I'd just like to thank Frank, Mick and the boys at APS Service Centre for building me such a monster! I took her out for her 1st run down the 1/4mile on Saturday night and ran a best of 11.451@120mph! Not too bad considering it was my 1st time with this setup and had a brand new clutch and standard tailshaft! There's a 10sec pass in her, but will have to change the diff gears from 3:9s to 3:4s as I'm having to change into 5th gear!
A HUGE thanks to Frank for lending me his slicks and front runners
She also made the Top 60 at this years Summernats 21 in the "Street Class" and considering there were 465cars of a very high standard, APS can hold their heads up proud! :bow:

Hi Dave,
Am running the Textralia triple plater. Funnily enough, I have only run it on the track and not the street yet (apart from bedding it in on the back half of the V8 Supercar track before the drags). The clutch held up very well! I'm having more work done to Rattler and will hopefully be ready for me to pick up this week :)
