Then in the knock out rounds he pulls a 10.7 @ 144mph! Showing its got more power in there somewhere!:D
Was really pulling, hard to believe a 5 could go like that.
Toomy B did well today, upping the nitrous abit on his saw a 12.1 @ 110mph.:agree:
Backyard boys were doing well in there Civic, not quite hit the 10's yet bit still going well in the HKS series

next time I saw him, he was had one of the quickest C1J's going
now having seen him squeeze a vag lump in a 5 and do this time with an f engine
he's just AMAZING!
(plus he proved his car CAN go around corners on a welsh mountain!! there's a VID somewhere to proove it!!!!)
Chris buddy! well done!
i want to see vids of this car
that is absolutley awsome!! I just can't believe what that engine and you are capable of! well done :agree: and I bet your response is "and there's more to come..." :laugh:
Well done Chris, hope the car holds together for the pod day.
Not just crept into the 10's either & still more to come by the looks of it !!
Awesome :agree:
Nice one Scoffmeister...you've not just moved the goalposts..you've smashed them to pieces!!! :laugh:
Nice to show those Jap boys they're not the only ones who can do it :agree:
:eek: Brilliant work, :agree::)
That's a giant leap forward, brilliant result! :niceone:
Big Congrats Chris, stunning performance!
Your reaction to me telling you about the 141mph was priceless.
:agree:
absolute awesome i knew chris was goin smash the record this year, i reckon this can hit the low 10s.
:niceone: that is fast, stomach turner.... :cool:
i wana see video of it see hes 11 something run that was fast
I'm jut trying to think if anyone did get any vids of the run.Quote:

i seen that i mean new one i know its bit early but someone might have uploaded one
nice one scoff!!:agree:
Just looking at bugatti veyron Standing 1/4-mile: 10.8 sec @ 140 mph.
Dont know how accurate the times are. but jezz :smokin: shows how fast Chris's car really is.
:cool::cool::cool::cool: Well done.
my thoughts exactly
:yeah: Well done Scoff! Truely awsome! :burnrubber::cylon:
:agree::agree::agree:
hey, thanks for the words guys :agree:
it was a long time comming as a few of you know, so more a relief than anything else.
the engine had been capable of a 10sec pass for while already but the rest of the system (gear ratio's, synchro's, other bits and bats) were causing a headache. the new gearbox build finally seemed to work well, only missing 2nd gear once in the knock-out round against James Hodson (10sec VW golf, ex FWD champion). I would have had him otherwise :D Reeled him in once it came up on song at the end of the track. Missing that gear was the end of my ESC round but not after 5 runs - the first 2 with a phantom rev limit @ 6500rpm which turned out to be the launch control intermittently activating while on the move. I ran the rest of the day with launch control disconnected and still managed a 1.67 and 1.68 60's in my last 2 runs of the day.
Pretty happy with the 144mph trap, with a heavier car too now. I had expected a best some 6-7mph slower than that.
The engine has a slight missfire at the top of the track that I need to resolve, it could be that I'm blowing the spark out at high boost or that the injectors are falling over at high duty. unsure, but I can work on that for next time.
Big thanks to glenn Hi5 and andy speck who came along as pit crew and helped immensly throught the day.
Finally, big well done to tommy b also, 12.1 from a standard T2 ! W.T.F !! :agree:
Glenn left his camera with me, I'll see about uploading some vids.
very well done mate:)
s*** the bed thats fast..... :worship::worship::worship::worship::worship:
Fooking brill to watch that run today, awsome, gain 1 mph and your sat in a 9second car... after whats gone on these last few weeks chuffed its worked out for you fella... :agree: Got a great vid will get up later..
As for our car, same old story, fitted parts friday night, no proper tuning, no dyno time.. best run of the day was 11.3 @124mph, blow the gearbox on the line too, still came away runner up with a trophy and the cash tho.... yayyyy which i can blow on new parts..:) really need to spend time dialing the car before events, getting no where and going backwards.:crap:
Well done!!!!!! :worship:
Good work Chris! :eek:
nice work. very good time :cool:
Well done fella. :agree: about time things went your way for once.:cool:
Well done Chris nice to see all the hard works paid off mate :)
Nice one Rob, I'm sure you'll get there soon mateQuote:

Scoff, that is just amazing. Serious congratulations. You'll never meet a more down to earth, modest guy than Chris. Your hard work and has been long overdue a result like this. There is definately more to come.:worship:
For now you deserve a :beer:or three.
Very impressive scoff, well done.
Will you be in the 9s for the pod day at the end of the month?
What time have you run on treads?

