Ah excellent well game on if it's with the FTO guys and girls! Would like to see how the old 16vt puts up a fight with a tuned MIVEC!

You have a very very long drive then, as Crail is up in Scotland, and you're all the way down in Kent

Ah man.....erm perhaps not then lol!

Was wondering why u were posting to be honest..

Your more than welcome.

Me and matty will defo be going head to head.

Ross

Ross

Good Luck guys, your hopefully getting good times as I type

Right then... I reckon Ross will have managed a 13.4 @ 109mph

I hope not - I got lower than that with only 300bhp and fully kitted - with his power and lack of weight, he should be a couple of tenths lower - about a 13.2

was that at santa pod though Nigel? I think Crail is supposed to be pretty bad for traction!

I still have the sounds of really terrible music ringing in my ears and I keep getting whiffs of tyresmoke and burning clutch off my clothing.

I think I may have post traumatic stress.

It fccuking is I tell thee.

I have way too much mechanical sympathy.

My best time was a 13.4 @ 113.1 with a fair bit stripped out and a 2.354 60ft time.

Yes that's right, I'm SLOWER than I was in November with full trim.

But still road Toyo's so that's my excuse and I can't side step the clutch, I'm a pussy.

I'll let Ross post his times.

i think with that terminal you should be able to crack the 13secs, you just need to stop being a girl and dump the clutch i take that back actually until i take mine onto the strip, but i don't think i have much mechanical sympathy though

Hey guys

Great day even though the trip to crail was a bit of a mare.

Firstly, 15 miles from crail i broke down Car just cut out and wouldnt start. Seemed like a fuel problem, so thought the fuel cut off may have tripped. Hit the button (after i phoned mattb for clarification on where it was) but no change. Mattb suggested because the tank had been dropped to change the rear ARB, the connector may have been on incorrectly. Fiddled with all the connectors etc and it started

Drove to crail and jumped out to get cash, but cash machine wouldnt take my card

Eventually i got cashback on chewing gum and jumped in the car and again it wouldnt start

Tried the same "fiddling" but it didnt work. So investigated further and realised the main feed to the relay for the wiring mod was disconnected from the relay. The spare wheel was sitting on the cable and it pulled itself outta the terminal.

So forced it back into the terminal as a temp fix and it started. Carefully got to the airfield and parked up. Got there and got a set of crimps.

All fixed.

As for the times...

Remember and have the sound on and listen to the commentator

Big thanks to mattb for taking the pics and letting us know the times after the runs.

Ross

...and your best time of the day was 13.35 @ 109mph

That's good going there and judging by the sounds of your car bouncing off the limiter (or was that Matty?) there should be another 3/10ths in there somewhere. Your 60ft of 2.15 was pretty good

Matty your car is quick so you should be able to get a 13.0 and theoretically a 12.9 as soon as you nail a launch!

Cheers Leighton. It was Ross off of the limiter, not me - I changed around 6500k. Yes I know that's a waste.

I think even Ross will admit my car has a 12.9/12.8 second pass in it.

Mines was bouncing off the limiter because it was spinning not because i was needing to change gear

To be honest, I doubt that i could get any lower than that.

Ross

time to go forged then ross?

That would be the sensible thing to do...

Ross

just throw some NOS in there instead

U know me so well

Boom tiscchhh, booom tissschhhhh, beeeep beeeeeep, bebebebebeeep, booom booom
