Ex. Dan Bajalis Drag Evo - Now in the UK!!!

Well, it seems to have taken me forever but I finally manged to get out in the car the other week since buying it back in Dec. last year.

Took forever to get here to the UK, and has taken a while to convert to RHD, install new parts, etc.

As soon as car arrived here, everything was stripped down and rebuilt by my tuning company (car planet racing), put on the dyno and she made 832 ATW @ 41 psi.

First outing was a learning curve for me and 'in car' time to get used to new controls and power delivery.
NO launches on the day, but managed a 158 mph pass with only throttle at the end of 2nd, full 3rd and 4th.

Anyway, I'll make sure to keep you guy's updated with progress and results.

Hope you guy's like the graphics.

Would just liek to say many thanks to Dan and Erika for making us feel very welcome when I went to So Cal to meet up, Thanks Dan for an awesome car!

Cheers,

Andy

Cheers guy's!

Filter was on due to the event being held at an old airfield, the surface is not the greatest and there's loads of tiny stones everywhere just waiting to get swallowed up!
Mesh will be on for drag strip.

WOW glad to finally find out what happened to Dan's Evo!

Glad to see you you are going to continue racing it over there in the UK.

Looks good so far!

What's the mod list look like after the complete re-build?

TBH all the hard work had been done so it was a good freshen up, full remap (no cold start was on it, so had to put that in).

Tilton racing lightweight pedal box, new glass front screen as plastic one was dangerous.

Lot's of re-wiring

New boost controller - Gizzmo IBC-R

Flocked RHD dash.

Coming up.......

Move to E85 fuel
New guages
New dash set up
Few other mods that should see quicker 1/4's

Cheers,

Andy

A lot of hard work went into that cars chassie to get it light and right. It's great to see someone serious with the car, I would of hated to see some idiot kid with it. Can't wait for the numbers, especially since at 41 psi the party is just getting started.
