hi guys me and a few mates have set up a 1/4 mile run
and Im doing a time trial on it on thrusday night.
we measured out a 1/4 perfectly and have a xmas tree as well.
Im gona run it this thrusday and I was wondering is there anyway I can boost the permaface with out doing any mods just for the night.
its a stock TC with a Tg motor in it.
my plan.

1.low fuel
2.optimax
3. no spare or tools in the boot
thats it?
i was thinking about taking the filter off but I dunno ?

i was just about to write that hehehehe
I think taking the seats out is the best it wont take long its only a few bolts. good luck
it would be nice to no what a completly stock Tg would do??
Tgs weigh more than the earlier models dont they??? and have less power??? Hey thats another thought take of the belt belt to that stupid air pump thingy heheheheh if its a tg engine
o well thats enough crap from me

OK well it wasnt that good.
I done the first run but I think I woke up secuirty at the same time.
I done a burn out b4 i done the run.
Then I done my run and all my mates said get the fuck out of here cos secuirty where coming.

I pulled a 18.9 which was pretty shitty.
my reaction time was dogs balls so I reckon I could cut off at leaset 2 secs and get into the 17''s
I did'nt even stage the car up that much it was my first run for the night so I just wanted to get the feel for it but I could'nt do another 1 cos of security.

so I hope to do another run real soon and show a good time