Congrats to Scoff!!!!
Fastest 5 ive been in was Mr Griers, bet this one is like that on speed.
Scoff is already the the top anyway, he's broken his own and everyone elses records :agree:
To go from a 10.6 in to 9s is some work, its alot easier to go from say a 12-11.. Im sure scoff can put this car in to a 9 one day... Id love it to be the first FWD car in to tha 9`s that would be awsome..... :agree:Quote:

:D
scoffs off to sort out a few red bulls next weekend :laugh::laugh:
note the timming board at the end scoff would have had the f1 car :agree:
traction bars are always in place but traction control failed on the day so launching was a bit harder the old fashioned way.
yerr yerr your always full exuses :pQuote:

A massive well done scoff! You have put alot of time and effort into the car and im well pleased for ya! you certainly deserve it.:)
IMPRESSIVE!!! Well done sir. Ive been in a couple of 20vt golf mk2s and been very impressed with them, in terms of power and reliability i dont think you can beat them. About time someone showed what renault owners are capable of!!:agree: Awesome engine and will show what renault engines can do!!
God damn man, I was thinkin your car could just dip into the 10s but to get a 10.6 is a big thing dude, awesome work bud, remind me at pod day to get you a beer :beer:
Whats the next stage then? get your launch control working properly and give it another blast?
:agree::burnrubber:
All the time and effort you've put into your car you deserve to be in the 10s well done fella
Just read this ....congrats scoff :cool: it must go like **** off a shovel :smokin::smokin:
awesome news, is there a good chacne we will see these kinda of times at frog of the pod!!
p.s ive got some good vids of scoffs runs, from very close up ( i was stood behind the car on the track :) ) but there in some silly .mod format that youtube doesnt want to take, anyone know how to change them? (its from a jvc everio camcorder) i found a converter online, but it puts a silly watermark over the vids :(
I'll hold you to that beer you know ;)Quote:

The runs are very poor technically as any real racer who watches the video's will be quick to spot. First time out, new engine and a new race series to get my head around so decided to cut myself a little slack!
well done scoff, where did you find the extra power/speed from?:agree:
K-Tec :DQuote:

:laugh:
trial and error as always :cool:Quote:

Really well done scoff! Cant believe the 10.7 run as the car sounded as if it bogged going into second gear! Cant wait to see the future progrssions of this car :agree:
Wow! Awesome car! :agree:
Well done that's ace
You sell yourself very short with that statement.Quote:

Well done Chris ,job well done:)
You not going to 'pod next Friday Al? Hopefully Chris will be there banging in a few more good runs.Quote:

well done that man!!!
Hi Alex, next round of eurosports is at the Retro show, then USC (ughh..) so mechanical failure aside I should be at both :)Quote:

Chris, you're messing up my head something rotten with your F-series tuning, as I'm swaying even more towards outing the Jap taxi, buying a 172/182, cheeky turbo conversion, and having fun on track in that instead. God damn you! :laugh:
Blimey, well done Scoff
The key is the gearbox, that always was, and still is the major hurdle to overcome. Scoff might be interested in swapping the Tokyo Taxi for a gearbox conversion....Quote:

It's tempting mate, very.
Hmmm, PM for ya...
i know ultimate street chav is your favourite event if it wasn't for the queues, thats why you've sussed it for this year and your taking part in the compaq lolQuote:

but we raced the TDI north car on 1 race, he ran 10.5 i think, so close to your ET, but with 138mph, he also pulled 1.6x 60ft as you do, but i did notice he was at 114mph 1/8th`s, you can compare the slip in full if you want it, might find some usefull data
Now this is what I need :)Quote:

Holy freakin shamoly!!! I lost the net for one week and Scoff is tearing up the Santa Pod tarmac! Well done mate very well deserved.
It would seem from your comments that she's got a bit more in her yet........:eek:

Bloody hell.
You can really see how much of an animal the car is on the launches...then it just rockets into the distance :eek:
Good work Rob :D :agree:
i like the 1st one, dont think he was expecting the torque steer, nearly has him in the other lane :laugh:
those rear wheels offend me :D
Thanks Chris. I'll try Retro show, not sure I could face USC but that depends on who else might go for the day.;)Quote:

Peak power comes up @ about 8krpm so you can see it was a bit of a problem. The burnout on the last video was me trying to get the box into 2nd to really heat the tyres up but it just wouldn't have it. I gave up trying.
Andy, tyres, yes I was concerned my skinny wheels would not pass scruiteneering because of the speed rating. They weigh a tonne those things, I need some real skinny rear wheels. The supplier of my drag wheels still does not have any matching rears in stock after 6 months of asking :crap:
sorry dude, that was all i managed to get, was a bit busy ;)Quote:
