Going to Elvington tomorrow for the RWYB event. Going to give the car a chance to see what it and I can do.

1st time ever at a "track/drag" day, so have absolutely no clue as to how i will do.

Hope to get a reasonable quarter and a reasonable top speed, then i will be happy

Wish me luck

Steven

Jolly good luck, old bean!

 

P20 , are you or is someone else going to be filming at all ? ... would be great to see some clips of the motor in action.

brett

 

Im planning on taking my digi camera, which can take short AVI clips but with no sound.

I'll try to get a few

 

Well, that was fun

Clutch now well and truly dead, well, actors style death roll, still left in it.

Driving home was hard.

Steven

 

And your best time?

pictures?

come on, show us what you got...

 

P20,

so you got 12.9s with a stuffed clutch - excellent!

What was the fastest Scoob on the day - there were a few there?

Rannoch

 

 

David Wallis should post up some videos later, i hope

Can still smell burnt clutch

Nice to meet everyone, sorry if i did not say hello to anyone

Steven

 

looks like 4K is about the right launch rpms, probably around max torque point. Some good consistent time there, not surpriesd the clutch has gone after 11 runs .

 

Think i could have done better (i know, easy to say) had i not killed the clutch. Most were top speed runs, although i did not get speeds for all.

I think the height of the car played a factor in the speed too. Could not adjust the coilovers to lower it. They have seized.

Will post pics tomorrow when turbosport is working.

Steven

 

Lol..

I have videos.. but will be a couple of days.. unless steven bugs me to do them after work one night...

 

sorry I had to shoot, boy wasnt well (he **** his pants and it WAS mothers day (and the mrs wasnt really THAT interested anyway )

I got one very low quality avi of the wagon blasting off with a Skyline on the far side. Bit crappy, no sound, but here's the link anyway...

here

This was the very first run he did.

Harvey (wagon)had done a 12.5s 112mph 1/4 and 159mph in 1.2miles when i left at 3pm, dont know as yet if he beat that?

Good time Steve.

So you got 12.9 with 340 plus and Harvey got 12.5 with IIRC 477!

So the question is how much power do you need to be really fast? Or is Harvey taking it easy?

F

 

Harvey wasnt taking it easy

 

Having said that, i think Harveys car will pull 120+ in 3rd, so gearing could have an effect.

 

Paul, cheers for the link, cool, my first ever run. I nearly soiled my underwear on my 4th run.

1st gear, ooo red line, ooo going nowhere
2nd gear, ooo red line, klind of moving

 

A few pics


















I have a few more, but turbosport is playing up.

 

dont know how that big file got past turbo sport

 

others cheers David

 

Baby seat in the back and a dog guard! ROTFLMAO! Brilliant! That must *really* have rubbed it in for the slower brigade

Would have loved to have been there, but I would have been killed using a slow and painful method. Both sets of parents, plus brother in law and sister in law in law, and sister in law in law's Mum were visiting, and I was barbecuing.

Sounds like you had the better day

 

Great laugh Nick. You should have been there!

I think my 4th run was the funniest for on lookers. Harvey thought i had possibly done something to the engine, but it was the clutch.

You should have seen David's face when Emma said to me " well if you clutch is dying, you might as well kill it"

I tried to kill it properly, but i could not launch properly, and had to get home.

I had baby seat, dog guard, baby supplies (tom was spectating), spanners and screwdrivers in the boot.

Much fun.

Steven

 

Utter confusion and sudden realisation why you married her were probably the expressions on David's face. I can see it now

Lunch?

 

Funniest moment, Tom tried on my bike helmet, and instantly had everyone laughing, due to his head constantly banging the floor, whilst his feet were also touching the floor


Lunch sounds good

 

aaaawwwww.. bless


Who's was the silver scoob with the black windows? Ive got 6 more of those AVI's at home, one of the silver/blak scoob v the red wagon (not yours, the OTHER red one) and a few others of some of what must have been the TTS lot, including the silver one with the lexus clusters, eating the white Evo (or so it appeared)

I'll link to them if anyone is interested.
