some one must know?

 

pooper scoop

 

Keith has run a 9.4
Tim has just run a 9.96
and there is a scoob in the 9's

 

Be surprised if its not andy f

 

but has he the power of zen

 

its the haldour car whick got 9.93 secs, been told andy destroyed his centre diff on the handling course pavlo's car is 10.3 secs

 

zen car got 10.3

 

yea 10.3 @ 140mph

 

The guy is from Norway .roger clarke motorsport where preparing the car today .

 

The guy is not from Norway he is from Iceland!!

This is possibly a world record as the fastest 'known' manual car was the Rigoli boys with 10.02s

All respect.

Three Scoobs with 10s quarters and one with a 9s quarter - can't be bad

Evos won the team event though

Keith Cowie conquered all before him and finished with a 9.3s quarter at 160mph

HALDOR JONSSON's

 

and i shook the man by the hand and said very well done on a world record, and yes he was from iceland, but wherever he's from , what a fantastic time from a 2.0L engine. WELL DONE THAT MAN

 

How much has the engine spec changed since last year on gulli's car?

 

A lot!

 

Skylines wiped the floor as usual. Iceland car very sexy though.

 

i asked Matt Clark that question and he said what David just said!

Had a closer look and biggest change in visual terms is turning the Turbo 45 degrees away from normal position.

Turbo looks to be a bigger variety as a result.

Must be over 600bhp??

Not sure if they have a sequential/dog box in the car now though..but his gear changes were mucho faster than last year!

 

Is that the car that was in Japanese Performance a little while ago?

 

yeah they featured it after TOTB3!

 

Well done to Haldor, Matt and co at RCM and especially to the tuning guru bloke from Motec, (who is he ?) they really have that car flying now

Not my best day I'm afraid.

Only had the one 1/4m warm up run, started off on my std bridgestone road tyres with a 10.4 @ 140 then went across to the handling circuit and promptly broke both a front driveshaft and centre diff in one go

I was really looking forward to getting the soft slicks on like the others and giving it some real stick but that will need to be another day once I work out how to keep the drivetrain intact !

We could not believe you were out of the contest after seeing your first and only run, I have never seen another Impreza look so spectacular, ever! The whole start procedure where it looked like you had some kind of skyline set up able to burn only the rear tyres was new, how did you do it? then the full launch with all four tyres spinning as if you had an extra 400 bhp over last year and an easy 10.4 sec time to start off with! amazing, it really made my day seeing that, even more impressive than the 9.3 sec skyline for some reason. Got to say though after seeing that starting run and if you were putting a better set of wheels and tyres on to run after that, I think you would have been in the late nines and beating Haldors car in the process. What is the official bhp/torque figure for your car now? 700 bhp @ flywheel? 600 lbs torque? and now stripped out! Just sorry you only got the one run, better luck next time.

 

Nice to see the Imprezas improving so much this year.(In their times @ a second).
Perhaps next year. We will see Paddle shifts and driveshafts with a little more elasticity!

 

Cheers

I have the original DCCD which puts most power to the rear and I have a hydraulic handbrake on the front wheels. Nice for the burnouts

Not sure regards power as it has not been near a rolling road !
The AP22 performance meter that I use shows 520bhp at the wheels (before the nitrous)

Andy, how much nitrous are you using? Surely you got to be 700bhp to get near 10.4 even with stripped interior, box, legal slicks etc and nearly 750 to get 10.1secs, maybe even 800 for a 9 pass?......thats a lot of NOS on top of say 600hp?

When you think the RC evo couldn'et get quicker than a 10.2 with at least 930bhp, and some even say 1100bhp was quoted, it makes these scoobs unbelievable!

cheers

I just use a 50 shot of nitrous (on the rare occassions that it works !)
