had the mispleasure of talking to a evo7faq300 owner and have to say what a bullsh*tter

i made the mistake of saying is this yours and suddenly i get a motormouth going on about his evo would woop any scoob loads have tried and loads have failed

and that his evo did a 11.6 124mph 1/4mile at this i get a word in at last and say what have you done to it and he sais it is a bog standard faq300 at which i say no way this is bullsh*t that has to have 400bhp+ but he wouldn`t have it

now my scoob did a 13.1 1/4mile 2 weeks ago on the hottest day ever and there was a evo8faq300 the best he could do was 13.7 so come on what is this guy on or am i the bullsh*tter

oh by the way obviously not all evo drivers are dicks there are just as many scoob bullsh*tters

 

Andy F's type RA only got 127mph and in the 11 sec area with over 430bhp so its deffo a load of bs

Every quarter mile meet I go to there is a dozen or more people there who stretch the truth. "It does 11 seconds mate at 120mph". Yeah! OK! Whatever you think mate.

Its a shame that people feel the need to lie.

My Dad's bigger than your Dad. So nerr!

 

Simple answer "Show me the timing slip"

A standard FQ300 will do a low 13 at best.

 

Exactly.

"Oh the timing slip fell out of my window and got eaten by an aardvark".

At a couple i've been to you don't get slips, so its easy to get confused and knock 3 seconds off the time!

 

i am glad u lot agree with me what he also said was that sti7s have been wooped with and without ppp but what really made him a dick was when he said he had done a 11.6 i said he must of been in the 120s at which he said yeh 120 something 124 thats it now if you had done such an amazing run your time and speed would be engaved in your head

what i should of said was how about meeting up and seeing whos is fastest at which he probably would of said oh i am in a bit of a hurry bye

 

Hey I remember you!

Yours is a Mica Blue UK spec with TEK 2 (or was it 3 - but awaiting set up as it wasn't running right?) A custom air intake and a set of 18" speedlines etc

You ran that 13.1 1/4 mile at USC on the Sunday yeah!?!?!

Nice car!

The owner of the FQ300 sounds like a bit of a chump! Not content that his car is just plain fast anyway - he feels the need to claim these figures !!

I'd like to put him up against Ian Litchfield in his Spec C (hehehe) he probably wouldn't be so confident then!! Not after witnessing the car perfom on the Supercar Rally Day at Castle Coombe last Saturday 325 BHP standard (+ custom Exhaust = 330+) proven 0-60 in 4.2 and is as quick around some French race track as a Pagini Zonda

 

v techland thanks for the kind words about my scoob nope i havn`t had it rolling roaded yet i am waiting for the front mount

 

oh looks like your goin same route as me x 500dby just bought a hks fmic! just waitin for my p1 engine after mine went bang! should be some fun with mine in as i already had a 12.9 1/4 out of her only runnin 257bhp and p1 gearbox! hopefully see ya about soon!

scooby57 where did you do that 12.9 i did my 13.1 at the usc at the pod on that hottest sunday ever and as far as i could see i was the fastest 2.0 4wheel drive turbo car there including escort cossies sunny gtrs loads of other scoobs evos and 4 wheel drive cossie saphires and i am running app. 320bhp so to get 12.9 from 257bhp that is amazing and i will have to run there

 

Yep def talking through his rear end. Its mathematics of power per ratio and few other bits n bobs, I've had people quoting really silly 1/4mile figures to me, and I personally just laugh at them if they are that far out. I have a theory spreadsheet and I'm usually pretty close.

You should of said he would struggle to get into the very high 12s and "demand" a race at Santapod or York. Or put him up against a car that really does do 11.6 at 120odd and he'll know about it!

 

I'm pretty sure a P1 ran a 13.1 on the saturday at USC, I managed a 13.3 in those conditions. Looking forward to the jap meet in october, hopefully with a more cooler climate.
As for the evo, if you see him ask him along to put up or shut up.

simb was you there on the sunday as that was the day i was there so i cant comment on who did what on the saturday but on the sunday a green uk did a 13.3 was that yours

 

the evo driver is fibbing a bit me think i have a 350 bhp evo 6 tommy and the best i could manage was a 12/4 at the pod so i hardly think an fq300 will do 11s

 

X Scooby, I was in a blue Type R, only did 1 run on the sunday, they seemed to **** up the organisation of the strip on the sunday, you had to wait over an hour to do your run. I did 3 runs each on the friday and saturday and you were only waiting 10 - 15 mins for your run. Hopefully see you all there next year, will be trying to arrange club parking for scoobynetters if anybody's intrested.

i did mine at woodbridge airfield on a top speed challenge day! then carriedon down the airfield to see wot top speed ya can get! only managed 136 in the 1.3 mile airfield!
