted the tank. Then threw a new sheet metal floor/housing over the cell?

I love it!!!! Thanks for sharing the pics, I know what I need to do now!! Who did the motor?

Have you been using the PTS seals for a while?

Anthony

15x8 5 inch backspace weld rims, should have got 5.5 backspace though ,with 26x8.8 mt slicks

pretty much that was it, except the two bars are bolted through the chassis, as its easier to remove the whole lot if work needs to be done in the area.

the motor was built buy a local guru, john otter, not workshop affiliated, and peter and brett from pts seals i have known them for over a decade now, and since the product is made local i definitely support the guys with their seals :)

Got any pics of how you bolted them in? Thats a really good idea. Being able to remove all that would really save a me a hastle if I needed a quick fix. By the looks of it, you almost have direct access to the entire rear end!

this is a underside shot of the trunk, and i forgot to mention, i have lexan rear hatch and plexiglass side windows, im going to remove the headlights and motors this weekend and also rip out more random little bits too , the car also has zero plastics left too, undertrays and under guards an shit :lol:

haha just noticed ive left the old fuel lines in there, time to cut them out :lol:

I noticed that too, but I didnt wanna say anything, wasnt sure if you had them hooked up to something else.
thats a really neat setup! I might have to do something like that too!
