what a weekend!
had a really good dice up with dan turbo man in same spec car as mine, his first run he ran a 12.87@106 on T1-R tyres, beating my 12.9 from october last year.
took me 3 attempts to get back in the running, laid a 12.83@113 on r888's
but weirdly i was seriously struggling for grip where as dan on the 'road' tyres was launching spot on everytime, his 60ft was down at 2.078, where as mine on best run was 2.275. but my car was hitting much higher terminals, pulling him back over the 1/4 which last year it wasnt, ran the same as dans did, 106 terminals? the only change i've made is lighter wheels and moved the charge cooler rad to where dan has his in the lower bumper!
we we're going to swap wheels and try each others tyres as i'm pretty convinced r888's seem to make no difference on the pd tarmac. on normal roads i launch and pull on dan everytime, but not at pod?
of course could simply be i'm ****e at pod and he's mint http://www.williamsclio.co.uk/forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif lol
now the bad news
dan popped his diff circlip so was out of action, and i've noticed large amounts of oil in my header tank............ http://www.williamsclio.co.uk/forum/images/smiles/icon_sad.gif http://www.williamsclio.co.uk/forum/images/smiles/icon_sad.gif
so i doubt i'm going to be in the clio for the north versus south on the 6th sept. will still be about at edition38 round the corner tho so will nip into pod see how everyone is doing! http://www.williamsclio.co.uk/forum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif
