Nice photos Lewis, looks just as good in the photos as it does in

[OLS108]

Nice work mate

[SS_Fury]

i still rekon the vx clubbys are better looking than the vy/vz clubbies

*puts flame suit on*

[KPWISHN]

Thanks for the kind words guys. The missus and I love it too. It's our baby.

[JNP304]

Awesome combo getting sunroof and leather!! I looked for ages for VXSS with the same but could only get leather. Delph blue looks nice too.

You can always get one put in. I don't think they cost that much.

Performance mods are normally where peoples hard earned goes though.

[Cainer]

looking good mate

[Vulture]

Like the colour coded Orssom intake. Good job.

[vyssbeast]

fkn nice man
sytem setup in the boot is awesome simple and dont loose any room!! is that enclosure made to the correct capacity for the sub??
also the OTR looks great painted now i know how mine will look!!
awesome stuff mate

[HSV-270]

nice car buddy i have one in silver

[KPWISHN]

The enclosure is made of fibreglass and covered in carpet. Fits in firmly and wastes no space.

Not real sure what's behind it. All I know is that it fits in nice and neat, sounds good and looks very factory. Except for the big sub.

Cheers,

Lewis

[Gatecrasher]

Mate, that clubby is MINT! Love the colour - esp in the sunlight. If you ever want to part with it (e.g. at the end of the year when I'm buying http://www.********************/images/smilies/biggrin.gif) send me a PM & let me know! But until then... I'll keep wishing http://www.********************/images/smilies/tongue.gif. Cheers

[VU_SS_UTE]

Nice mate, love that colour. But give it a party and invite it down to planet earth ;)

[phunky_monkey]

Very nice mate!

Dane

[chrismickle]

hey mate i just bought a vx series 2 r8.. i like the look of your intake , where can i get one from and does it do anything to the performance of the car?

nice ride i like the colour. mine's silver. hoping to post pics soon.

[KPWISHN]

I got the intake from Marannos a site sponsor.

I had a mail-order mafless tune from chipmaster done at the same time as I put the intake on and it increased the performance a lot. I think about 7mph over the quarter with the two mods. The car previously had a maf tune and mcai.

The only thing I don't like about the intake is cleaning the filter. It is a foam unifilter which gets dirty quickly and is sort of a pain in the arse to clean.

Chris, you don't happen to be any relation to Brett do you?

[KPWISHN]

Love the colour - esp in the sunlight.

Sunlight is pretty much all we get up here. Thanks for the comments.

[KPWISHN]

Well it's been a while so I thought I'd start again.

A fair bit has changed since last time I posted in this thread. I live in WA now after spending 3 kick-ass years in Darwin.

The Clubby looks and sounds a little different too.

The car is completely awesome to drive. It sounds mean as hell and gets up and boogies like nothing I have been in before.

Huge thanks has to go to John (HOWQUICK) for setting up my weapon.:thumbsup:

Lewis if you want some dyno graphs posted give me a pm , or are you waiting for the bigger one at the dyno day :)

[KPWISHN]

I'm not to fussed about the sheets. You can put em up if you want. It will be a good comparison to see the differences there is after getting a few thousand kms under it's belt.

It should definitely get some better results now too, as it feels like it's loosened up a heap since I first got it.

I know it's got power by the way people hang on and go silent when I nail it.:lol:

[Mungrel]

Nice pic of the engine bay there Lewis ;)

Looked and sounded great at the track.
Went like a bat outta hell too!

[Big_Valven]

My word that is an exquisite machine. Thats some nice mumbo in there too LOL. The delft blue looks good even on my executive. And how nice is it, clean in the sun. Mmmmm, then that bodykit. I could drool all day.

[EXCESSV]

very nice mate....VX clubby are HOT AS....and a 15th Anniversary :drool:
and what better combo than a Street Quick Prepared engine with a Chipmaster tune....all it needs now is a Marks Workshop blower package :nyuk: :idea:

is the LS7 simply a crate motor or a LS7 with some Street Quick spicy bits?

cant wait to see and hear it at Pro Auto day :yahoo:

Since these photo's I have cleaned up some of the wiring in the engine bay. Gunna start prettying it up a little.

