Hi everyone. Hope you don't mind my intrusion

Just returned from another week working away with no access to internet.

Good stuff Sy, sounds good mate.

Good luck with the new shafts Clive !

What's all this talk about the 30th ? Seems like I have been drawn into something here .......just glad it wasn't a booked **** bleaching session .
If Sy buys the burgers, I will eat my near side mirror.

Regarding my P1 Rich, Matt was working hard to get the car finished for end of business Friday (today), and did so. There was not enough time to map, so Matt had the car ready & set at a base map.
Work is totally mad at present and The Jap Fest that I was due to attend this weekend, would have proved impossible due to work.
With that in mind I spoke to Olly and said it would be good to map my car next week so I can collect it next Friday on my way home (working in Sheffield all week, live in Kent).

Once again sorry to intrude, carry on fella's

 

What a cheek posting on your own thread !

One week to go then, great news. Hope you will have some RR numbers to tell us all about on the 30th then, and then maybe back them up with a low 11 ? You have already got one I seem to remember so that has to be your target matey

Clive

 

good news thought i aws finding it dam hard to get hold of the rcm boys looks like they have been flat out on your car.

 

good for me Im popping over today to drop my car off I might take a quick look

do you map on the road with them or just collect ?

 

Rich.. I assume that Matt will be driving & Dave Rowe will be sitting beside him busy on his laptop mapping it

I will be collecting it fully mapped and complete

 

wise move, that would be one scary license wilting mapping session...especially in 5th and 6th

 

I Might pop over to santa pod on the 30th May and get a few runs in.
See if i can get a pb, best so far 11.5 ,just hope i dont break a rear shaft.Front are sorted out now they will never break.

 

 

Would be great to see you there too Marti. Glad you front shafts are now sorted what ones did you replace them with ?.

 

One thing to keep in mind chaps, is that RCM have always asked me throughout the mods what I want at the end of the day, and I have always said a fast road / track car, and that's what I will get.

Drag racing has never been high on my agenda BUT I will attend on the 30th.

I am not making excuses but to be honest and fair to RCM if drag racing was my main priority the cars current spec would have been different.

 

Marti, what turbo are you running fella ? And stop this talk of breaking shafts, I was going to pop to the pod today but went to buy a trailer instead and so I did not to break anything before Scooby Sprint next Sunday

Clive

 

Hi Clive ,i have fitted some RCM GKN shafts ,the same that Olly has on the Gobstopper.

 

.

Hi Clive
I have the Rotated GT30R with .82 at the moment.
Really struggling with grip in first and second ,need to change brakes and get rid of the AP 6 pot 355mm so i can get 15" Mickey T's on.Should be in the 10's then i hope ,have to waite till later on in the year for that.
Cant get quicker than 11.5 with the 18" T1R's.
Removed a lot of weight from the car and got it down to 1210kg,get more wheelspin now
Marty

 

Looks like someone else could be buying the burgers My car should be mapped properly by then and steven has told me a couple of things to improve my poor show As long as I don't miss any gears I will be happy with my times

 

Guess I had best bring some burger money

 

Read this then scroll

Owning A Subaru Impreza - Subaru Impreza Drivers Club

 

I bought my daughter an icecream there and it was just short of £3! I bet the burgers are a fortune!!!

 

I have just fitted smaller brakes so I can get 16's on, may have new wheels on for 30th. Still on 6 pots but with 305mm discs. I still have wheelspin issues on 888's in first but not second.

1210 is light fella I am high 12's in weight and plus my weight really doesn't help, my weight at 30-130 was 407 with me and half a tank of fuel. Still will be in 10's on 30th if no breakages

Steve,

Tips from Steven is cheeting imo Fine is - you buy the burgers

Clive

 

Clive, I'm still the one with the heaviest car weighing in at 1500kgs with me in it

 

Holy smoke they are not cheap!!!

 

I'll be joining you soon Steve in the lardass group

 

True, where's another excuse.............erm I know, have you all got LC

 

Marty, just an example, but i managed 11.2 with 18" T1R's on back in 2006, thats in my wagon which weighs in at 1400+kg with me in it and bugger all fuel.

Good luck for the 30th guys.

Steven

 

Not far from me mate , I might have to sneak over for a beer

 

Would be good Daz.

Working at Norbert Dentressangle at Chapeltown. One minute from juction 35A on the M1.

Staying at Premier Inn 1 mile from site.

If you wanna meet up one evening I will pm you my mobile. There is a "Taybarn" restaurant next door

 

Just got back from Stratford drag strip,2nd round pro street.It rained heavy all day except a small window lunch time ,managed to get 1 run in, still an 11.5 but my terminal speed was better 127mph with a 60ft of 1.8.
Did not get grip until 3rd gear ,track was damp and cold .
Marty

 

Skull your cars looking , its obvious how proud Olly is over the new twisted kit

funny what you say about RCM always asking you what you want at the end of the day

I went with a twin plate clutch and ppg gear set which Olly didn't want as he said it wouldn't make for a nice road car - 1 year later Im adding up the cost of a 6 speed and a AP organic - wish I could say you live and learn but i dont seem to learn !!

 

Well at least you are modest enough to admit you get it wrong.
Anyway what does Olly KNOW
Dont tell him "what you want" next time and he'll still get it right.
I'm 60 and still know better than everyone else

 

You want an OS Giken twin plate with the push/pull convertor, pedal is much nicer and lighter than standard. Could be interested in a swap with your PPG

Banny

 

i it still that bad mate yep hate spending lots of cash 2 or 3 time to get what you want in the end. any one else having issues getting in contact with olly ? sent him 3 email and phoned a few times
