nice one Simon, some target that mr.forest has set...............

 

I wasnt aware of the class structure.. when I registered and was asked what class, I said no idea how are they set out.. and explained what the car was and they said class C and I was given number C67.. late on the sunday someone came around and said I was running tyres that werent in class C.. I didnt really care and wasnt going to get into arguing it so just said change my class then.. so they then gave me D3 as number.. they were on the list and were class c tyres.. obviously someone in class c wasnt happy I was beating them?
I just didnt see wasting my time arguing when my own goal at that time was a 9sec run..

which never came as I broke the gearbox.. oops

Oh dear, didn't know the box stopped play. I assumed something had thrown its toys out as your car didn't update from the 10.4 run.

Oh well, proper box it is

 

not 100% sure if I stripped 1st or its a selector issue.. it wont now go in 1st..

was a couple of odd noises when I put the car away today..

launched and I was on the limiter all of a sudden.. seemed like wheel spin.. went for 2nd and it wouldnt go into 2nd.. but then my foot was on the floor and it was banging off the limiter lol.. as I was flat shifting..

Side note : Cal switch working, poor connection.

 

couple of vids, amazing how much you learn from them, it felt like I was putting lots of heat in the tyres but clearly I wasnt..

vid links arent right mate

 

fixed

 

662 @ hubs - was at 1.4bar on vpower and is roughly 800 at flywheel.. altered the map via datalogs on the strip for 20% meth and vpower and 1.6bar and felt considerably quicker

 

Sweet

 

What box were you using Si?

 

wr1 6spd with the longer forester gearing fitted

 

Is that on borrowed time? lol

 

I thought the 6speeds were practically impenetrable?

 

I stripped 3rd gear in my early 6 speed at 460lbft!! Simon is running a little more torque than that.

 

I appear to have stripped teeth off first

 

i.m guessing they weren't really designed for 700ft/lbs ish..........

 

I was considering turning power down in lower gears as I think it would have been quicker but it was great fun snaking off the line

 

lol. How to chew a WR1 box up! Nice work!

 

after digging the car out of its hiding place and bringing it home for a wash, impressed with race battery - started first time and not been touched for four weeks.

Morrettes with middle lens removed at totb

new graphics which were added just before totb


the you cant miss it rev counter and Toucan display also added just before totb

I love this car!

 

Nice

 

me too, despite it trying to kill me several times, takes all my money and tries to get my divorced but hey.

Was always told to spend my money on drink, women, cars and waste the rest

Simon

 

Like!

 

I was always told if its got t1ts or tyres, its going to be trouble lol

 

deffo

 

just watched a few of your vids launching ....mental ,any passenger should claim for whiplash from you lol

 

lol

 

Trailered the car over to stew @ tfs racing and back last week and we removed the gearbox I broke at totb.
Some metal on the drain plug so definately stripped first gear I guess.
Awaiting a hawkeye gearset arriving to build it back up.

While there the exhaust system was redone to exit the rear of the car.
The side exits did their job and were quiet measuring 88db at totb although that was with down turned tailpipes, they didnt believe it could be that quiet and remeasured with the mic nearer and said 92 and 94db.
The problem with the side exists has always been extraction on the dyno.
So set stew the task of making them exit at the rear bumper.
Rather pleased with the results.