When I get used to the power it makes I'll finish off the package.:)

There's only a couple of LS7 parts in this one. The block and the intake manifold are pretty much the only stock things. The rest is all kitted out.:)

[blackss20's]

Nice looking car...... Neat stereo set up in the rear. Good Package

[cameron250f]

beautiful clubby love the boot setup! ive only got a ute so i can only dream......lol

[Proauto]

Can't wait to see what she puts out here at the Dyno Day!
Good Luck!

:burnout: as if it couldnt get any better....nice work mate i love this thing...
hot looking hsv with plenty of mumbo under the bonnet
at least you did it the right way...big well built engine to get good power...not the cop out of throwing budget turbos on a standard engine then just a matter of waiting for it to go bang

now get out there and earn more cash for that blower :bow:

[AVENGE]

Absolutely love everything about it, Awesome work, Delft Blue, although rare really is a beautiful colour especially under daylight. Was so busy gawking at the pics of the wheels i didn't even read it had a LS7 til i spotted the pic of the manifold. Great work mate, Would love to have that motor :bow:

[KPWISHN]

That's the whole idea. Under the hood looks very normal unless you have a bit of knowledge about them.
It has a couple of giveaways but nothing really obvious or over the top.

Thanks for the comments.

Here's another coupla pics.

[Brendo84]

whens it hitting the track next? i'll have to come down for a squiz

Benno

[KPWISHN]

Whenever you come down Benno I'll take it for a spin. Just let me know when and I'll organise some drag radials and some stock brakes.

Will try have a chat on the next cruise you guys are going on. I'll do my best to make it there.:)

[AJ85WA]

sweet ride dude!

[KPWISHN]

20's are now gone and the stocker 18's are back on. It's been lowered in the arse more than this photo but you get the idea.

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i41/kpwishn/DSC00926.jpg

The car is staying stock on the outside now. To much unwanted attention with 20's and a busted guard to boot.

I've ordered some of the Marangoni Mythos tyres. Hopefully can get a bit more power to the ground with these babies.

looking good mate, i've got a set of those marangoni's in the 19's, they go alright for the price. plus they are a nice wide tyre.

Hey mate,
Just wondering what you ended up doing with your 20's? Whenyou say they are gone, did you sell them or are you in the process of selling them because im on the market for some new 20"s.

[RATTLER]

WTF??!! Why Lewis? :confused:

[KPWISHN]

Sold them to Matt (vxSSilver). 20's are just to big for me. I don't like babying the car because of a set of rims. The maximum tyre width you can fit is 225 aswell. No good when under pressure from the 427.

The car did look mint with them on but I'm going for a more aggressive look and feel. I'm trying to get some Oz Racing 18" rims for it that should give it the right attitude for me and they're light weight too, which is a bonus.

Ahhhhh, ok, now I understand where you're coming from! One of the main reasons why I didn't go for a deep dish is so she still looks standard from the outside so the Police might leave me alone, lol. We'll see how that goes! :)

You're still thinking about mini tubbing and the 3.3ltr Whipple? If that's the case, don't buy any rims yet, as you'll need to get either 19x10's or 20x10's! :)

I still love the look of your car mate, well done!! :)

[KPWISHN]

Indeed I am thinking of the 3.3L and then I'd probably need minitubs too. Samantha is thinking otherwise though. But we'll see what happens.

[Benno25]

Hahahaha, the missus having a go at you again hey?!?! (Hi sammy :))

Car looks just nice with the stock rims i reckon. The oz's would look sweet too i think, give it a bit of attitude without being over the top.

Cheers
Benno

[VXCLUBBYLS1]

hey man nice ride i got the same model same 15th anniversary model to very nice

[RED R8]

I loved the 20's but it still looks horn stock and is very much a sleeper BEWARE at the lights ...

[Benno25]

I loved the 20's but it still looks horn stock and is very much a sleeper BEWARE at the lights ...

From what i've heard, i don't think its much of a sleeper daz. Apparently the noise kinda gives things away? :)

Benno

ps. how bout a bit of a vid or something lewy???

[davo951]

real nice car mate.. anyother plans for it ??

[hsv364]

Nice Lewis ..
I love the thought of a sleeper mate and your pulls it off a treat :bow:

[KPWISHN]

Thanks for the comments.

I'll hopefully get some video of it soon. Fingers crossed I can head down to the motorplex on my next break from work and I'll get Samantha to get out the video camera.

