Really? I can't see the Golf in that picture

 

just read the whole thread over 2 days, and i have to say you have two great cars there!!!

what times are you expecting for the drag car down the strip this year? good luck with it, it will at least be well into the 9's???

 

Hope for solid nines @ 145mph+ initially, with luck starting this Saturday. With further fettling then ultimate target this year is to get towards the mid nine arena.

Type R will also run this weekend in it's new spec, should be good for low 11's in the 120mph bracket.

Well that's all the theory !

 

Clive my old evo 8 ran 11.4 @ 124mph 1390 kg short rs box
So little paul should do a high 10 for sure
My car also did 10.99 30-130mph day at same spec
So should give you an idea sir

 

Quickest S215 equiped car to date is 10.88 on race fuel running 558bhp. So at 509 bhp I will take a low 11

 

Clive
My evo was on a gt30 at 500bhp
So with the lesser weight you are about spot on with an 11 or less as my times was with a rubbish 1.83 60 ft time

 

Therefore my 11.1 on v power at c.560ish with full weight dressed on road tyres and no LC wasn't too bad!

 

Good luck on saturday Clive, I'm sure you will find that nine your after

 

What was your terminal, I thought your car was over 600 on VP ?

 

Type R is having a little make over this week. We are fitting a carbon bonnet and boot which needed spraying so we are taking the opportuity to tidy up the front bumper too as there were a few markes and a couple of cracks. Should be completed tomorrow.

 

Nice 1 clive
Should look very nice

 

Little Paul is a tart he likes a shiny car

 

That don't mean I used all my "Orses" for that run

Cannot recall terminal ( probs mid-late 120s) - 11.1 was on 1.7 bar V Power without using LC, on road tyres and as you know slipping clutch! That was my 2nd run ever with the car.

634 on 2 bar V Power but we never used that on the strip, although Paul did say that a 10s could be achieved with this.

 

I would expect you were nearer 600 bhp @ 1.7 bar mate. Very good time though for a fatty

 

See ya tomorrow clive

 

what he said...good luck

 

I've just seen a video on your youtube page

 

Yep good day indeed

Here's the run

Job done

...good to meet you and little Paul today...the Big Clive moniker is certainly appropriate

 

Kin'awesome result Clive. Congratulations.

 

Cheers chaps

 

last time he was let out he got an ASBO about that...........reckoned he'd get time if he was caught again LOL

 

that might be a bit too much information to be honest...and he seemed such a nice man

 

Rock on Clive. Awesome suspension ravel on launch

Well done on the 9

Just as well you're a big lad as you'd be taking off otherwise

TX.

 

We were shocked when looking at Simons pics after, it's now on standard struts on the front !

 

Well done Clive - thoroughly deserved. You must of been over the moon.

When you looking at getting a very low 9 or high 8 then!!!!

 

Yeah, well done mate! You must be over the moon - you've finally done it! Awesome stuff.

 

Thanks chaps, I am absolutely delighted Plenty more to come yet, but the marker is down.
