Well, i managed to blow (what I hope to be) a head gasket(s) at the drags tonight.

But I did manage to run
12.724 @ 120.39mph with a really bad 60ft (2.283)on my first ever time out there in a manual, and on full street tyres.

Not too p155ed, as we wanted to upgrade valve springs and put some cams in anyway. It's better this happened now than after we went to the trouble of doing the stuff with the heads on and then having to take them off anyway. And my first ever pass at the drags was a 13.0

Anyway, off to start pulling this baby apart....

Sounds like fun Adam!

From your profile, you might be able to gain a second by being able to change your occupation to just "Truckie" :-)

Wow! congrats.

I was there that night, was your the gunmetal Soarer with dual cannons?

I own a JZZ31 Soarer (black on black) but i brought my daily driver that night. A 91 MX83 Toyota Cressida.

Best of 16.9 @ 81mph lol.

Good luck with the build up.