I think I'll be at the dyno comp next weekend so will get some video on the rollers for an indication of noise.

[KPWISHN]

Took the big girl down to the track the other day. >>> YouTube - KPWISHN WAW 21.11.07 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaMIX05p0G0)

Was my first time to the track with the new motor and the first time I'd run with a set of MT's. Best run was a 11.35 @ 124 mph. Best mph was 125. It weighed 1840 with me in it, so it's pretty heavy.

Hopefully with some practice I can run a 10.

[Mungrel]

Great result Lewis!

Launches look awesome :D

I've got the volume down at work, but were ya flatshifting at the track?
If not, give it a go, it might save you a few 10ths or 100ths

[WOMBIE]

Hopefully with some practice I can run a 10.
Absolutely!!!Well done for your first time out...sounded bloody brilliant too i might add:)

[KPWISHN]

Thanks boys. Hopefully I can get down to the next few events and get some practice.

I wasn't flat shifting. I was granny shifting. :lol:

[RATTLER]

Awesome work there Lewis!! So when is the 3.3ltr Whipple and tubs going in? Huh huh huh?? :bow:

[Mungrel]

Thanks boys. Hopefully I can get down to the next few events and get some practice.

I wasn't flat shifting. I was granny shifting. :lol:

:rofl: i tried flatshifting a few nights back. its fun :D

[OUTAtheBloo]

Looks like your spinning the slicks off the line lewis.

Good work though, i certainly know its hard to get the results that you want to aim for.

Dan

[SSidewayz]

Good effort on your first time out mate. I wish I could leave the line like that. What RPM were you leaving at and what 60'? Im sure with a few more laps under your belt theres a 10 there for you with that setup. Are you keen to go the way of a strip down + 90/10's ect or happy to run as you drive it?

[saj]

Nice driving there Lewis. I definatly have to go to Lewis's school of gear changing. If you take out all that stereo equipment theres a ten for sure:)

[VYR8HSV]

Good going there Lewis..
I was there on the night. Car sounded awesome going down..
Im sure with practice a 10 is on the cards.
Plus there was a pretty fresh headwind as well.
Not sure if that affects it to much at track level though.. Possabliy

Pete

[EXCESSV]

awesome work there lewis...love it
you made everyone look real slow...

keep it up and the 10s are yours in full street trim :yahoo:

[Darkrayne]

ya killed em lewis! she a real rocket thats for sure :).. great job with an awesome ride!

[KPWISHN]

Thanks for the comments. It was great fun and I do look forward to doing it more often.

I think I was leaving the line at about 3-4000rpm. Best 60 footer was 1.759 on my quickest run. I tried one 5000rpm launch but got mass wheelspin. I've worked out I need to give it a much bigger burnout next time and then will see how it goes.

I'm not real keen on stripping it down or 90/10's. Will see how I go as is. If I have to then I'll do that stuff but for now I'll start by not filling the car with fuel on the way to the track and maybe getting rid of some of the crap out of the car like fire extinguisher and other unnecessary accessories.

[EXCESSV]

Cheers, hopefully on Wednesday and maybe Friday aswell.drag racing bug has bitten has it Lewis? :lol:

If you dont mind me asking what clutch are you running now with the 427 in it?

[KPWISHN]

It's an NPC twin plate. They have a website somewhere. John sorted it for me.

I wouldn't recommend it though unless you really need it. It's very aggressive and not the most street friendly clutch but it definitely doesn't slip. Saj has one now too I think.

[Frenchy VX SS]

Simply awsome... love the sleeper look at the moment.
How is the rest of the drivetrain holding up?? Brakes etc?
Also, hows the idle on it, pretty smooth or nice and lumpy?

NA LS7 > forced ;)

Beautiful work mate. :bow:

spoke to john this morning and we talked future mods and what i use the car for and he recommended the CentreForce DFC so off to him in a couple of weeks for a new one.

[KPWISHN]

Drivetrain is all Ok ATM. 6spd is a little noisy but nothing to major. Got new axles and diff sorted when the motor went in.

I normally run a set of AP brakes and they're fine. The stockers that are on ATM for drag racing are sh!t house though. :lol:

It's not that lumpy, well, it's fairly lumpy. It's more like a solid smoothe noise with a real presence more so than a big lope like similar cams get in 346's.

