Well its had its traumas! but oh what fun and very very addictive....

Thanks to Andy for our lift to Re Motorsport really appreciate it cocker

Weather has been perfect......

and the dragging, well i havent had that much fun since well Blyt9n, there is quite a knack to it and with the adrenalin getting the better of me i thought i would end up stalling it, but 5 hours and 7 runs later i feel i got a cracking time.... 14.7 a little more practice i reckon i could get into the 13's....

Well got some vids to share with you so here goes

thanks to Paul & Debs for coming to spectate and for the priceless advice i got from the crafts that went something like... more aggression and just ****ing nail it .....

 

Few pics as well.......


























Thanks to all that turned up , great day.....

 

Looks like a fab day, wish I could have made it instead of working

 

well what can i say i got home and fell asleep and woke up by haveing nightmares about them stuped times i know now that i need a better clutch. apart from that i had a top day
hats off for andy for getting 13.1
sarha for the picnic
and like sarha said thanks to paul for the advice and all who turned up

 

Looks like I need a new clutch too
Put it into 3rd and the revs start to rise.......bugger!
Not happy that an organic clutch which cost me 300 quid has only lasted over 7000 miles.

 

This ain't a good advert for people who might be thinking of coming to the next one. . "tip of the day " Let yous other half do the drivin. . .

 

Oh boys, i will show you how next time....its all about the launch

best get the clutches ordered ready for the next one!

 

Does anybody know if you can just buy the plates and not the whole clutch unit??

 

bump

 

Ta matey

 

andy you could have a word with these Clutch Fitting - Clutch specialists they were at nostal with the skylines and clutches and there exedy distributors so should be able to tell you

u need a twin plate exedy if u are going to do drag racing,and don't forget 1 1/4 mile takes about 5,000 miles off your clutch.look how many runs u did, so your clutch did well... ...see u there next time ..

 

I have been practicing and stripped the car, got it down to 8.3...the car looks sooooo different too,

check it out

 

Suppose its my own fault then........so in reality it cost me 490 quid for the day...what a bargain
Ive been stripping mine too

Went a bit wrong when I did a bit of practicing!
But ive upgraded the engine so should be in the 4`s

 

Thanks for that swifty,just E-Mailed them and they have them in stock.......guess how much.............45 quid,if I exchange my old one its 25 quid im amazed...might buy 2

 

Andy it might be the pressure plate not the disc itself, a new plate will not cure a worn "cover" !

Duncan

 

do you think you can make it a bit lighter

 

Definately think there is room for improvement wayne.......

 

Think ill pass

 

whoops that was meant to be after your post scott

 

This is on again this Weekend.....

Fancy it Wayne/ Andy

 

are you on glue

 

Only kidding......
