The mph we've had from the 240z proves the whp we have measured on the dyno we use to be pretty accurate.

There will always be different opinions as to correct bhp taken from whp figures but I think even if Ludders car made "only 960whp" even on a hub dyno everyone concerned would be more than happy with that for a true complete street car.

I have a saying when people ask how fast cars will be "It'll run what it runs" and possibly measuring more power on a hub dyno won't effect the end result at the strip.

them tyres you ran the 9.72 on were the MT bias-ply et streets?

if so, how have you found them compared to the et street radials?

i really dont understand the point of those rear seats ! Your just making it heavier, and i cant see anyone ever sitting in the back.

It can be street legal without the pointless rears :/

Pointless?? Adam if and when I take people out in the car on the road I do not expect them to squat in the back. Although it is not easy to get in the back, it is still possible.

When I am racing I will probably take the rear seat out.

Avon is a real big fella. Here he is testing out the seat (without the back) to make sure he can get in ok.

Give him enough beer and he will try anything

I just thought I would show you some of the care taken in the preparation of the car. The folowing are pictures of how far they went just to paint the roll cage. Only the best finish is good enough for Rob.

I believe the bias ply are at least 1/10th second quicker on the 60ft.

classic.

you dont expect them to squat.... just fold themselves in half, and never get back out again

Now that is a possibility

The interior pictures showing the cabin almost finished, just the door panels etc to go on.

Very tidy!
What are those yellow buttons on the wheel for?

[Wanabee Kiwi]

I'd say they are for the nitrous. could be wrong though

There like the Alpine remote for the i-pod I have just fitted to the Super Lemon.

PMSL.....thought id seen them in the lemon John!!....


They are made by greddy and designed to change the boost settings on the Profec controllers.......but that only requires 1 of them......so pressumably the second is being used to activate the nitrous.
