12.3 @ 112 (IIRC)

****in boost!!!!!!!!! bit of a dissapointing day in some ways, not bad for 1.05bar but why couldnt the car give me the 1.4 that we mapped FFS!!!!!!

First run was spot on launched car and car jumped out of 1st.. was sure i lunched the box luckily not, found first and did 13.9

Rob (white RA)

 

rob that will be 1 fast car when its right m8

CONGRTS TO 555ROB WINNER FASTEST SUBARU OF THE DAY

 

me white RA with carbon bonnet

13.4 @ 101 with a dodgy map & 1 bar boost, did you see me beat the GT Art Skyline?


i managed to lose my time cards and then went for my final run to find my last tab had fell off my wristband and was turned away

 

Flat 4 - you should have been able to run by checking against your registration. You should have insisted. A mate in an Integra did just that having had the same, they checked with the office using their walkie talkies, and let him run about 15 seconds later....

 

What did 555rob get as his fastest then ?

 

it was late on and we were going anyway, at least the clutch lives to fight another day

 

12.2 i think

 

Mikee got 12.1, no terminal though

 

Rob, I had the same problem at S'pod last year, theory was that I had so much wheelspin that I was getting violent axle tramp and that was rocking the engine and gearbox enough to knock the gear linkage against the transmission tunnel, hence causing it to jump out of gear...rose jointed upper engine steady for dragging methinks

 

Took my 200SX there, i was away this weekend so did the run with the car loaded up with a bag of cloths, spare wheel, can of fuel, 4 pack of beer, coats, shoes, toiletries and a thick winter double duvet in the boot.

I think i was the fastest 200SX of the day with 13.507s @ 103.97 Not too bad for a 290BHP RWD car.

 

Wasn't that Jet car something else!

Went but decided not to run, into my 3rd day of Scooby ownership and didn't want anything to pop so soon after getting it (Would have been just my luck!).

I've had a grin on my face all weekend 250+ miles under my belt.

Great day and as someone has already said 'thanks to all who did run and make for such a great day'.

 

12.38 @ 111mph
12.17 (didnt get terminal)
12.33 @ 113mph
running just over 1.4 bar

 

So the 5 speed didn't die then Mikee?

 

any pics??

 

tim, box still ok, only did 3 runs, and stuck to 4000rpm limit to save box
didnt run till after lunch as i had a braided fuel hose split on me,
but thanks to tweenirob and kev got it sorted.

mikee

 

I took some pics of the day, I need to look at them, blank number plates etc, not having done it before how do you upload them with a link to this post? I'll try and do it tonight if people are interested.

 

Who ran the fastest time of the day?? (Not including the Jet car etc!! )

 

nice 1 john

 

the samco skyline ran a 9.7sec at 146mph

 

Christ!! What about Norris?? He was hoping for 9's this time IIRC??

 

my best time was 13.4 in P1 well pleased congrats to Rob and Mikee
ken

 

the sumo skyline did a 9.6, didn't see norris get into the 9s all day

 

apparently norris kept getting bogged down and was running 11s most of the day.

Was a very boring day to watch to be fair.

Jet car was fun.

That guy must be nuts!

 

Heres a vid of the Jetcar for those that missed it. (11mb)

 

Jet car ??? Nevermind that... The Top Fuel was awesome!! Such a noise.

 

i think the craziest fella was the chap on the bike 7 secs 177.7et crazy mo fo!!

 

yellow bug ,legacy turbo lump ,4 foot wheelie,11.997sec @118.44mph

 

Thanks. Saw your 22B run but didnt realise it was you. doh!

 

I got mullered on the A6 beofre leicester on one of the immense straights by a 200SX (no, it wasnt JohnF)
was hitting 1.48 bar too!!
no idea what he had under there... but wasnt standard thats for sure
I bottled it at a seriously naughty speed (was totally clear of other traffic, and dry before the preaching birgade kicks up..) and he roared past like I was stnading still!


altho funnily enough I caught up him up when he got snarled up in heavy traffic.
Then blitzed him on a large roundabout and off I went onto the '"twisties" on the the way to the langtons in full attack mode
great drive home..

lots of very nice cars there... some tasty supras/RX7's and some lairy skylines.. didnt notice the evo's - not my bag

 

got a good little vid on my fone of that from the stand!!
