Good news, bad news.

Good news. Just got off the phone to G&D and had a good talk to them about the mods. All is going exceptionally well and the results a better than expected so far.
Bad news. Because the results are so good we are going to try a few new things and a few ideas we were originally tossing up. What the hell, its there and the G&D guys are loving it, how could I say no! (I’m loving it too)

Sooooooo…. No results till later next week (please don’t throw rocks at me).

I might put some info up over the weekend about some of the early changes just so I don’t get lynched ok?

Its not really that interesting anyhow guys. Maybe I should wait till I take it to the drags and then post up a timeslip with all the details? Its going to be the most interesting thing of the whole mod process ... the END RESULT.
Otherwise all I cn do is show a before/during/after dyno sheet and some pictures.

What do you think? You've all waited long enough, whats another week to wait to see the undisputed results.. the ET and MPH??:

I know what Casper has planned - at least until they decided to 'play more'. No doubt there will be a vast improvement.

As much as I'd like to see the results, I'd rather see my own! No VCT-powered wussomatic should be out-powering the true race car of the AU family.

yeah, saw it. But you know what? I think he's just jelous that I'm not mentioning zipties, duct tape, illegal sprng chopping and second hand, thirdhand and morehand parts swapping.

I guess they can all stand around at the next massive ESeries BBQ day hollowdork organises and have a good laugh about this thread, how I faked the moon landing and why I shot JFK.

Drop it now. If you have an issue with me then use PM or take it up with admin.
I'm not in the mood.. I dont feel like playing and if you want to become another Martyr for whatever reason thenI'm sure I can be provoked pretty easily at the moment.

Grow up.

No.

I'm not playing anymore. They have chosen to start this for whatever reason and I'm not in the mood for warnings.

Anyhow, back to the mods.. or at least the guessing games.

Any truth to the rumour that G&D have just bought Queen Street Smash Repairs in Sydney as part of a national expansion?

And secondly, the Caspermobile is getting a striking pink paint job and a naturally aspirated quad rotor conversion?

You know, if you were gonna mod this properly Shane, you'd just drop in a V10 and supercharge it (eg, Herrods Burnout Mustang, Mercules show car...) :evil3:
