Hiya all,

Cracking site :grin:
Great to see some familiar names & also very cool to see another GTST in the making :twisted: (the more the merrier as be great to see more take on the GTR's etc in 2007).

Cheers
John

Hiya - shame with the F5 forum but all will calm down no doubt in time etc.

I'll whack a couple of pics on in a mo.

The car was bog standard in Nov 2004 & then the usual bit of modifying here & there ended up getting out of bloody hand :roll:
It turned into a drag car project & last year was the 1st year & on the whole a pretty good year.
An awful lot learnt that I guess you only find out through trial & error, worst learning curve was without doubt suspension - broke more sodding drive shafts than I care to mention :grin: . Real shame we had to run last year on the bog standard GTST gearbox as was holding the car back for sure but the bloody new box turned up on Dec 21st at last - 7 months late :)
Was great to see peoples reactions to the car last year, I suppose everyone loves the underdog I guess & I've been asked loads of times why a GTST & not a GTR - I honestly do think with sorted suspension & chassis mods a GTST will be up there with any GTR.
The wife has threatened divorce on at least 4 occasions in 2006 so hopefully she'll calm down this year :P