Awsome thanks for the reply. Nice to see someone upgrading the basics with such a power increase. Too many of my mates have trippled their power output only to run stock brakes etc and continue to break/smash parts over and over again *shakes head* silly boys :confused:
Any chance when you get time of a vid/sound clip of your car at idle? I know its not as accurate as being right next to the car, but interested in hearing what a worked 7ltr sounds like ;)

[KPWISHN]

Yep it's a good thing. John did everything required. Drive in - drive out. Nice and easy.

I'll take some video of it sitting at idle probably next time I take it to the track. That way I'll have a video camera ready.

Sounds hot!
I've got some footage of it from a track night in august.
I'll see if i can shrink it n post it up for you.
A nice deep rumble from memory :)

Yeah its no where as nice as the centre force i had but i want this for track work.

[RATTLER]

Any word on the blower and tubs yet mate?? Huh huh huh??? :bow:

[hsv364]

you boys heading down tonight ?
Im going down for a peeky boo :1peek:

[KPWISHN]

If it isn't raining I'll be there. Looking good ATM. Seeya there.


Any word on the blower and tubs yet mate?? Huh huh huh??? :bow:

Won't be happening anytime soon Scotty. I haven't got a hold of this package yet.:)and the money situation.

Well, rained out it was. See ya's Friday.

[KPWISHN]

Chipped a little closer to a 10 last night. Pulled a couple of 11.1's.

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i41/kpwishn/motorplexshrunk0712071.jpg

I'm losing major time due to my suspension setup. It's standard FE2 springs with Koni red shocks. Nothing special. It's wasting lots of power picking up and dropping the fronts on gear changes. The car fully bottoms out on take off. I mean it drags it's arse on the ground and on gear changes it really jumps around aswell. The car wild as hell off the line. Pulling 1.5 sixty footers in a M6. :evil:

John changed my fuel system a bit too and Daniel did a little more mucking around with the tune.

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i41/kpwishn/DSC01404.jpg

Big thanks to Deb who was pointing out my inadequacies too. :lol: I will try and do something about it for next time and pull that 10. :thumbsup:

John changed my fuel system a bit too and Daniel did a little more mucking around with the tune.

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i41/kpwishn/DSC01404.jpg

Big thanks to Deb who was pointing out my inadequacies too. :lol: I will try and do something about it for next time and pull that 10. :thumbsup:

well done Lewis. Great to see you out enjoying your car. 4100lb clubby daily driver in the low 11s= yeah hah!

[jay_88]

haha very nice times there, and yes when ur launchin and changin gears really looks like the cars jumpin around wildly ,so a few more suspension tweaks and im shore u will get ur 10 :banana: good luck for next time.

Jayson

[hsv364]

Nice work lewis
wont be long now for the 10s :bow:

[SSidewayz]

Great effort mate. 10's on the way. Very impressive 60' times I wish I knew what a 1.5 felt like, So far mines a measly 1.8 and the G's were a great rush.

[EXCESSV]

awesome work lewis...1.5 60" :shock: now thats hauling mate.

well done and good luck with cracking the 10s on a full weight street car with nothing but slicks on :bow:

[Tre-Cool]

awesome effort mate.

not bad for 430rwhp. :stick:

:lol:

[VYSHSV8]

Yes well done mate keep it going you will be there very shortly :):):)

[yella terra]

Getting closer Lewis, good work

[KPWISHN]

Cheers guys, having fun and enjoying the ride.

[ATTNSEEKR]

Cheers guys, having fun and enjoying the ride.

good work mate, that cage is only arround the corner, 1.5 60' on your suspension is good going, i could only dream of 1.55 or lower 60'.

will try get down for the next time you head out :thumbsup:

[VYR8HSV]

good work mate, that cage is only arround the corner

Looking awesome. Show what a good package can do down the strip.
And still behave great on the road..

But will you be putting a cage in her when (as it is only a matter of time)
you do drop into the 10's??
Or just leave it as it is :bow: And be happy that you did get into 10's

Either way. Bloody awesome :bow: :bow:

Pete

[hsv364]

Pete[/QUOTE]

Ohh here we go again ! :confused:

[KPWISHN]

In respect to a roll cage, I'm not too sure. I enjoy the racing and would like to continue if I can run a 10.XX, but funds would be what it would come down to for a while.

