Apparently James Watt over-estimated his definition of 'Horsepower' by some 50%, just incase others had more powerful horses then he had

 

7% pass rate ! It wasn't a multiple choice then

 

Andy: I know a guy in Jersey can knock you up a pass cetificate if you want.

 

No thanks Harvey, not my type of job, the only thing less interesting to me would be IT or Antiques

mine is there along with my car, but I dont like to talk about that on here anymore.

and no sadly it isnt multiple choice.

just finished the 7.5 hour stretch and am dead.

contemplating sleep or relaxing tv before getting up at 6 to do tomorrows (last one ).

its six hours straight, today I got a break for lunch.

 

Dbronx car in Australia is a 2.0liter and it goes 9.71 at quarter.
So a 2.0l can be made bloody quick

dbronx is no longer 2.0.

runs a 2.2 stroker kit AFAIK, nearly all the Rigoli built (both lots of Rigolis) use this rather than a 2.4/2.5 combo.

I don't know many people that are doing 2.33, 2.4 or 2.5 for outright power. Really to get more flexible engine, which would defintely be nice on UK gearing.

I found uk ratio (3.9) to long for Jersey, hence opting for 4.1.

 

Christian, dont you find 1st gear too long foir Jersey

 

Dbronx had a 2.2l setup at one time BUT switched it back to 2.0l just because he made more power with 2.0l and lots of revs.

how many revs is lots?

 

I believe the launch technique on the manual box cars was a 9500rpm clutch dump followed by flat shifting up the box

 

Yes thats right, 9500rpm is what ive also read on the white Rigoli car which drove 10.01 at quarter.
