looks good when u have rear bar on but must admit dude it dose pull a good skid

[newsyk06vr2.0]

i only take the rear bar off when im skidding so i dont break it. yeah, it doesnt go to bad if i may say so my self. LoL.

put it in 3rd and side step the clutch at 2500 to 3000 rpm and off i go.

i even found some pics from the first burnout comp i ever entered, iwill post them up later.

[newsyk06vr2.0]

well what a turn around in event this week has been.


ive gone from losing 1 car, getting given another car and then
i had a 4.11 spooled diff fall in to my lap for the right price.

http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh36/ajr152000/P240711_1159.jpg

i now have 90% of everything needed to get her back up and competing again. (just needs front pads and lots of brake fuild)



i will try and get it ready for this years QSC C4C and enter it in the skids.

[newsyk06vr2.0]

even with all this rain i still managed to get a heap of stuff fitted/fixed on the vn.

i refitted the front brakes with fresh pads and put my 18's back on the front.

they just need to be bleed and thats 1 thing done.



i also fitted the VS V8 raditor and fitted the std V6 fan to it.

now that just needs to be flush, filled and bleed.


i also fixed the boot lock that has been broken for the last year and a half.



now all i got to do is fit the new diff and she is right to compete again, hopefully next weekend.







heres a pic of the brakes out of the car. not ba for a quick job in the dark.

[newsyk06vr2.0]

with massive thanks to chris for coming down and giving me a hand to put the new diff in.

we got the car back together today for the first time in almost 2 years.
i even managed to bleed the brakes after u left chris

so i backed her out of the shed and gave her a bath, boy did she need 1

http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh36/ajr152000/296962_10150303109045248_577030247_8508392_1018052 93_n.jpg

im stoked that it is back in a state where i can compete with it again.

[Carbon]

Well done mate

[keith reed]

Well done Andrew.

[newsyk06vr2.0]

thanks guys. i forgot how horrible my clutch is LoL.


turns out it will still turn the tyres. i may or may not have dropped the clutch in the shed. LoL.


now i just need to remember how to put the door cards back on. Lol.

[Carbon]

The bad thing. I have never actually seen this car

[newsyk06vr2.0]

that would be right, i get the car ready to roll and there is no burnout comps for the forseible future.
