http://www.brightonandhovemotorclub.co.uk/

Will do not planning on any record times as i have more to do and have v little time at least i have 5 gears now :)

atleast its not racing on the beach lol. I keep meaning to get my MSA licenese but just never get round to it


Will do not planning on any record times as i have more to do and have v little time at least i have 5 gears now :)
oh yeh, have you done anything to strengthen the new gearbox?

[jdavis]

Good luck Russ. Car's looking stunning mate.
looking at your group looks like you could be able to do a lot of upsetting.

[t5 pete]

Good luck with it russ hope the new gear box holds up for you.
Pete

[MIKESC70T5]

Good luck Russ

[danny-R]

i'd love to come down and watch this, but as usual i might aswell be a million miles away.

let us know if you plan to do anymore further north ie york. :)

cheers

[Chad]

seems like a plan to me.......

what type of figures you got in mind russ????

[S70T5Chris]

I will definately do my best to be there Russ. All dependant on the baby!

I also see Hamish is there in the Jedi, i'll pop over and say hello shall I?

[Al115]

Would love to come and support, will be out of the country (surprise) that day but GOOD LUCK with it anyway! Should be epic.

[gazjacko]

To anyone who's never been to watch, it's well worth it. free to watch from the Prom or for about a tenner you're allowed a pitlane pass. last time I went I ended up deep in conversation with a Mk 1 Cortina driver as to the state of his spark plugs he'd just removed, and possible causes (asking me showed he was desperate!!).
Good luck Russ, hope to see you some time during the day.

[AndysR]

Good luck Russ, looking forward to seeing you there :)

This might interest you mate; it wasn't always a 1/4 mile...

SPEED TRIAL HISTORY (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brighton_Speed_Trials)

[JelT5]

Good luck Russ.
Always fancied the speed trial myself, but never had a quick enough car!

[RT MECHANICS]

I would not fancy getting the sand everywhere lol msa licence is easy you only need a national b :)


Good luck Russ. Car's looking stunning mate.
looking at your group looks like you could be able to do a lot of upsetting.

Hi Many thanks i will not be going for any record times yet as i still have more changes to make due to a few major let downs on some parts.


Good luck with it russ hope the new gear box holds up for you.
Pete

Thanks Pete I do hope so i am sure the mistake i made was starting off with a very worn second hand unit my mistake.


Good luck Russ

Hi Mike do come down and watch if your around :)


i'd love to come down and watch this, but as usual i might aswell be a million miles away.

let us know if you plan to do anymore further north ie york. :)

No idea as its not running at full power yet will be great to just have a go


I will definately do my best to be there Russ. All dependant on the baby!

The weather forecast said rain around Brighton this morning but I learn't to ignore the weather forecasts until the day before as they aren't normally that accurate at the start of the week. :)

What time does it start ?

I should imagine its a nightmare trying to park anywhere within 1/2 a mile of this event, where's best to park ?

Simon............

I will be there sunday ;) I live in brighton, and suggest you follow the signs to the Royal Sussex county hospital, and try to find a parking space somewhere around there and then walk down to the seafront! Failing that, Head out of brighton on the A259 towards the east (rottingdean and peacehaven) And try to find a space there m8y..... Whatever way you do it, it will be a nightmare, Brighton is hard enough to find a parking space in on a normal sunday, let alone when there is a HUGE event on such as the speed trials!
See ya there!

Just realised its sat! GRRRRRRRR i have to work tomorrow so cant go :( And yes there is a free car park in the marina, but get there early!!!!!!!! Cos it will fill up VERY VERY fast.... Its about a 15min walk back to the event from there.... DO NOT park in the ADSA car park because its limited to 2 hours parking, and they charge! Your car WILL be clamped if you leave it there, theyre really hot on it!

Car looked great!
at Practice in the morning Russ was in danger of being done for kerb crawling!!!:biggrin::snail: but looked much better on his second run (after which I had to leave )
Impressed the spectators where we were Russ, they couldn't believe the quoted output until we put them right!
well done mate! however you've got a bit to do to catch the Hyabussas that were clocking 9 sec 1/4 miles at 150MPH!!!! and the guy on the supercharged one who's bike was still spinning up at about 120mph leaving black lines half way down the run must have testicles the size of grapefruit!!!!!

Hi all had a great day at Brighton there was a fantastic range of cars and bikes of all types and ages having a go the weather was fine a bit too hot for us turbo cars !!

My first launch did not go well I have had so little time to do some decent practice
I was to busy messing around with my anti lag the first time was 15.77 rather slow !!

I waited for another run and then improved my time to 13.83 which was better but a much better time is in the car I thought I would have been having another go but in the class I was in you only do a practice and one run I really enjoyed my day but will be back again for more runs I feel a trip to Santa pod coming on to try a proper surface a few pics from the day :

I must thank all our loyal customers that made the trip down to come and support the RT team the car had lots of attention all day and I even had a TV interview from a very nice lady who loved the car as much as me I think, I must thank Andy and James for the Built by RT Mechanics sticker a very kind thought which the Peril now wears with pride :

http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j152/500bhpvolvo/The%20Peril/100_4890.jpg

So a great day all round I got to drive our loan car home so went from 468 hp to 170 as it was high time my bro had a decent drive the 50 odd miles back to RT HQ which he rather enjoyed The peril did not miss a beat all day even though the bonnet was up I had not one problem in my class there were 62 cars I came 15 th so was happy with that .

