I finally got arround to replacing the Oxygen sensor wiring for the rear bank last night. This melted on the way down to Sydney so i disconnected it. 

It honestly feels like the car has picked up 20 or 30hp. Shoves me right back in the seat now!

Going to the local drag racing strip tomorrow night, see what sort of times I can pull :)

If you don't run a high 12, I will be very sad.

Would be cool to see it break into the 12s - fingers crossed hey!

Should be on the cards.Here is an old quote from Gouky.

With the stock E153 and some better tires for drag racing, it would definitely shave enough to be in the very high 12's. Some weight reduction would go a long way also, my MR2 is still full weight.

Well unfortunately for me the night was a failure. 

Lined up for the first run. Gave some revs and slipped the clutch. Car hooked up then lost traction, regained traction and the drivers side CV shaft exploded.

Tow truck home. Could have been worse though!

Time to upgrade CV's

Some photos of the damage on the CV.

I was extremely close to having a ball bearing go through my block.
