...and getting caught in the rain... #

 

Hi gents. Back in England.

P1 is now "ripping" according to Dave Rowe who has just mapped it with RCM.

20% Meths allowed a further 5 degrees on the ignition.

Also Air Con has been removed, up rated Oil Cooler installed and Launch Control activated.

Will be collecting car over the next 2 days.

 

Welcome back Clive

Where you getting the Methanol from as i'm thinking of trying it

 

Thanks Gramps.

I will be looking into Meth supply tomorrow. Needless to say RCM will know a supplier.

G-Max Research of Surrey would be a more local choice. They can get anything from Ronson lighter fuel to CH3NO2 (Nitromethane).

I used to buy Toluene from them as an additive in a certain Group B race car that a friend of mine raced, (cant say too much as it was illegal & televised)

 

theres this place jennychem just thought there may be somewhere else local

 

Welcome back to Blighty!! Cold isn't it

Let me know what the car's like when you get it back

 

Granby: thanks for that mate, I will check it out.



Daz: Thanks.

Cold, your not kidding mate
I got off the plane looking like a Nomad from a Hawaiian Nudist Camp roaming the streets of Moscow

I will be phoning Olly early doors tomorrow and hopefully collecting the P1 the same day.
As mentioned in my text to you, Dave R (EPS / RCM) seemed pretty impressed with the power gain and the new Oil Cooler should prove good when we are next on track.

Really looking forward to collecting it.

 

Have you had it on the rollers yet?

Banny

 

Good Question...

 

Welcome back mate, see how good we have been not messing with your thread whilst you were away !

I get my meth from Jennychem, at the moment it's really cheap £150 for 210ltrs when they called me last week.

 

Banny: Still waiting for RCM to move into there new unit. Rollers will be fitted.



Madhammer: Thanks mate. I thought everyone had died .

Cheers for that. £ 150 for 210 Ltrs

Car is nearly finished. Just sorting out some switches and I will be collecting it.

 

You'll have to have a detour 80 miles North and I don't mean Watford lol

 

Lol

 

get it on the rollers, rcm is weeks away, take it to dsa

 

Well rain has messed up the last drag events of the season Was hoping to pop a low 10 in for 2009. Oh well next season it is then.

 

Must try and get along to see you next season
Rainy day but all in all it's been a GOOD year.
Well done for your efforts this year.
Looking forward to next seasons times.

 

Cheers dude, has been a good year to be honest. Car has been fantastic, engine has not missed a beat once, had a great time with Scoobysprint, my first TOTB and Scooby Shootout where the drag times finally tumbled. Thanks must go to Zen for all there efforts with the car !

Next year I have now decided to keep the same spec, although it's tempting to go for more power it would be a shame imo to pull the engine now and then slap another turbo on (without even mentioning the expence). There are some big builds in progress though so competition will very strong next year when it comes to those drag times.

I also have my other car to build over the winter, this will be a stripped track/fun car which I am sharing with a friend. If Scoobysprint goes ahead next year we will probably use this one. So fingers crossed the build goes well.

Shame about the weather Clive

i woke up and looked out the window and went straight back to bed, just knew it wasnt gonna happen

 

I echo Scooby Hoo?'s comments. You have done really well this year Clive on strip and around the cones.

Well done matey


And you are right about several big power builds. Another big power P1 is lurking the streets up North too, somewhere near Luton.

I reckon ol' Daz DaviEs car will be quick too when completed. (Your doing a good job there matey.)

My P2 is still going to happen. I will know a lot more after speaking with Olly when I collect the P1 sometime soon, and then I will be able to let you guys know what is happening.

 

Cheers Clive

Although your assuming Daz will have an engine in his car

 

Daz his picking his strengthened 2.5 block converted for 14mm head studs and some cosworth pistons up next week. I also have some Pauter rods enroute. So no danger there McHammer

 

You have done stupendously well this season Clive...welldone.

Next season its going to be a hard one to improve on but i'm sure you'll give it a real go.

 

Great news Daz, up and running for the new year then ?

 

Thanks Peter, there is deffo a little more to come from the car in terms of drag times, some stronger shafts and a little more weight off and we will see what it will do.

What's the timescales fro yours now ?

Clive

 

Obviously this season has been wiped out so there is no point rushing for any reasons.
Will get the car back running by winter and doing the run in slowly then its off to Pennine for an inspection.

Will have a play next season tho

 

Ohhhhhhh you name dropper

 

How you doing Hugh

Long time no see.

I've lost the plot with Kent Scooby life over the past couple of months.

Speak with Steve (Eureka and saw Granps at Snetter's other than that have not seen many for a while.

I must get to a meet

 

Hi Clive.
All is well and we're off to the boys for Thanksgiving so away for most of November. I'm getting more serious about a P1 and will check some out when I get back.
I will e-mail you when I return to arrange a meet up.
Regards to Heather.

 

Cool, I look forward to it matey.

Have a great time and I'll hook up soon.

 

P1 nearly ready. Spoke with Olly today and Launch Control is up & running, it's been mapped for 20% Meths and the Air Con is gone.

There is a bit of an issue with the front brakes and that's being sorted.

Just fitting RCM's new up rated Intercooler. Being the first fitted it will need some attention & hoping to collect next weekend.
