Andrews 'The Drag Car that should have been' thread

[Shamsher]

wow the beast is back goodluck with the build

[evlone]

who ver bought the engine/running gear out of it??

[evljat]

I believe the block currently resides in that purple EK that was at the Nats. Could be wrong.

Are you going to turbo it down the route, or chase the NA record?

Looks tops regardless, good luck with the build.

[Brent]

Had a brief look at it at the nats, looked awesome

Wouldn't mind seeing how the rear polycarb window has been done. It's on the list of things to do on mine and with the curve she doesn't look easy!

[NVMY R]

Yuss, it's back. NZHondas.com the naming sponsor?

[sunskreens]

Good luck with the build man, will be watching this closely. So much history right here

X2!
I loved watching this car do the business all those years ago! Looking forward to this build!

[Lith]

Awesome! Look forward to seeing how you go with this

[lotusboy]

you should progress through all the motor combos and take all the n/a records haha. D15, D16, ZC, B16a, B18c, B18cR etc

[Gudgen]

You should be able to smash that record with a lot less than 1000hp and methanol injection.

[Andrew]

I'm gonna put a lot of effort into tuning the NOS timing and it should run 9s

Visited Ronnie earlier this week, had a good chat and got some stuff off him:





I like this pic:

[IVTECU]

Me too looks bad ass!! Good to see you doing it justice

[Glassjaw]

Question for you, most likely already been answered..... but was the car Matte Black like the hatch before you took ownership of it??
Guess what Im asking is did you repaint it back to its former glory colours?

[Andrew]

It was vinyl wrapped matt black by the previous owner and that was pulled off before I bought it.

The wrap wasn't that great and besides matt black is kinda gay.

I'm still undecided if I take the shit off the boot as well

[Andrew]

Had a shitty day yesterday so undertook some retail therapy in the form of fuel rail, pressure regulator, AN fittings and braided hose

Still managed to get the fitting types wrong *facepalm*

Now just waiting on a price for a Bosch 044 fuel pump

Looking good Andrew

[NVMY R]

Looking good Andrew

+1

I'm sure someone has some factory tail lights for you swap out.

[Andrew]

Haha, the gay lights stay for nostalgias sake

[Klasse]

Haha, the gay lights stay for nostalgias sake

Yeah this is about the only time in history when I reckon the clear lights should stay

[TheProdigalSon]