Before I get ahead of myself though I need to run a ten to even start worrying about it.

If I can get a removable non-intrusive cage like the one in PRO346 and all is good to keep running then I'd do it.

I don't really want to take the streetable nature away from the car. Had a big cruise up through the hills yesterday with the baby seat in action and the family all had a great time. This is what I had the car built for and this has to continue.

Looking great everytime I see this machine!!

Nice VX mate, like your plates :)

nice clubby man, love the plates :P

[hsv364]

I feel your pain Lewis ..
It is great news that you were looked after straight away with a new set .. Nothing beats customer service like that . hopefully its a isolated incident and you wont have a issue again !! Well until you bolt the V7 on you crazy fcuker:). like i said before mate it was great to catch up at motorvation and your car was a real performer being driven hard all weekend ! Despite what some people say on here about myself or any of my groupies :rofl: as you no mate we love just to be apart of it all and have no problem with yourself or any workshop that you choose to affiliate your self with ! The only people that has negativity between certain workshops are the shit steerers that wernt Evan at the show so they are purely just making talk up to cause friction ?

Clinton

[huggies]

Hey mate
thats a dream package
can i ask where/what brand the OTR is on it now

cheers

[KPWISHN]

:thumbsup: I agree completely Clinton. I love getting out there and having a go.

Won't put a charger on for a while I'd think. Probably within a year though.

Can't wait till my daughter is old enough to jump in the car seat and support her own head. That was the only negative about the weekend I suppose. Poor missus and young one had to sit in the sun all day and couldn't come for a cruise.

Breaking driveline parts is inevitable. Lucky I have great support from some great workshops which makes it a lot easier and stress free.

Here's a photo of the rig cruising. (Thanks to garvs from SC) I forgot to take a camera.

Hey mate
thats a dream package

cheers

It's a Higgins OTR from WA Performance. I've done a bit of reworking of it though to try and get some more air through it for the big motor.

[ACUZED]

definatly one sleeper look there lewis remember seeing this at the no limits track day couple of months back sounded mean as both on and off the throttle

[KPWISHN]

BELZ inspired me.

I've been wanting to do this for a while. Not my mad chop, but paint my wheels white. Looks awesome even with my shoddy skills. I think I've convinced myself. Cleaning would be an issue I suppose. Looks like a supercar. :)

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i41/kpwishn/Rubbish%20Stuff/white.jpg

Also considering a dark shadowy look. Doesn't really suit though.

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i41/kpwishn/Rubbish%20Stuff/dark.jpg

If anyone feels like showing off and doing a better job than I did, it would be much appreciated.

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i41/kpwishn/DSC00926.jpg

[azza_84]

Very nice clubby mate

[Belzey]

Geez Lewis your skillzzzzzz impress me :lmao:

[KPWISHN]

Well I do suck at this but old mate Adam (vh-holden) doesn't.

Thanks heaps Adam.

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i41/kpwishn/Whitewheelsonthebeast.jpg

I like it. Wonder if I could fit this in before the next cruise. :diddy:

[SS_FIFTY]

Just a couple of quickys

[Belzey]

SS_FIFTY can you do me a favour and go into my ride thread and do a chop on my wheels black PRETTY PLEASE.


You got 3 weeks Lewis ;) get cracking..

[OUTAtheBloo]

Yep, white rims will be the go !

Dan

[KPWISHN]

Phwoar!!! Thanks heaps SS_FIFTY. :thumbsup: You betta get onto BELZ-V8's or she might banish us. :lol:

3 weeks hey. I wonder how I could do it? Would you get it 2 packed or powder coated? Anyone know? Anodised?

[Belzey]

3 weeks hey. I wonder how I could do it? Would you get it 2 packed or powder coated? Anyone know? Anodised?


I am looking into the powedercoating for mine.. I will let you know how it all goes.. ATM just researching and asking questions :lol: cause if it looks sh*t in the end it will be hard to reverse haha..

[brend04]

Dude the black wheels look the best :D:D love them

[VYSHSV8]

Lewis go white :)

[SSINISTER]

go gloss black. but what eva color u go get them powdercoated, alot more durable than paint

[SS_FIFTY]

Im not sure how it would go, but I am in the Glazing industry and I have seen some pretty mean looking Aluminium finishes. Im not too sure if the same applies with wheels, But see if you can get black anodised, That would be something totally different from the rest of the crowd, and it looks awesome. If not definately get them powdercoated, not painted, As you would be surprised with the amount of stonechips you get on the front wheels

[macca33]

Oooh, the white looks very cool and reminds me of the VK Grp A, BUT, the dark grey looks absolutely SINISTER...that'd be my choice.

