Terminal was 107 on that run.
You can find details by just monitoring the events sections, in particular Northern. Watch out for posts by the 200plusclub.
Stickymicky, which car were you in?

LOL peccy, your reaction times were too good, and i was eating you in 3rd, shame i fluffed 3rd to 4th. When i went against you i got a 13.9 which was my slowest time of the day, by .4 of a second
SAM, i will better you yet, wait till the new clutch goes in, follwed by the water injection, new air filter and new inlet pipe (which i have to be quiet about
), then remap, and i will be aiming for 12.5 or less

Steve - Yada yada yada. My 110 mph run was set on a mere VF23 @ 1.4 bar, with the righthand front wheel spinning like a bugger in blistering hot weather.
That lurvley Modena diff, and a td05 running more boost (and no BOV) should make it an interesting run, as well as being able to rely on the gearbox.
So...
and a huge
/J - cheek, tongue, in - rearrange as you see fit

Still on standard original clutch. Car modified to about 250ish from day one and 6000 miles, about 270ish after 3 months and another 9000 miles, then 340ish for the last 15000 in 8 months
Trying to kill the clutch today,slipping big time in 3rd, 4th and 5th. A merc E270cdi pullled away from me in 3rd from 50 right upto 4th
, she is dieing, finally
Simon (JGM), where have you been?

Only running 1.25 mid range peaking to 1.3 at 6k, then tailing to 1.1 after
We will see. My next worry is the gearbox though? Probably why R19KET was smiling, when he saw my launches
Oh well, **** happens, just dont tell my wife.

I figure it is, shame my wallet is not as nice at the moment. Emma has a firm grasp on it, as we are supposed to be building an extension on the house.Steven

Steven,
I have been rather busy at work.. working until 1am and doing deliveries of software and crap.. glad I get paid overtime
Also work removed my internet access the bu99ers!
So been jumping into Drivetrain and on 22b for a bit at weekends and some evenings (on my P133 laptop.. slower than me even)
Clutch on my car is still slipping, I have a replacement and thanks to people on 22b the instructions on how the change it just need the time to do it. Weather has improved so I have halved my petrol bill by riding the motorcycle rather than driving the Scoob..
I am still weekly comuting etc..
I thought about emailing you the other day actually to catch up..
I used to laugh when people used to tell me they were too busy to read / reply to emails but I know how that feels now..
Weekends have been busy working on the house..
Speak to you later and hope that gearbox holds out
JGM
