    So took the manta for a drive the other night, its goin like a balistic missil and leaves 2 black marks if i even look at the throttle 1st and 2nd and 3rd isnt much better for traction

     

    Got a gto kit for the monaro along with a gto rear wing witch is jard to find, got difillipno 1 7/8 extractors and goin to make a exhaust using a set of mufflers i had on the manta and the rear difillipno muffer i have, got pedders adjustable coil overs second hand for cheap, camber kit, got a otr brand new for under half price

     

    And also have the cherry black paint at home and will all be goin on as soon as i have fitted the kit witch may happen next weekend  :yahoo:

    So me and leppy took out the manta for a bit more playing with the tune today

     

    the car absolutely rocks and didn’t miss a beat

    had my self 87kg leppy must be 120kg and a mate in the back that is 112kg so 319kg of people and it’s still just mental

     

    drops power skids anywhere you want

    This pic is of a log where I took off and gave it a stab in 1st then changed into 2nd and held it

     

    can see in 2nd it took 35.7% throttle to hold it 6425rpm at 103km/h and car at this point would of been doin maybe 70km/h and can see as car speeds up I gradually increase throttle to around 60% by end of skid

     

    we added a bit more fuel while its cruising to help keep temps down and timing up top end now is at 15degrees and has noticeable more power then before

     

    3rd gear you have to be careful with if I easy it on nice and smoothly and by about 5000rpm I can get full throttle but it’s fighting on the limit to break loose

     

    if I just cruise at say 60km/h in 3rd and just put my foot down it will break out and be bouncing of the limiter

     

    did 83km round trip and chewed up 30-35 litres of e85  :good:   :yahoo:

    It’s goin to make huge power when we finish with it, we are goin out a few more times just creeping it up a little each time

     

    first thing we had to do was play with AFR while crushing

     

    we now have it on 9.1 lambda while cruising and that keeps it cool, previously we had it on nearly exactly 1 lambda but temps kept creeping up

     

    at idle we found it was struggling to bring it down so we added some fuel and could see temps coming down but was on the limits of needing more throttle to keep 1000rpm idle but got it right on a point where it does bring temps down after good hard drive but still idles with out stalling so might need to drill out my 2 holes in throttle blades a tad more so it idles but doesn’t read throttle %

     

    top end its still rich and has bugger all timing, we went up a 2 degrees to see 13 and when I went full throttle in 3rd as that’s the only gear I can get it flat we noticed couple pops up top so backed it down but that makes it worse so we got it up to 15 degrees top end and it’s getting better but it’s making power that it can not keep traction in 3rd at 140km/h but it’s screaming for more timing so it’s not still burning coming out the exhaust valves but to do this I will need a brand new set of rear tyres for it, it’s nearly fried these ones and they have done about 1000km/h

     

    theres a good chance right now it making near on  500rwkw it’s just insane

     

    So many times today I was driving and applying power trying to keep traction and at 60-65% in second it just frys up and if I dont back off it  bounces of the limiter at 70-80km/h and in 3rd if I went to aggressive on the throttle in 3rd it would do similar and that’s with 3 big people in the car

     

    taking  it out to test and tune hopefully it’s on next weekend to see what mph it does if I can get traction

    Yeah throw the 20s on my Monaro witch the paint work is looking absolutely stunning on

     

    will post pics later of that

     

    and get staggered 18s for manta and some semi slicks, not doin the whole drag radial thing on it yet

     

    Maybe one day I may change rear suspension, rear brakes and use some redials but for now it’s a street car and Im Not goin to comprise the current set up for some 1/4 mile times

    I love how it’s got the 2 tone on front end, side skirts and rear end but unless it’s in the light you can not notice it

     

    it’s the perfect match and exactly what I wanted

     

    also very glad I got the upper model 610 series paint for it and not the normal old 600 series paint

     

    very very happy with the out come on these parts and the cost is the best part

     

    goin in to pull of a full paint job for under $2k again

     

    might make a thread for it when it’s a bit closer to completion but till then I will just keep it in here

    Beautiful colour. Gotta love cherry black. I like the black highlights too. Nice and subtle. Will look great when it’s all together!
