why not? i'm in that area and would like to know in case of future dealings, and it seems like a legitimate complaint.


It was BPS motorsport, let me say though i had my clubsport tuned there and have never had an issue so it may have just been a one off. still was not to happy that we were hit with the full cost of repair

Nice work, that is a pretty stout time, bloody fast for me. Yes when I was referring to 13's was, no burnout, street tyres, soft launch, change at 5500, any old muppet can hang onto, I have seen torries and early commodores regularly into the 11's and 10's with so called "low horsepower builds" and other big dollar, mega cammed , missmatched combos fall on their arse and struggle to manage an 11.
Prev I had and L34, all it had was a isky cam, some porting and better stainless valves, higher compression forged pistons, everything else was stock L34, it only made 200 rwhp but easy to do 14.1 @ 101mph with the 3.0 gears, you only used 1st and second gear, but was setup more for driving long distance. But it seemed to be able to have no problems getting away from 12 second 400hp chequebook warriors, as they would say, must need a tune, I'll have to see my mechanic.....

Yep, if the quarter mile is your thing, removing weight is the cheapest mod, only need a socket set, door mechanisms, spare tyre and tools, minimum fuel , A/C and stereo out and passengers seats can carve up 200 kgs out.

Next is gearing, 3.9's or 4.11's cheap and easy in a borgy, put a spool in and run the slicks, just calculates it to be max rpm crossing the line.

Engine is air intake and exhaust as these are the most common NVH or cost cutting in a manufacturers build
