Bathurst Dyno Day

What a day it was, at least 60 cars outside, all with bonnets up, everyone wondering around and socialising, some guys choosing to watch the race, some choosing to see what was happening on the dyno, families wondering around with smiles on their faces, only to be broken up by the sound of an engine roaring, what a way to spend bathurst. The day was a huge success, thank you to brisbane commodore club for choosing us for the day, we are more than happy to do it again for you in future, it was an epic day to remember, some big numbers set on the dyno, and most of all no mechanical failures, as James was keeping an eagle eye on AFR's over the whole day, which ensured every car made it home under its own steam. Everyone was fairly well behaved, and their was full respect between the Holden and Ford boys, all hear to enjoy themselves. We do sadly have to say, that like bathurst, Ford won the day, with an XR6 turbo taking the best torque and most power all to itself. The naturally aspirated 6 cylinder class went to an XR6 BA as well, Ford also grabbed the win for the forced V8 class, with a Supercharged FPV GT-P making 330 odd kilowatts at the tyres, however Holden did get one back, claiming the V8 Aspirated Class, with the first car on the day being the winner with 307 KW in a VE SS. Our next dyno day looks like it will be for the skyline club, on the 22nd of november. We may have to confirm that date at the later time, but thats what early negotiations have come up with, speak to you all soon.......... James

Street Torque

Street Torque has come and gone for the year, and there were plenty of positives to take from the weekend. Todd has taken over 1400 photos of the days, and we will endeavour to get them up on the website for you during the week. Lam's turbo pulsar got its best power yet, making 336 horsepower at the front tyres. There was plenty of people coming through and having a good look at the cars, And a big thanks to Sean, Garry, Todd, Rowan, Brad and Lam for donating your cars for the weekend, it was a great sight all setup in the pavillion. Were looking forward to our first in-house dyno day on Sunday, dont be afraid to come down and have a look at the cars and see how much power they make, And im sure the owners would be more than happy to have a chat about what has been done to the car.

It has been a while since we gave you all some fresh news, and here it is: We have the new mainline 2WD 1000 horsepower dyno in and waiting for your car to roll it up. We have recently finished rebuilding keith's R34 skyline after a failed boost solenoid let the motor boost over 30 pounds, hence the rebuild. Ken's efforts got the skyline to a huge 280.1 RWKW, not bad for a 2.5 litre motor. We have also organised a dyno day, our first for the workshop. It is scheduled for october 12th, a Holden versus Ford shootout to celebrate bathurst, And are trying to organise plasma screens, a BBQ and plenty of shade for everyone. On the 4th and 5th of october we have an awesome array of cars heading down the gold coast for the Street Torque event at the parklands. So far we have a classy 56 chev, Supercharged fairmont, Choc's tough HK, A turbo sss pulsar, Craigs VL turbo (hopefully), A VK director in top nick, An extremely quick twin turbo vx clubby, and james one tonner ute, which was asked to go in the burnout competion by the event organisers, they actually asked best performance to come down and have a stand at the show, we are all hoping good things come of this...... We are also starting up a new club, The Throttle Bodies club, for LADIES only. The idea for this club is that the ladies can come together, talk about, show off, and learn anything they want to learn, without having a group of men, telling them what to do. We are planning to have group get togethers and meetings where we can show you new innovations for your rides, and make them everything you want them to be. All you need to do ladies is ring up and get your name on our list, leave your contact details, and your type of car, and we will organise the rest for you. And for the guys, We have started up a Best Performance and Cruiser's Car Club. This club will have weekly/monthly events, for any responsible drivers who know there is a time and place for racing, not the street obviously. We are and want to stay a respectable workshop, but also want to show our pride and joy of our rides. We will be having family days with BBQ'S, Dyno days, Modification info nights, Swap meets and regular cruises, all meant for all of us to enjoy our passion.
