yeah the launcgh is the key thing!


haha scotty its a complete animal. not spoken to the driver but seen it at a few events. on a proper show day then the track is grippy hes into the 10s

its just the fact he rolls up. changes his back wheels and puts a helmet on gives it death for a few hours. then swaps wheels and goes home

[cooper326]

Should be punching it straight up to 250bhp as mods and map all waiting in me garage already. However the mod i had planned that i mention earlier will have to be put on ice now....seriously cant afford it at the moment lol.

Id of loved to of gone but im away working in cyprus for a week then :bad-words:
Planning a trip to the ring this year though if ya fancy it :wtf:

[Darkhawk]

im ment to be going in april but had to drop out becasue everyone wanted to go amsterdam twice etc. if your going straight over spend day there, and a night and drive back a day later or something then yeah sure. cba with the costs of messing about. prob get 2-3 others to come aswell, when you feeling? need a good few months for everyone to save up

[cooper326]

Was planning a long weekend. So we leave on friday morning as takes most of the day to get there(approx 800 miles. Blast round the ring on saturday, chill out in the evening and then head back first thing sunday morning [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]

[Darkhawk]

110-115 at 3700 mate drive by comes up the same and max revs its 124,9

jtizzle will vouch for it being rather loud hahs

got a bung but not got round to trying it with it in

I can definitely vouch for this. It was loud as hell when you gave it death a couple of months back. I'm sure you temporarily deafened my poor passenger.

Car is looking good mate, what else is in the pipeline?

[Darkhawk]

Haha :p only just seen this

done a few lil bits since we last spoke nothing major

[A20NWK]

Sounds good. Any rough figures on the power/weight of the car yet?

Changing my red OEM wheels for some Rotas this week if possible. What you reckon? I'm thinking either Grids or Torques

[Darkhawk]

Lmao youve only just had them painted

[A20NWK]

I know haha. One day I like the red, the next I don't - best way to resolve this problem is to buy new wheels

[pulpmelon_r]

I found the sweet spot for launching on street tyres to be around 2.6 - 2.7k rpm, You want the LC disabling after 2mph - 5mph is much too high IMO

Do you guys burn out first?

[Darkhawk]

Yeah thats what.im.planning to launch at

i do sometimes depends how.i feel

[Darkhawk]

O and i ran at fast show

14.4 @101 with a terrible launch every time

[Bower]

If you want to improve your time a fair bit drop the psi right down in the front tyres, I did when I ran at York last year and it helped me a hell of a lot and burnout ftw yank the handbrake on and get a nice burn out going