As stated, get them powdercoated, it is a much more durable treatment.

BTW, the rig is a ripper mate, you've done an excellent job.

Cheers,

Macca

[diabolic]

KPWISHN:

PM sent with regard white rims mate.
Hope it helps.

Dan

[IWARNDU]

Nice ride lewis..seen ya on a few WCC cruises..AWESOME man

White rims look awesome IMO

[VyLS1Berlina]

Sweet car mate, look forward to seeing it at the cruise !
I like the dark coloured wheels !

Cheers

David

[FJ20]

very nicly done mate

[HSV Listy]

Lewis

I am getting my new set of rims shortly. I will be power coating them gloss black. The price I got was $55 per wheel including removing the white power coating already on the rims. Just to give you an idea.

[KPWISHN]

Cheers Listy. I've been quoted $50 per wheel but just haven't got round to doing it yet. Should get it done soon though. Can't wait to see what it looks like.

I took the car for a big cruise on the weekend (450km). Didn't miss a beat, It was thriving on the conditions infact. :)

I still can't get over the balls this car has when overtaking. It pulls hard as all $$$$ at highway speeds and feels like it just doesn't want to stop. I'd love to get on an airstrip or something and really test it out.

It achieved 354km to a tank of fuel which isn't too bad at all.

[S2VYSS]

Sweet looking clubby mate. Great power and awesome times too

[KPWISHN]

Just installed my drag bags for the upcoming Holden Vs Ford drag day. While at it I realised my rear shocks are completely ****ed. All floppy and can be pushed right to the top or bottom by hand and won't move once there. :bawl: They are Koni reds and have lasted about 40,000kms. I suspect they have been buggered for ages though.

Anyone have any recommendations on what I should get? Gunna get a set tomorrow hopefully.

[hsv364]

Drag bags
new adjustable shocks....
Me thinks lewis's big rig might be on kill for Holden v Ford
I'm keeping well away from ya and I feel sorry for the poor ford barsted that pulls up along side you for this one !

Maybe try the koni yellow at least you can adjust without taking them off :)

[VYSHSV8]

Anything that is quality that is adjustable Lew should suite and make sure they are suited to your ride height :)

[EXCESSV]

Anyone have any recommendations on what I should get? Gunna get a set tomorrow hopefully.lew just speak to Brad @ West Coast Wheels or Brad @ WA Suspensions...

they both will steer u in the right direction :D

[KPWISHN]

Brad from WCW has half the underneath of my car ATM. Hopefully (if it can be done) getting my front struts revalved to 90/10's and my wheels are in getting powder coated white too. :)

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b266/dod_1986/Photo%20chops/kpwishnclubby-white.jpg

Once I run my goal of a 10 I'll be selling all my associated drag setup :) and going a set of Tein coilovers. Can't wait for it all to pan out.

save your money mate. just borrow the 90/10's i have.

they are too dangerous to drive on the street anyway. like tryign to steer a boat.

[KPWISHN]

Will see what happens. If they can be revalved I will do it and on sell them once finished with them. If they can't be done for some reason I will take you up on your offer. Could I use them for Anzac Day? I will find out if they can be done tomorrow or the next day. Thanks for your generous offer aswell. :thumbsup:

[iloveholden]

good luck with it mate even though im not sure what your talking about? :rofl:

[KPWISHN]

Koni's are being revalved to 90/10's and should have them back in and ready for action before next Friday thanks to Brad From WCW. :bow:

If the rain buggers off in time, all should be in order to run a good time. :burnout: :headbang:

Yes, hopefully no rain. Wasnt much fun last night i can tell ya. got 3 runs in before being cancelled at 9pm and there was bugger all people too.

I just had my car on the hoist last night in preparation for HvF and my koni red adjustable has totally shit itself also ! my bet is it hasn't seen 3000kms
your not alone :bawl:

[KPWISHN]

No good Clinton. I don't think I'd buy a set again. I've been searching and found a lot of people in the same boat after only a handful of kilometres. Pretty bad really considering they are such a well known brand and the cost of the things.

