yeah but thats an animal of a xe plus tb's and nitrous - however the green nova did a 13.6 at pvs last year right?? but that was a sort of modified shell?

locked the diff?
the diff has been welded

well the diff will more than likely go bang!
Or you will snap a shaft!

snapped a standard shaft with mk2 cav inner cv so went big block, you will regret welding the diff when you come the end of the strip to pull off, it shakes your nuts like you wouldnt ****ing belive lol

will keep that in mind lol
gaz/andys xe is all steel, +1mm head, 99% sure its on solid lifters, high lift cams, tb's about 9.5:1 or 9:1 CR and a **** load of gas!
I think its possible, i've ran 14.2 in fully road legal car with all glass, electrics and toyo T1R's, standard XE.
thats very good going then if full weight, must of been just a quick xe
Had stripped out rear but standard GSi front seats and 6 point cage so weight probably same as a standard one.

has it got a lsd?
Mine made it in to the 13's and it's been tuned for corners, not the straights. So good luck. Get the launch right and you may make it :thumb:

65 runs in the space of 3 months could be a little excessive lol

Not even quite one a day! Must try harder lol more than most people will run in a life time though :)

im advising you not to drive this car with the diff welded up, atleast not on the road anyway, i race my stock car with a locked diff and it's a pain in the **** to get off my drive and onto the trailer, you have to do a 40 point turn just so you dont break the shafts or cv's. but.....it's your choice, i will be at usc so might see you there.

I WILL Be in the 13s next time im at the pod. and my engine is 100% standard.
I was only 0.0893 off a 13.9999 at PVS and my best 60ft was .2 second slower than my previous best on a warmer day. so therefore i should theoretically be on a 13.7.
What was your terminal Loggy?

the car is only been set up for 1/4s at the moment even tho it is fully road legal
the diff was only welded as i couldnt afford an lsd, when i have the money it will be done properly

i very much doubt a welded diff would be considered roadlegal.

it won't contravene any rules i've heard of, but will drive crap anywhere except in a straight line.
it has a power boost valve, so i'd say it should make the times.

just a reminder a stripped let running shy of a bar will only pull very low 13s -12.9s with standard f20 nackered clutch and yok parada tyres
that said though i did pull a 13.8 with a standard xe in the same shell the let is now in at pv last year if you cast your minds back
