While I was stripping out the wagon I found some fithly bits of paper in the glovebox and decided to see what they were. It turned out that they were 2 year old timeslips from WSID. There were 2 timeslips;
First run - 15.34 @ 91.73MPH
Second run - 14.72 @ 92.26MPH
To be honest high 14s is what I expected that the car would do which is still pretty respectable for a stock 5L. Although I found the timeslips in the glovebox I couldn't be sure if they were for that car because its not written anywhere on the slip. So I had a look on Cackling Pipes and found a gallery from the meet that matched the timeslips. Sure enough, there's photos of the wagon exactly as it was the day I bought it.
It's really awesome to find out a bit of history of the wagon, even though it's going to be put to rest. Aparently the wagon had been entered in the Kandos Street Machine Burnout Comp one year. When I bought the car there was a massive dent in the rear quarter and the guy selling it told me that the previous owner had hit the barrier in that event. I'd love to find some pics or videos from that event to see how it went. I'm guessing that it would have been in either 2006 or 2007.
