Hi Jeff where's your car right now?- my guess is somewhere off the coast of Spain? by the way will you be at the HKS series next round at Rotorstock?

The car is still on time and due 6th July so it's still a bit further away than Spain but not sure exactly as I am not tracking it.

All being well I will be at TOTB then USC followed by Rotorstock.

Cheers..............Jeff

The Drag-R arrived safe and sound in the UK about a week ago.

Jeff is away overseas but I'm sure he'll post some pix when he gets back.

The car is here, I've seen it. The turbo is eye watering in size, possibly bigger than Keith Cowies! Really liked the touches with cage around the door cards Rob - and the seats!

Thanks, yes there were lots of little jobs that were very time consuming, the more you look at it the more of them you will see, inside the car, in the engine bay, in the boot, under the car, there's lots of 1 off things everywhere.
I'm very happy with the overall look and I'm sure you'll agree now that you've seen it, absolutly everything is back in that car and some, there was no weight reduction, its all weight added!!

Here's hoping there's enough power to run a 10

Rob

Lith · 22nd July 2008, 11:55 PM

Haha what do you reckon, small chance it might crack 130mph?

I'm not sure, its only a standing km this year not a mile like last year, might be getting close towards the end with any luck

Yeah should be good, take it easy on poor Jeff though, he's been thrown in the deep end big time, no practice at all, straight into it and against guys like you!!

I'm sure you'll win mick, just so long as Jeff has a good time and gets some good runs in I'll be happy,

Rob

m6beg · 23rd July 2008, 12:28 AM

Now were has your winning spirit gone Rob??

I want to see a 9 out of this baby for the Team.

Its ran a 9. Hope the top speed is good as well.

That's were we can do well.

Cardiff R33 · 23rd July 2008, 02:57 PM
