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
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
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

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

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....

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

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

some info on the combo :
89 FC stock chassis, stock fc t2 rear end, stock t2 gearbox with syncro mods only, 13bt t2 half bridge motor, s4 rotors, PTS 2mm apex seals, ida efi with ta45 76/102 mm turbo on 20 psi boost, 26x8.5 slicks , motec computer and ignition, sunoco maxnos fuel, 420 or 450 @ 20psi on the dyno depending on what ramp rate or jack off your left nut rate you wish to use Car weighs also 2174 pounds too, my first time out too in building it over 4 years

react... .228
60' ... 1.439
330' ... 4.342
660' ... 6.662
660' ... speed 108.60 mph
1000' ... 8.635
1/4 ... 10.311
Terminal Speed ... 134.93 mph

ok photo time of uncle chop chop, how to loose pounds


this is not my door but this is roughly what i did

floor deadener


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 i can cut more out of the car, as its weighed with driver and cloths and helmet and full tank o fuel

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

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?

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!

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!