Hopefully I can find a set of stockers for the rear, short term, as I don't want to buy a new set cause I'll be buying a set of Teins shortly anyway.

twas no different with the Bilsteins on the XD ESPs in the 1980s......

[SLYSV8]

How do you guys no if your 90/10's are stuffed? Ive got koni yellow adjustables which have been valved to 90/10. When i had them out of the car and i compressed them and they didnt come back up, i thought they were stuffed. I later found out that because they are hydraulic they dont come back up on their own, like a gas shock. Apparently they r okay.

90/10 is an "easy up" shock....will be conciderably easier to pull out than to push back in.

[SLYSV8]

Kool thanx. When driving the car down the strip, it doesnt feel like the front end is coming up. I guess it doesnt help that i had super low springs in still.

[KPWISHN]

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i41/kpwishn/190608.jpg

Got the car back on the road. It's been a while since I had driven on the street. Wheels are back after a few months getting powder coated. Main reason it wasn't driven for so long. Need to give it a good wash and get some decent photo's of the rig.

The car is going as hard as ever. Traction is a problem for sure. John (HOWQUICK) spent time putting in some titanium valves and some new springs and retainers aswell as readjusting everything and getting it all spot on after a year of me beating up on it. Look forward to next season at the track. Expectations are high going off the "seat of pants" meter. Last time out It ran an 11.01 @126MPH.

Happy days. :thumbsup:

[EXCESSV]

looking good lew....definately one mean sleeper ;)

now get to brad @ WCW to get ur normal springs back in and get it out of 4wd spec :)

[KPWISHN]

Yeh, stock springs + drag bags = 4x4 spec :lol:

Will do something about it soon enough. I have heaps of sets of springs but all of them are very very low and I don't want to put it too low again. Tiens would be the go, but I gotta save up some coin first.

[RATTLER]

Welcome back Lewis! The wheels look fantastic mate! Good work :bow:

[KPWISHN]

Took the car for another go at the drags yesterday. First time this season. 11.0 @ 122 was me best with a couple of 1.5 60'ers. MPH was down due to a major headwind. The track condition was the best I've raced on. It will all come together one of these days.

No breakages was bliss. :)

After such an enjoyable day at the track, I think I'm going to up the anti a little and start racing in super street like some of the other boys. Not until next season though. Will give me time to set the car up a bit better. For now though I'll be getting back down there and keep on plugging for a 10 in NA M6 form.

[hsv364]

Nice way to kick off the season ... soo close
good luck with super street ! Hopefully we will catch up soon down there

Clinton

[Evman]

How crap was the wind last night??? I was trying to play volleyball haha! Love your car man. I first saw it along Canning ages ago, I nearly twisted my head off coz I couldn't take my eyes of it haha.

[KPWISHN]

Yeah the wind was terrible. I was making a couple of MPH more at half track but pushing shit up hill after half track against the wind. Still stoked to get an 11.0 at only 122MPH with the M6. Makes me feel better about my M6 skills. :driving:

I will play this season out as is and make a bit of a decision come the off season about what to do going forward. Might get an auto ute and give it a real shalacking.

This is what a 1.5 60' looks like in the heavy bitch. :D Fkn love it. Phil takes an awesome pic. http://www.highoctanephotos.com/modules/drags0809/albums/userpics/Kwinana/20081029_Motorplex_Test_n_Tune/20081029-IMG_8281.jpg

[Darkrayne]

Simply Awesome Lewis :) and yes that's a great shot of one of your launches! wheels are nearly off the track! :D

[KPWISHN]

The goal has been achieved. NA M6 into the 10's.

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i41/kpwishn/drags3011081.jpg

As for plans going forward. Retirement and cruising duties for the clubsport. Will probably chuck the motor in an auto ute and whack a very largish cam in it and aim for 9's next. Another baby on the way atm, which is our first priority but should have a drag spec ute in the next year or two. Followed by FI and then aim for 8's. You guys know how it goes. :)

[VYSHSV8]

Congrats on the 10 Lewis :goodjob::goodjob::goodjob: knew you would do it one day.

[VyLS1Berlina]

Well done mate, sounded very sweet today !

Sorry if I missed it but how were you getting it off the line? Any special technique?

