today at santa pod well done pal shame about the weather 8mph head winds getting closer to that 9 next year for sure i will get vids done tommorrow
Thats getting ever so close now, sure to crack it soon.
Terminals looking good too, heard he hit another 148mph again today.
You not run today Glen mate?
no paltook a stilh saw to mine lol
Oooops! Lol!Originally Posted by Hi 5
no palYou started the reshell then?
yes pal didn,t make enough power on dyno so started doing the new mods and reshell so might start a new thread on buildOooops! Lol!
Thats cool mate, if you got a few more mods may aswell bring the reshell forward alittle bit and have it new and fresh for next year.
good work, new drive shafts and hubs held up then? I guess thats the main thing
well done to scoff, all being well on a good day them 9's will be in.
Reshelling hey , i hope its into another white one, is the bodykit etc going to transfer over as to not create a completely new identity.
I was going to come up around lunch time with carcrash,logg,dan and robbie (turbo ted) as I think he was running today...however I was short of cash and had to wait around for someone who owes me money for my motocross bike I sold. Funny thing is I've been in a local pub this eve and overheard 2 young lads talking to there friends about being at pod today....
Only to hear them talk about scoffs 5they were saying how quick it was and that they had no idea what was under the bonnet but in there words " that black gt turbo was an absolute animal, we can't work out what/why it was so quick"....I could of put them to rest tonight but thought sod it...
total different new year new start i only built the white one to do a 13,s quater and look what happened lol
cheers lads, was a good day really apart from the mental head wind all day. I was waiting till 6pm or so for the air to cool a bit more, then the wind died down and I went for a final run only to be told they had just shut the track ! No mention of an early close in the racers newsletter and I'd just got some good settings on the car that ment 1st and 2nd gear were blinding but I didn't get chance to do a full pass with full throttle shifts.
shafts and hubs were 100%, really pleased with the conversion. I was getting some huge grip in 1st which would have certainly broke the GT shafts. I was able to dial out lots of power in 1st gear which I didn't dare do before (less power stops wheel spin which makes for a better 60' but loads the shafts up even more of course). The new speed-based shift light is working well, I was able to get the 1st to 2nd shift bang on. 4.4 sec 330 which I was pleased with. Head wind screwing things up a bit at the top of the track but still a pair of 10.1's.
I ran the incar camera too for a laugh, only to find it didn't record a single run
Older members will remember james willday, ex white R5 EP customer, ran his PB of 9.2 @ 149 today in his big spec RX7. The run after he stuffed the back quarter in to the wall but in true willday fashion laughed it off. Was good to catch up with him.
Blinding, what's the uk record stand at?
recently tumbled again, 9.76, CPL racing
hehe , so long as its as edgy as the white 1 then all is good, got to see that thing perform plenty of times
really good result there chris
great news mate, well done! glad to see the conversion works well
i can imagine your looking to forward to fitting a shute
what sort of boost you down too down then in 1st gear? shows how important dialing in is now.
you heard miller just went 147mph @ 1/8th testing new setup ready for the big race nov 6th!
cheers rob, yes it's all in the fine tune as you well know
Minimum boost is 1 bar, so it runs that in 1st, which is still way too much so I pull a lot of timing too, but only in 1st gear. They joys of having a clever ECU
I thought miller was going NA ! 147mph, what the hell are we even bothering for !!
chris are you running today? or is that it for this wkend
Well done Chris, at least you know it's there for when you get that perfect day.
Did Robbie run at all ?
Well done Mr scoff
Robbie didn't run yesterday but should be today.
Well truth be told I think it would take a perfect day and then it might just be 9.9 so funds allowing I'll make the upgrades I need to make over winter and hopefully it will do it a bit more comfortably next year.
No more running this weekend for me, saturday was demonstrators only (invites to race classes, demo cars etc) so robbie couldn't run but he's racing today, hopefully track is good for him.
All sounds very promising Chris - can't wait for next year to roll on. Glad the hubs/shafts held up.
hehe getting closer to that 9 scoff lad! loving the 148!...shame you couldn't get the last run in at full power but can't wait to see an all out run will be awsome...can't wait to see Glenns also!
recently tumbled again, 9.76, CPL racing
Yep 9.7 after flying "Tony t1 race" over from the states to map his car for him, and even then it blew up after the run.
I wouldn't worry now with your shafts sorted and your super heavy duty box, I would think you could go rounds with cpl and take the win
Well done
thanks glenn for the video coverage
First propper run, slight lift in 1st because it started to spin

Following run, slight tweeks, better 330' but overreved 3rd gear, poorer trap speed

Amazing times Chris well done
hats off to ya chris....
didn't even get one run today due to snapping drivers side driveshaft in my burnout at 10am.fixed it with another one got back in the que for 11am with all the chavs then it started rain so they shut track, got pissed off and left at 1.30pm the track was still shut and the que was full with chavs all the way passed the cafe,never going to a rwyb on sunday its a chav festival.Well done Mr scoff
Robbie didn't run yesterday but should be today.
