SmokeEm Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 I for one can't wait for your 1st runs up the 1/4 so when & where is your 1st session? I really wanna be there as I'm sure many do.
4parajon Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 Think he has put his name down for the 1st trip to Santa Pod in April as part of the OSFDC, although I don't know if he has added his name for other rounds. Unless he comes on here and answers you, have a look in the OSFDC room
kevmk2 Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 He couldnt of picked a better day to do it, plenty of people there to see the 20 second run
RETRO_AL Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 I will come and help him sweep up his english axle when it goes pop
Guest MK1gaz Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 Yes going up on the 1st round of the OSFDC . Bring some ear plugs cos my cars engines got a fierce bark which bursts ear drums !!!!!!!!
kevmk2 Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 Yes going up on the 1st round of the OSFDC . Bring some ear plugs cos when my cars engine or axle goes pop it will burst your ear drums !!!!!!!!
Guest MK1gaz Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 He couldnt of picked a better day to do it, plenty of people there to see the 20 second run 13.5sec would be ace and would be the fastest ever "comfy" , no bits missing , N.A. with no gas , street legal 4 pot run
kevmk2 Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 Be nice to see it do a good 13 second quarter mate, i know i would be putting some 175.50.13 AO48's on it though, still street legal and look good too
spitbarnatt Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 Be nice to see it do a good 13 second quarter mate, i know i would be putting some 175.50.13 AO48's on it though, still street legal and look good too That's what I'm running. They are bloody good, especially when 'warm'
Guest MK1gaz Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 Yes i'm going to smoke the A539's away soon and get some A048's for sure Kev . I can only crawl of the line at low revs really so hoping to fly down the last 1/8 mile and make up some time when in 3rd and 4th gears . No point bothering with hard launches cos i have to drive it home afterwards
Guest MK1gaz Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 That's what I'm running. They are bloody good, especially when 'warm' Steve does yours hook up in 2nd gear with the 048's then mate ?
MK2Ed Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 13.5sec would be ace and would be the fastest ever "comfy" , no bits missing , N.A. with no gas , street legal 4 pot run I'm saying nothing (and not going to speculate on my time) but am also running a "comfy" , no bits missing , N.A. (45's) with no gas , street legal 4 pot run. Out of interest what BHP/torque figure did you record Gaz?
spitbarnatt Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 Steve does yours hook up in 2nd gear with the 048's then mate ? Yeah, seems to most of the time. Even gripped halfway through first the other day, after a little donuting to warm them up, dropped the clutch (don't know what revs, no tacho!) spun for a bit then gripped to the limiter.
Guest MK1gaz Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 Yeah, seems to most of the time. Even gripped halfway through first the other day, after a little donuting to warm them up, dropped the clutch (don't know what revs, no tacho!) spun for a bit then gripped to the limiter. blimey that's great news then . What halfshafts you got then steve and have you broken any ?
Guest MK1gaz Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 Out of interest what BHP/torque figure did you record Gaz? engine made 262 bhp 190ibls feet on webcons dyno in the last car and 212bhp 170ibls feet at Torque of the Devil in mine
Billy RS2000 Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 them tyres are the nuts didnt spin up at all on my 13.0 just bog down then went gaz you've got to get out of the gate to get good times
Guest MK1gaz Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 nice one Billy , i have a tran-x gearbox with a 2.48 first gear and a 4:1 diff so do you reckon the tyres will be good enough to handle a few more revs off the line then or shall i just 2500 rpm granny start like i normally do ?
spitbarnatt Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 blimey that's great news then . What halfshafts you got then steve and have you broken any ? English axel, 4.44 group 4 quife LSD, modified quaife Atlas shafts and endplates. All done by the previous owner. I've not done one yet but then I haven't really launched it that often in the time I've owned it.
harris horse power Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 I for one can't wait for your 1st runs up the 1/4 so when & where is your 1st session? I really wanna be there as I'm sure many do. i cant wait as well i think alot of people will be surpised i might run in your class for the 1st round gaz , so maybe we can line up together? i no i wnt stand a chance but would be cool

I should really buy the uprated fat shafts etc but won't until i brake a standard 1100L one first

Billy RS2000 Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 nice one Billy , i have a tran-x gearbox with a 2.48 first gear and a 4:1 diff so do you reckon the tyres will be good enough to handle a few more revs off the line then or shall i just 2500 rpm granny start like i normally do ? Ive got quaife 2.39 or 2.48 first i think cant remember exactly and used to have a 4:4 salisbury with standard shafts and launching off the line at 6000rpm spinning a little then hocking up and going how i never broke a shaft i dnt know. your engine maybe different to mine tho i find mine dnt pull hard until way up the rev range
Guest MK1gaz Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 Ive got quaife 2.39 or 2.48 first i think cant remember exactly and used to have a 4:4 salisbury with standard shafts and launching off the line at 6000rpm spinning a little then hocking up and going how i never broke a shaft i dnt know. your engine maybe different to mine tho i find mine dnt pull hard until way up the rev range My engines not peaky is got lots of mid-range grunt so hoping it can pull from lowish revs ok but won't know until i've tried it up there really . I might fit a 4:4 and try that one time but won't unless i really have to because my motorway cruising speed will drop down
spitbarnatt Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 Ok thanks Steve . I should really buy the uprated fat shafts etc but won't until i brake a standard 1100L one first Soon then? What tyres have you got at the moment?
Guest MK1gaz Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 I've got 175/50/13 A539 yokos at present Steve . I've hammered the arse out of them on every trip out and they're pretty good to be honest , they grip in 3rd ok but smoke like crazy in 2nd but good fun and cheap . My 1100 shafts have survived a fare bit of punishment so far and not broken so i'll keep trying !!!!!!!!