Pretty jealous of this monster:bawl:

[KPWISHN]

Use and abuse is the name of the game in 09.

1200km driving/camping trip over the weekend. Just got home last night, 4 tanks of Ultimate later. South West WA got a good old ear full from the 427 as it whooped through some very nice roads. Balingup to Nannup was a real highlight. Awesome road indeed. Was just driving around finding good roads and setup camp wherever we ended up. :)

Before the journey:

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i41/kpwishn/DSC03848.jpg

[Ryan_04]

thats awsome that you still use it normally and is still practicle,

i bet it runs even better now after taking it on a nice long run

[KPWISHN]

Yep, I built it for having fun in with the family and we all enjoy getting out and about in it. I had been up in Coral bay for a couple of weeks up in the NW doing the boat and 4X4 thing, then got home and felt the need for speed. :) A quick stop at Kmart on the way ensured we had enough camp equipment to last for a couple of nights in the bush.

The car didn't miss a beat. The OTR filter will probably require a good wash today after the gravel tracks the rig saw. Will get out there today and see how it looks.

[saj]

How did you go with the shocks?

[KPWISHN]

All good. Bolted the whole setup in at home. Still need to go and get a wheel alignment though. I put a set of springs on them though that are a little low. Might get another set that aren't quite so low for a bit more of a friendly ride.

How did you go with the 90/10's? Saw your vid from the other week and looked as though it stood up pretty tall.

They got the 60" times down to a 1.49 but still didnt get the front up as high as yours, I need more cubes . :)

[KPWISHN]

A 1.4 60 footer. Well done. That's honkin. The extra length of the ute might not be helping with getting the front up either. Either way that's still an awesome 60 footer. 0.1 quicker than I could ever get.

[VyLS1Berlina]

Deffinately like it better with the rear spoiler back on ! :)

[KPWISHN]

Me too. :) The spoiler was off for weight reduction at the drags along with the spare, jack, sub and amps from the boot. Still fairly heavy at a touch over 1800kg. Stock brakes were on it too to fit the stocker rims. It looks like an old pig with steelies and no spoiler. :lol: Very happy with how it's all going atm.

[Tony_Montana78]

Saw you driving around in Mandurah last week, damn it sounds tough!!

[KPWISHN]

Thanks TM78. Perfect time of the year for getting out and about. Looking forward to Motorvation (sh!t it's come around fast), but only as a spectator this year. Should be a top weekend.

[AGIT8D]

Make sure you stop in for a beer mate! We can sit in my car and pretend to drive it around :)

[KPWISHN]

:lol:

MV for beers sounds good. Can I ride shotgun in the Fred Flintstone mobile? :)

[RATTLER]

Hiya Lewis,

How come only a spectator at Motorvation dude?

Scotty

[KPWISHN]

I reckon it will be a top event to go as a spectator. Last year was good fun being an entrant but I didn't do any driving events except for the supercruise. This year I'll be spectator and maybe next year I'll go back in it and enter a few driving events.

[Benno25]

Looks like ya really enjoyin the car a fair bit now lewis, the camping trip you went on looks like good fun!! I miss goin on big drives like that up here, reckon we should all pull our fingers out and go for a big run with a few cars through litchfield again!! ahh, the good old days!! :)

Anyway, bring ya drinkin hat on australia day mate.

Benno

[Bazz]

Hmm, I like the look of the launch. Watching my vids again and seeing the gearshifts making the car bounce makes me think it's time for some 90/10's, especially since we have lost the open speed limit up here, the car is never going to go around corners hard any more.

Look forward to having some beers on Aus day with you mate.

Cheers boys. Enjoying it alright, it's a beaut time of the year down in the SW of WA. Agree on more NT cruises too. The best cruises I've been on were with you boys on the way to Litchfield. Miss the good old days. Australia day beers sound good. :)

I'm in Pine Creek atm. Fly back to Perth on Friday arvo. You'll have to organise something and I'll see if I'm able to come. Current Job I'm at up here doesn't have much room for unscheduled journey's unfortunately. Surely the other boys would be keen as for a run. Sounds like some good mods happening to the silver beast anyway. :) Got that Orange sucker up and ready to rumble?

Only updates for my clubbie is some HID's. Fark they are bright. Gotta try and stop myself chucking more weight in it. Soon it'll be a Two Tonne Tessie.
