| Interesting thing happened yesterday. I was at work (Croydon Racing Development, formely Croydon AutoSport) and we were running up the black 200sx "DEVLSH" on the dyno. 3 guys in the boot to help traction and it got 400kw @ the wheels with wheel spin. Deflate tyres a few psi, now 4 guys in the boot, and one in the back aswell as Jim driving, and as it hit max boost, it snapped the straps and almost lurched off the front of the dyno! While the wheels were doing 180KPH! Lucky Jim backed off. If it had stayed on, it would have been going for close to 500kw @ the wheels. Through an auto! Admittedly with nos but fuck me dead! It will be running down at Heathcote, Victoria this weekend so if ya can, make sure you go and check it out! |
