Just looking back, they are stunning times, but largely due to the 60ft time :eek:, very consistant. Back when mine was running low 12's, my 60ft's wer 1.9+

Thanks mate. Am using a 4.2kg flywheel so it can be fussy to launch. Yesterday I just couldn't get the wheels to spin enough and it just kept bogging. Sunday it could have launched like that all day long. 1.6s 60ft should be possible. What were the quickest times on yours btw? Still room for improvement so watch this space :) Bob |

Where did you run that time btw? Have you completed your TOTB squad yet? Bob |
Just a quick update of yesterdays RWYB @ Santa Pod.
Managed a 12.09secs@114mph :) Will post full details tomorrow. |
Finally get around to doing the tedious task of posting full details:
Quite a warm day at the Pod. Got there at around midday and met up with Tas. Run 1: (good clean run) Reaction: 2.175 60ft: 1.729 330ft: 5.018 660ftMPH: 89.28 660ft: 7.748 990ft: 10.045 1/4 ET: 12.097 1/4MPH 114.24 Run 2: (car pulled to one side so had to back off) Reaction: 1.668 60ft: 1.985 330ft: 5.392 660ftMPH: 88.27 660ft: 8.129 990ft: 10.434 1/4 ET: 12.485 1/4MPH 114.56 Run 3: (heads-up against this http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y4/...B/STA50001.jpg) Reaction: 0.407 60ft: 1.897 330ft: 5.244 660ftMPH: 88.73 660ft: 7.968 990ft: 10.266 1/4 ET: 12.321 1/4MPH 113.64 (win by 0.76) Run 4: (v Tas) Reaction: 0.372 60ft: 1.919 330ft: 5.361 660ftMPH: 87.34 660ft: 8.127 990ft: 10.44 1/4 ET: 12.514 1/4MPH 113.57 Run 5: (missed 2 gears so aborted run Reaction: 2.051 60ft: 1.806 330ft: 5.522 660ftMPH: 88.05 660ft: 8.334 990ft: 10.676 1/4 ET: 12.755 1/4MPH 112.18 Was aiming for 12.1secs@115mph so I am very pleased with the results :D. Changing shift points, as AndyF suggested has helped alot, particularly noticeable on the terminals :thumb: My personal bests have now gone (in day order) 12.49@110mph (santa pod), 12.21@111mph (Avon Raceway) to 12.09@114mph (Santa Pod). 60ft wasnt 'perfect' so I still feel there is a little more room for improvement. :norty: Quickest car on UK internals? Very happy with the car. No tweaks ever needed since it was mapped and no raceday tweaks to boost or ignition. Bob |
hi bob im tas' missus.
were the videos any good or did i do crap??? |
Hi Kim.
Vids were crap. Only kidding ;) A couple were okay but its the camera that was crap and not the operator :) Will take it back to the shop and get a proper camcorder methinks. Bob |
lol cheeky!
u should have just bought the camcorder in the 1st place. are u coming jap show at the pod this weekend? i think tas wants to take it to try and get his time down! |
I know, I know. Just trying to be a tight git I suppose ;)
Wont be able to come to JapShow unfortunately as I have a wedding to attend. Tas got v respectable times and I'm sure he'll improve on them. He just needs to resist heads-up temptation. You going to have a go down the strip this time? :norty: |
i will give it a go i think. have only done it once before so im a bit scared!!!
i have gotta get used to the paddle clutch 1st else i will probably just stall it :( |
I'm sure you'll be fine. Be funny if you get a faster time out of it than Tas ;)
|
lol! i think he would wanna sell the car if that happened!!
im not a bad little driver though ;) |
looks like the track did it's usual trick of getting less and less grippy as the day wore on, all very familiar at the Pod on rwyb days I'm afraid.
Cool start to the day seemed to help too, as your power dropped off during the day. |
1st run was after midday.
60ft: 1.729 330ft: 5.018 660ftMPH: 89.28 660ft: 7.748 990ft: 10.045 1/4 ET: 12.097 1/4MPH 114.24 Best at Avon Raceway: 60ft: 1.701 330ft: 5.043 660ftMPH: 91.07 660ft: 7.783 990ft: 10.123 1/4 ET: 12.210 1/4MPH 111.77 All on the same spec. Avon Raceway wasnt cool either though. Was shifting earlier at Pod whereas I was shifting later at Avon. Quicker/earlier gearchange into 2nd gear too at the run at Pod. The surface at Pod wasnt as consistant as Avon Raceway. Still think there's a little to be had off the time. Bob |
heat build up in the engine while queueing doesn't help.
|
Paul: How much do you reckon I can shave off the time?
|
Bob just looked at your 660ft MPH....that looks a little weird to me, what about you?
you were 2mph slower, yet crossed the line 3mph faster....? |

|

Neil: I was shifting around 6500rpm. Your shift point will depend on your turbo and where you are making power.
Kev: Cheers mate. Come down to North Weald for sprinting next month? Paul: Wel I cant increase the power or anything, its on one map which is my everyday road map. Can save some weight on a alu bonnet and lightweight battery I guess. Not sure if it will be significant enough though. I know I can launch a 60ft 0.028sec quicker as it is. Bob |
weight reduction will do it easy.....
yeah me saying ill shift at 6k is on the 3rd to 4th in my car because i dont think theres benefit after that. My rev limit is set at 6750 anyway. |
I dont know about easy mate. Can't be arsed to do anything more than the battery and bonnet.
Cant believe I'm chasing 11s now :eek: Was happy when I finished the upgrades, to run anything in high 12s, knowing that 12.5secs 'might' have been possible. Does it ever end? |
No, it doesnt.
Tyre pressures? |
