Congradulations, you're getting there. you should take a look at the list again as it needs some cleaning up. The numbering is a bit off.

I guess you had no issues with the CVs? What were you doing for the launch and how much air pressure did you run?

The video doesn't show it un-fortunately. (1st page) But it was in 2nd gear that I lost all my time. My starts are now decent. I just spun all the way through 2nd and didn't get enough load to keep up the boost when I shifted to 3rd. I'm really starting to get a feel for this car. If I go to Houston Raceway Park. I'll hit 11's. But. I have to get my Air fuels taken care of First. They're Perfect at 15psi... But really go lean at 19-20lbs. I don't know if it's the mapping, or my Fuel pump giving out. I have to put my Electric Gauge on to find out. Then get with Russell if that's not the case.. But it's looking like fuel pump right now. It will be another 2 weeks to a month before I get all that worked out so 11's are safe from me for a while.

I'll post the Video of me keeping up with a Camaro going 11.8's all night. I Finally lined up with him. We were very even. But that constant spin in 2nd gear was so bad I had to do as quick a lift as I could. I then lost a car length on him.

No CV issues this time. I really think the Brace did its thing. I did as good a burnout as I could without lightly hitting the brakes and just cooking them. (Which I now know I should have done at this track. - I still wont do it at Houston Raceway Track though. Much stickier track) I was running 25psi in the tires. It's amazing the difference between tracks. I forgot how different the upkeep is on the different tracks. I should have went all out on this one. Ran 18lbs of Pressure. Cooked the hell out of the tires and bounced off the rev limiter at the line. This is extreme and since It's only my second outing on the new set-up. I was a little cautious. But I did beat on the axles more and more each time. Pretty harsh. It felt solid though. I don't think the track was truly sticky enough to be absolute proof the brace worked though. Still. It did not break.

I don't know about that. I won't be making another attempt for a month. There's lots of room for some of these very able guys to step in.

Just seen Markus's video for the first time, WOW that pre run burnout looked great

I only have some Gtech figures from my 3.2 when it was still on the AFM and normal chips at 15psi ET 14.2 seconds Speed 110mph. It should be repaired and back from the bodyshop soon and also have a Vitesse Wasted Spark so I'll get a 1/4 mile video run for you at 18psi with the MAF

Reason was that the clutch was starting to slip.

I need to find my timeslips from my 117mph runs last year. I hate being listed with my basically stock numbers.

I bought a spare transaxle so I can make some HARD runs next year and not care if I blow up a gearbox

There's a very long thread here John:

https://rennlist.com/forums/944-turbo-and-turbo-s-forum/319420-uk-3-2-turbo-hits-the-road.html

I hope to be updating it soon when it comes back from the bodyshop and has some more Vitesse goodies installed
