I think he said he was going to run them at 22 or 20?

Stav maybe you should have dropped the pressure a little once you realised they were a bit slippery.

Get back out there!

Holy cow this thing reads like the LOGIE awards.

I'd like to thank............................

For too many years now I have had nite night calls with the "useless". Conversations from "the man" always gives me a damn good giggle. Such passion, such grace and such innocence from he who is truly "useless"

. I now have updated my dictionary with a picture of the man in tru form. I can now set my mind at ease because that ringing telephone will no longer be responded to....."hey brenden, it's STAV"......bloody hell...here we go....

No word's can describe this mans passion toward his goal....only a six pack and a whole night can describe it :baby bott

Congrats mate, I'm very pleased to see you are happy. You can always call me if you need anything.

Kind regards

Mocky

PS now you have more time to plan us a fishing trip

**Stav** · 13-07-2006, 08:18 PM

HAHAH.. I made the choice of dev 4 for the fact that I beleived that it was better than the dev 5. Better idle ,probably a flatter power curve being smaller and the standard valve springs considering my tight a## budget.

I ran around 19 psi in the mickey tompsons.They did grab once and that is what made my day. The fact is I knew the car was going good but just had to get it to the ground.
Maybe the et streets heated up after that run and the pressure went up? I dont know.It looks like I will never know and it does not bother me just the same. I ripped a 14.7 with wheelspin on these tyres and now I have proven to myself that the car is something to be proud of.

For those who get 1.960 footers with dunlops sp3000a's without wheelspin what can I say?? I do not believe that these will ever give me any traction.Dont ask me why because I cannot answer that.

I have a few secret mods that I must say will stay secret.While some people know about some of my mods I have not told them everything. I have done alot of reading of performance material to make more informed choices with the combination of parts.

I know many people have laughed at me in the past but the gtech is the best single tool in my shed.

Iknow thatCasper isnt on tonight but man youve been a big help...Now a 13 for you.

Pinkbits · 13-07-2006, 08:42 PM

Stav - you have proven that the Dev4 can work and that the wagon is a killer! As much as I backed and supported you, I will admit that I am still surprised that you got the Dev4 to work as well as this. I credit you for not giving up when you almost did. Unfortunately, in your case, there was alot to be played with when it came to that cam BUT at the end of the day, you did it mate and it finally worked and worked well.

As far as the track - you'll be back out there. You're not this easily satisfied LOL. This has only made you hungry for a faster time!! Come on, you know you want to get back out there. Listen to the voices my friend, listen to them well :Up_to_som

**Stav** · 13-07-2006, 09:59 PM

Nar I wont be back ......I think.Dam you Eve!!!!

Its funny you should say this mate.The brain is switched off.It has been seeking a solution for the past 7 months. Now that its running properly I will leave it alone.Dont you know the saying? "if it aint broke" and I will not.

mik · 13-07-2006, 10:16 PM

very good effort and well deserved result ..........hmmm thirteens not far away

Mate, I've finally got internet access for a few minutes (I'm supposed to be writing awards for a client) and I had to come on and give you a HUGE Congrats!! After all the chats we have had the last 2 weeks I cant tell you how happy I am for you. Oh... and how close did I guess

**Mechan1k** · 14-07-2006, 11:29 AM

Bloody good work mate.
Would have ben awesome to see it though.
Ah well .. next time ... LOL ... so many people are goign to try and coax you back out to the track again.

As Rob (Yobboford from Fordmods) says ... "wagonmods ... getting you to Woolworths quicker"

:

Nice work mate.

**Stav** · 14-07-2006, 03:56 PM

Haha thanks guys thanks all.Mechanik..What was awesome was when the sp3000a's had no traction whatsoever.It was the longest burnout I had ever done..almost a 1/4 mile burnout lol!!

In side the car I saw a mazda rotary on my right.I thought that I would be eaten for breakfast and get spat out.I realised that once the wheels grabbed ,the car was catapulted forward and by the finish line the mazda was around 30 metres behind me..It was funny.

HLC · 14-07-2006, 04:05 PM

you bloody ripper Stav!!!!!

Well done STAV !!!! Go get the wagon out their mate.

**Stav** · 14-07-2006, 11:33 PM

Thanks Chiefy. The wagon is out there every day..dont you worry.

Good on you Useless,

Sorry I haven't congratulated you earlier but I haven't been online for nearly a week.
That AU I6 times list is looking very different all of a sudden. Straight back in at No 6. You must be stoked.
Suprised that you couldn't get traction with the Dunlops but looks like the MTs were a good investment after all.

Gees, if you guys keep going like this, i'll have to start modifying the engine in my car.

Youre alright mate not everyone is like me who lives on the computer..lol.

Thanks for your congrats..

No 5 of the na crew and no 6 on that list somewhere in drag racing forum. Once I ran that time I had loxxr6 nik yourself and hamo in my crosshairs but being happy with the time and freezing my left nostril edged me to not get greedy,packup and go home. I missed the family.

Many people have since said to me to go back but I highly doubt it. I think I will take up pilates or something. :evil_laug

janek · 18-07-2006, 03:42 PM

****... i wish i could see times like that!

what have you done to your beast? im assuming a mega stallie is in the mix?

**Stav** · 18-07-2006, 04:37 PM

No mechanical differences to the engine at all.The car was running too lean up top and I noticed it flatspotted at 140kmph.Got it tuned right and it went right.And my biggest secret......shhh... I skipped breakfast!!! :hihi:
