I've found another "GT" that is right up my ally..... :twisted:
It has been somewhat modified though :? running a rear engined 4G63 (previously ran a 11.68sec as front wheel drive naturally aspirated) that should sneak into the mid 10's once rear suspension setup has been tweaked a bit :mrgreen:

You do realise that "GT" means "Grand Touring" and not "Grand Tearupthe1/4mileatbreakneckspeeds"? ;)

Argh, I got the translation all wrong.....

I always thought it stood for "Grow Two" :lol: (definitely need balls to drive that down the quarter at full noise)

Oooh Dear Sticky please don't disappoint me. I took you for a discerning intellectual type. I even forgave you the Morris Marina affair but these latest postings look like you've become a regular rev-head. I've just succeeded in taming James who is a devoted sedan owner and now you put up this kind of stuff :P :P

Well it's like they say Yellowperil..... Once a rev head - always a rev head.
I've been a quarter mile junkie most of my life and one day the Bunderburg teardrop will hopefully tear up the quarter mile too.
The mirage is owned by the guy who does most of my tyre fitting.
There are 2 events every year that I look forward to more than anything...... The Bellett Nationals and the 4's and Rotories Jamboree
I have only missed 1 Jamboree in 24yrs (SA Nationals road trip started same weekend :( ) and it has been 11yrs since I've had a car for taking down the quarter mile but that is already on the drawing board to change


Anywho I have made some more progress with my "GT" building project...... MORE PARTS ACQUIRED!!!
