I explained the situation in that nothing happened, they didn't give me a fine, a sticker or even breathalyse me. But they strong armed the organises and basically said if I run they'll pursue me.. if I don't they won’t as that's "justice enough".

Then two undercover cops approached me to talk about the car asking about what happened the night before. The story got bigger and bigger and by the time I heard rumours I had done some massive burn out like I was driving VT commodore.

So basically I was treated guilty as I couldn't prove I was innocent.

One of the directors is a close personal friend and I respect him enough to not run given I knew they were just talking shit and would have gladly had them charge me if they had anything.

Anyway.. we had a great day Saturday and be back bigger and faster next year.

Haha, the story going around was that you had done donuts out the front of the pub while drunk Saturday night so they kicked you out Sunday morning.
Anyway the car looks awesome and certainly gets a lot of attention.
Congrats on the magazine article.

It was like Chinese whispers, surprised there wasn't a story of me in shoot out with them.

Apparently there were car's doing burnouts earlier and also Zelco heard some carry on at about 3 in the morning. Think it all got rolled into one.

Fantastic write up and images! Would have loved to see it in action on the strip. Well done Chris!

Congrats on the magazine Chris. Well deserved.
I saw you Adelaide Tce the other morning. I was running late to work but I paused to see the car turn right at the lights and accelerate up the little hill. Put a smile on my face on a Tuesday morning.
In dash video looks Kray.

[Prodigy.]

I also spotted you the other week on Dunreath Drive near the airport, car looks incredible.

[Morally Gray]

Thanks all for the kind comments! Got a lot of ideas from this forum, really it's just bits copied from other cars I love from on here. Still a few little cool things to do so some more video to come.

The R type rubber and track 18s should be here this month so I'll get some good track footage soon as well.

[Rajvosa]

look forward to seeing this on track

ps got that boost gauge hooked up yet? haha

[Ital92]

Hey mate saw your car a few months back outside my work in subi, love what you have done it looks and sounds amazing congrats

[arthurtwp]

Saw your car in Vic park!! Looks good!!

[MTrezzz]

Love the car and modifications! I have one question to ask. How many miles did you have before installing the Gintani Supercharger kit? Also how many were driven after? Reason why i might supercharge my car when i hit 50k and wanted to see the reliability from owners that have/had put a supercharger kit after 50k miles of usage.

[Morally Gray]

Hi buddy, car had 75k on the clock when I fitted it. 2000 or so k's after before the engine failed.

Here is what I learned.

Have your oil analyzed, do not pass go, do not collect $200 until you have done this. It will tell you the state of your internals. Large companies will do this locally, such as westrack.

Inspect your big end and change you're bearings, if the oil is ok, change your bearings, inspect your clearances and then test your oil again after 1k.

Think about a thinner oil, after my analysis I may move to a thinner, more advanced oil.

Tune and retune, don't settle with a stock tune, dyno and retune till everything is spot on.

Plenty of posts on here with new and old motors, stock and modified failing. There is no silver bullet, just be careful and methodical.

Hope that helps.
