Thats not from a scoob...lol

 

Corsa I think Fai.

You can just see that picture blown up and framed in a nice chrome surround hanging in reception of Mclaren Group HQ

 

I think this has been offered to Tate Modern

 

Olly C will be giving me an update within the next couple of days on progress.

 

I thought you said Matt and Olly where the Best
Sorry Boys

 

What would be funnier is seeing Matt or Olly's face if a new mechanic had done that !

Just returned from Santapod with Sy.

His car is awesome. He ran a 10:63 today after a little tweak or two.
Apart from a couple of Super Comps he made the rest look a little silly.

Was running NO2 and ALS. Not sure what the power delivery was but on a dyno it was reading 600 ft/lb.

Nice day Sy. Thanks matey

 

That's quick ! Now I have some catching up to do ! What was the terminal ?

(Well done Sy when you read this)

 

OMG...BIG welldone to you Sy

 

TS 131mph Hammer

 

I could match the TS but not the ET tho!

 

He is a video of the last two runs I did at the pod yesterday. It was a good day - dry, cool and not many people there, so got some set up time

The first run in the vid - I aborted halfway down as third dint go in properly - when I got back around to the start - there was a Skyline GTS waiting back from the start (on the left) - for someone to race - I guess he got his wish


Sorry about the poor quality - its a cheap chinese multi camera set up i bought on ebay, and the cameras need focusing/cleaning and I was concentrating on the car set up.

Im not sure if the sound works, or all youll get is interferance.



Sy

 

Heres a couple more if you really cant sleep

 

Nice Sy, I see on the second 2 vids you moved your internal camera so we can't see the speed of those gear changes

What were your other times yesterday ? Many others in the 10's ?

 

Hi Clive (Mad),

Started the day at 13s, kept dialing it in - try different things, got about 5 very low 11s , then 10.9, 10.8 , 10.6 - a bit down on power at top end thou- should be rectified in the next few weeks.


Sy

 

Excellent work mate ! What 60ft's were you making ?

 

best was 1.59 but most 1.7-8

Sy

 

1.59 !!! Brilliant mate

(BTW, there's another project thread some of you may be interested in, thought it time I had one of my own )

 

shame the video does not do it justice really does it .

Did you get the link I sent you for the photographer Sy ??

 

As Royal Fail used to say "I saw this and thought of you..."

Nice work Sy - especially the steady progression!

 

10.6 is great time, what suspension setting were you running to achieve this time?.

 

Blue, I believe Sy was running on the softest setting of his EXE

 

Yes it's EXE TC but damper set to softest - I always ere on the soft side (According to me misses anyhow)

If weather holds -will be back up there this Saturday - if anyone up there say hi.


Sy

 

I should be there this Sat mate, not racing you though

 

See you there - it not racing that important - its the taking part

Ill have my new camera up there that takes ultra slow motion vids - good for analyisis

YouTube - Casio EX-F1 high speed video

Sy

 

That looks very smart. Hopefully I can get a few tips to get me in to the 10's

 

Sy, you were correct mate, your car ran 2 tenths faster than a Bugatti Veyron over the quarter mile.

How much were they ? £ 800K

That's a complete joke. I have seen many in the flesh over the years at The Goodwood Festival of speed and they are ok, but there are better lookers out there, and faster ones over the quarter

Talking of The Festival of Speed at Goodwood, those of you who have not attended that event ? your missing a fantastic time.
That must be now rated as one of the best car shows on the planet.

Some of us had the chance to have our cars on the scoob section last year. £ 500:00 for the weekend I believe !! plus hotel & travel. We gave that a miss.

I would hate to think how much that show costs.
