Well done glenn, a lot of hard work paying off. 10's arn't far away :)
The best of it is, that is with half the amount of nitrous it ran last year ! The new engine is performing better than we could have hoped for.

One word..BOOM! :cool:
Good darts :agree: :cool:
That's for all you F4R's, Fp7's B18's out there. ;)
Good luck for today, so close to running a 10 now, awesome to what can be done with the C1J with a little experimenting
Awesome effort mate. Good luck for today. :agree:
:D Thats awesome!
Well done fingers crossed for 10s :-D
Awesome stuff!
Well done fella, that's f'ing quick!
Today would have been an eye opening day for the C1J lovers out there. Glenn put in a fantastic launch in qualifying with a little more power than yesterday making a 1.6 60' and 103mph at the 1/8 only to drop a valve flat shifting from 3rd to 4th :crap: That would almost certainly have been a 10 second pass. What were the chances of that. It's never dropped a valve before and to do it on such a potentially great pass is a kick in the arse. But, if I know glenn, a buggered valve won't get in his way.
Check out the video. It's only qualifying so pay no attention to the reaction time. He's racing James hodson, ex UK FWD champion, mid 10sec 20v turbo + nitrous car. Watch glenn real him in mid track!! James ran a 10.9 on that run and glenn was making ground on him, so maybe a 10.8 might have been on the cards.

:( What a pisser! Pesky valve collets:crap:
**** luck!!:crap:
Scoff, where did the valve fail at the collet end or the head end?
Dunno matt, he's not pulled it in bits yet. As rob says, should be worth measuring incase it's trying to pull the heads off the other valves too.
Thats real shame, did watch that vid and realise he wasn't only staying with James but actually powering past him, can spot when valve drop happened too which is real downer as did look like the magic run. ;)
Good going anyway lads, looks like the new spec is certainly working in the right direction. :)
Any ideas as to why it dropped?
**** times, is it an easy fix as in stock valves and head or is all that lot custom?
Yes, the old cam from my last C1J. That and a couple of other engine changes have really made it breath.Quote:

When you say flat shift you mean no clutch?
Flat on gas pedal or not lifting off it when changing gear...?Quote:

Not to sure about the golf rear spoiler. :wasntme:
Hope you guys get it back together soon and rock the pod with a 10SQM C1J :smokin:

Glenn will get it back together in no time. I think he was more pleased that his new gearbox setup and clutch worked well. :)
Thats mint, 11.4 seconds with a dropped valve!
Rotten luck - shows its going to be possible to do on that setup tho!
its quite common place in the honda world to drop a valve, they say heavy springs stretch the valves, and if you get them hot enough they fail. may be worth pulling a few valves out and measuring see if they any longer...
good job anyway guys, 103mph 1/8th is spot on for a high 10 :)
For comparison my 144mph runs had 110mph at the 1/8th, so the C1J isn't a million miles off.
Rob, good advice :)
i thought when they made valves, they welded the tulip onto the stalk. with the stronger springs they have more stress on them - more likely to break?
you make c1j so good i have big respect for you man :agree:
Hard luck Chap - soooooooo close.
In the words of the Fast and the Furious
"Monica......................................Noooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"
Maybe at the Frog??
Now that would be something, got me fingers crossed for you.
Stotty.
Correct, they are fused together, there is also different materials of stems out there.Quote:

what a run, makes me wanna stick with the c1j :eek:
better luck next time Glen, I can almost smell a 10sec pass there :agree:
smell a 10 no problem son car is nearlly done warning to people using metro turbo valves in there head dont there **** :D:D:D:D:D:Dcarnt take a little power :crap:
Did you use standard metro turbo valves or some aftermarket ones? The standards are two piece and have been known to break!
I know the mini will never hit a 10 but interesting to know. Awesome times as well good to see your car get faster every year.

sodium filled ones pal should have been ok but sadly notQuote:

:agree: when are you running next?
swift work mate, you dont hang around! :)
you got that 6262 billet on it? that would make the numbers alright :D
Thats the game mate, are you down at york this weekend??
I was just looking for the smallest Billet turbo they do the other day. lol :wasntme:Quote:

The turbo specification remains the same, but bits of dead valve had smashed some blades off the turbine wheel so it needed changing. 6262, yeah right ;)
good good :)
you know injector dynamics (bosch to you and me) do 725cc injectors now aswell,
all the cool kids are on high pressure fuel systems now :)
what's high pressure?Quote:

yeah thats about the going rate, and ideally you need to match them up with the bosch 044 pump which can sustain a high pressure supply, (with a suitable high pressure regulator).
not opened it yet will do at some point thanks anywayQuote:
