both cars looking very good

 

Thank you

 

Have not seen the way he has butchered those rear doors

 

One of my more stylish mods I thought

 

Drag radials arrived so loaded them up tonight to get them fitted in the morning. So ready for the pod Sunday with both cars

 

I'm liking those twin exhausts and low profile tyre on that wheelbarrow

 

^^^ snigger

 

 

What size tyres have you gone for clive?

 

The race car is looking much much better

 

Well I must say that the white car turned up for mapping last weekend and I was very happy with the level of preperation. I have some privateer cars come that are much worse, and would you believe it some of the worst cars come from traders!

 

Thanks Paul

 

225/45/17 chap.

 

Cheeky devil

 

Willing be looking forward to see how you get on with different tyres,Clive.

Keep us updated!

Are you sure there drag radials mate,,
I thought they would have big soft sidewalls

 

Sure are mate, they are BF Drag radials. Using the same as Mikee, Paul, Sy etc have used in the past so hopefully 60's should tumble.

Will post up results good or bad like usual and will make sure the proper video camera is charged this time rather than having to make do with my phone

 

Here they are fitted on the lightest 17's I have

 

They're Pro Race 1.2's, aren't they?

 

Pro race 1's mate. 7kg each iirc

Clive

 

Oh yes, they have the more sharper stepped edge for the "stud well". Prefer the 1.0's over the 1.2's for that very reason - more aggressive looking lol

 

Loads of final prep on both cars today ready for tomorrow. White car has had it's cage side bar fitted. Yesterday the front bumper was sprayed and whole car buffed. Came up quite nice.




Little more weight removed from the blue car, fitted the drag wheels and tyres and adjusted the coilovers so they went under the arches. Also popped my wideband AFR gauge I have had sat around for ages.

 

two cracking cars, a credit to you and your friends

 

Thanks Mate

 

Come on clive
What time did you run mate,,

 

Well a good day all in all. I ran approx 10 runs only one was poor where I missed a gear all the others were 10.6 or faster. Terminals were down even though I can now make the line in 4th. I put it down to the scorching weather and the Syvecs pulling a little timing. Still best run of 10.38 @ 132 was very pleasing.

The Type R had a good debut with Paul piloting that one. Best run of 12.2 although did not get that one on video. My little lad missed a few bless him.

Anyway a couple of pics and videos for you
