Hi Jani, nice to see you on here, it's a really nice machine you have, and good to meet you. (look out for his car in the mag soon.

Not at the pod this week mate, was at avon park.

Steve the engine block is still 350z *wink* :):):) And yes it's the same fella that has the GTS skyline.

Trust you to spot that Denis lol.

I was just about to say, apart from the badge what makes it a 350Z. *hehe!*

Looks like an awesome car though. What sort of times was it pulling?

The blue GTM Coupe was on it's very first shakedown had a few problems as expected for a first outing and had 4 runs with the 4th ending at 13.4sec

Spinning in 1st, breifly in 2nd, and then for some reason I decided to change into 5th just before the line.

2.34 ...60ft
5.85 ...330ft
8.77 ...1/8ET
84mph ..1/8
11.22 ..1000ft
13.48 ..1/4
103mph ..1/4


but not a 'A' series *crying*

2ltr turbo 280ish bhp

But still not bad for a shakedown run, I'm not exstatic and not disapointed as there is plenty more to come

apperently there isn't any 3rd gear in the Cox *hehe!*
but to be fair you need to have driven it a bit more to find it, The gear change arangement in the Cox is crap *Yes*

I told you I'd have it at Avon (the bule coupe), and I did but It blew a brake line and we couldn't fix it with what we had *angry*

It still needs a lot of work, massive body alignment problems to sort and some cooling issues but you have to start somewhere*happy*

Ah a picture of side by side GTMs 8-) that both went low 13s together. I missed a gear, tho time to sort the gearchange.

and the Cox does have a third gear as I proved at MITP, also I blew the plenum on my last run in it *surprised*

well I know the red one goes like fook, what about the blue one

You owe me a tenner as I found it ok in the COX *happy*, That was one quick vauxhall, I wasnt in quick mode at that point as I did not have my crash helmet on.

Good pics matt did you catch one of my launches, Im more interested in one that felt very weird almost like I had picked up the front wheels for split second *surprised*.
