took the Capri out last night. we checked the converter on the weekend see what the stall is, it was 7000rpm which is what he changes at, we wanted 5500-6000rpm but i ordered my converter at the same time as his so they may have possibly got confused with the rpm, either way we can change the stall with new stators. we went out last night to see how it goes with higher rpm and she didn't let us down. got 4 runs, first pass was slow took us that run to work out the boost for launching and the tyre pressure, wasn't the best track being a Wednesday night but was still good, was still spinning a bit. Top Gear Australia was out shooting for a story, they were testing the new BMW X6 and Porsche Cayman (they ran like 12.9@110), they came over for a chat, they were really impressed with the Capri, though they thought it was too fast to be a street car, we were all ecstatic, and after the first pass the car was consistent as
9.19@149.9 1.40 60' 7500rpm
9.06@150.7 1.37 60' 7700rpm
9.05@151.5 1.39 60' 8000rpm
9.02@151.2 1.38 60' 8000rpm
the last 2 passes the car pulled right and it was out of the groove 3/4 of the way down, u can sorta make it out in the 2nd launch in the vid, could have been 1 or even 2 8.9 passes, but overall couldn't be happier.
little video, only used phone, as we weren't expecting to run good numbers
