Very good mate. I was getting there that day I was last with you. Several low 11's then broke shaft 2 runs last week and broke other shaft, that's a differecnt sort of consistancy

 

So there we have it - a mini scooby shoot out on the 30th at the pod.

Slowest buys the burgers

 

this will be a good day at pod think i might have to come along

 

Looks like I'm buying then

 

Change your gearstick back to standard Steve

 

would that help??? Plus it would take to long to get someone to swap it over ??? I'm sure when I gave it to alyn to do they were on 4 hours swapping it

 

Think positive matey, that other blue car is unproven

 

I'll be missing half my trim, as I will be bringing some seats down for someone in my car and the easiest way to do it is to fit them in mine Will probs only have a drivers seat on saturday

 

Not necessarily steve - Mad might have a breakage unless he gets some of these

 

New one in as of today However sticking with standard ones for now, my old ones were in pretty poor condition tbf. I bought 2 STI 7 ones, so now have a spare too

Anyway who was it broke one in 2 places ?

Back on a serious note have you got all your 'power' bits sorted on your car now Sy ? And hows that secret item coming along ?

Mad,

rear shafts now fitted (after quite a few modifications),replaced rear wheel bearings while I was at it and raised the rear suspension a tad- fronts shafts will now be next to break I guess.


Inlet Manifold has been machined to accept larger Throttle body, I worked out how to get the Larger TB to work with the Motec, New Lambda Sensor fitted,(Wiring fault on injector caused lambda to fail after it was flooded with fuel), curently making an 80mm IC pipe, just waiting for another raw lenght of pipe to arive to finish it.

Hopefully this will liberate a few more horses.

Secret weapon is still in transit.

Take it you went with the uprated shafts then ? What are the reasons for raising the rear ?

 

Nice work Sy.

 

sorry off topic did you get my emails paul

jim

 

yer - the pic is a comparision of the new and old one i removed - they claim they are good for 1200hp- but warranty is very limited - they came with special hubs as the splines are larger and longer and the studs were the wrong thread/lenght - I also had to mod the exhaust to clear them -but all sorted now.

Raised and slightly stiffened the rear to keep the car in a more normal/neutral stance when launching.

Cheers Paul,

Good luck at the weekend, hopefully u can squeeze me on the rollers after the weekend, once I get the pipework done

Sy

 

I'll keep an eye on this one

How far is Pod from Glasgow?

 

That is 10mm bigger than mines!

 

Sounds like it's all coming together nicely now Sy

 

Peter,

Get a cheap flight to Luton, Ill pick you up on the way up, and drop you back on the way back.


Unless you were planning that your car will be ready in which case the pod is about 60miles north of london.

Sy

 

Cheers Daz - when will yrs be ready?

 

Not for a while yet. It's in a million pieces again. Just had it painted properly. Just trying to save for and source a decent gearbox.

I'll be lucky if it turns a wheel this year.

 

Sy, I see your going to try some twisties in September

 

nar, just wanted to reserve my slot for the true scooby shoot out -over a standing quater

 

You are so predictable chap You have to give the course a go though mate, would be rude not to

 

okay ill give it a try - will it be monaco, melbourne or matalan carpark stylee

 

Thanks for the offer i might take you up on it...i'll have look at the air fares and stuff.

But my plan is to take my car down to pod and meet up with yous lot there and of course run the strip too but that won't be a while yet

And i hope its worth the wait when it's finished

 

Anyone going to Knockhill TA?

 

not long now skull