Russ

[Justin]

Nice pics and looks like a great day out :)

[gazjacko]

Up on the first level there were groups of 6 or so fold-up chairs 'reserved' by larger groups who were taking turns to walk the pitlane and spectate (and drink beer!) so if Russ is going again next year how about an organised VPCUK group? we could park up at the Marina (there was a TVR club parked up there this year).
I can't do justice to telling you what an excellent day out it is. £10 entry for a whole day's motorsport, up close, with the smell of Castrol R, the noise of highly strung motorbike engines, V8s and highly tuned 5 cylinder Volvos!
I have a .mov file of Russ's first run and I'm trying to isolate the sound file as I'm thinking of using it as my ringtone!!:mischievo

[Justin]

Top idea, any more pics?

Was a great day out, first time I have been to the speed trials, and I have to say that the Peril looked and sounded awesome! Well done Russ and team a fantastic achievement so far :)

Having missed some of the action i reverted to u-tube earlier and this 'busa' which is some machine:

i would excpect a time in the low 12 to high 11 second 1/4 miles with a spec like yours, 13.8 is poor BUT as you say the car is capable of quicker times.

id be interested to see it run on a decent surface and with a good launch!

Hi Cgrextreme

Your dead right i wish i could of had a few more runs . Another go on a better surface and better times will come i am only at 468 hp as it stands right now so more to come as the tests and spec changes :)

Talking to a few of the regulars say that the poor surface is worth an extra 1-2 seconds we will see but a 11.8 does sound nice :)

i like the way you say only 468bhp LMAO :D

11.8 would be very good, i hope im right to think ultimatley the car was never built for 1/4 mile sprints but due to the numbers it produces it would be bloody rude not to

Just being honest i have had a few problems with a company letting me down on my special cams i should be running so thought i would try another test with a different cam selection for now,i did a RR run a few weeks ago just to test to see what she made (don't want to be seen as a RR queen as some like to make out...)

The Peril was never built as a 1/4 king at all as you rightly say i would of gone a different route its mainly a road car :)

Russ

[sen]

I think the peril did very well i mean over 500 bhp in a front wheel drive motor is a hell of a lot and there is no way the peril would have been able to put all the power down in first and probably second to be honest. I bet the car is great fun and better suited on a track and as said above an amazing road car kicking alot of silly expensive road cars. lol Well done guy's a credit to you.

Hi Volvo lovers just thought i would add one of my videos from the speed trials from last October i have not been able to convert them until now so thought i would finally add some noise here :

You will here the anti lag start @ 1 min 42 once i cross the finish line (centre switch on the dash) no aid at all to me other then the noise just to please the watching crowd hope you enjoy them and it gives you some idea how the car sounds this is the second run of the two I had on the day a 13.83 @114 mph not the fastest time in the world but I was happy I never went to win the event just take part I will be doing more ¼ mile runs soon as the gearbox parts are complete .

Enjoy :

nice vid. You should of used the anti-lag on the startline, that would of woke everyone up lol

[Murphy]

Interesting video, sounds great. The car isn't much of a drag car, the lack of traction proved that - but it is monster quick from 3rd on and pretty stable looking too! Crossing the line at 114 proves it has lots of power. A 13.2sec M5 does 114 @ 1/4 mile with launch control, rwd and a double clutch gearbox. Under the right circumstances you can be in the 12's.

I know you are an Evo man anyway, so I assume you have seen the 30-130 thing, are you competing?

bring your car to either avon raceway or york raceway on the 30th racing some over cars especally volvos that should get your time up russ lol.i would not want to a inocent 940t cain your ass on the drag strip lol ps with the power of yours i have no chance lol

Thanks i will see how i am fixed would like to come along



I cant play the vid, it opens as a picture

Have another try :)



if you do wish to attend your more than welcome very good video

Hi Pete

I will do my best


a good video

Thanks


nice vid. You should of used the anti-lag on the startline, that would of woke everyone up lol

Once i have worked out and edited the first run you will all see and here what Anti lag from the start line sounds like :)


Interesting video, sounds great. The car isn't much of a drag car, the lack of traction proved that - but it is monster quick from 3rd on and pretty stable looking too! Crossing the line at 114 proves it has lots of power. A 13.2sec M5 does 114 @ 1/4 mile with launch control, rwd and a double clutch gearbox. Under the right circumstances you can be in the 12's.

I know you are an Evo man anyway, so I assume you have seen the 30-130 thing, are you competing?

Hi Murphy

Third gear is my favourite gear as the gearbox has shown :slap: i cannot wait for the car to be properly timed i will be interested in the 30-130 etc etc i have been invited to a few of this type event so look forward to it the one i want to try is the time over a mile from a standing start the brighton times i am pleased with,i am a way off beating a mate in sweden who's 850 does an 10.6 1/4 at 146 mph :bow_kneel i am sure a low 12 is in the car i am sure once i am all set up it will do it i am not that fussed any way its all fun for me

one of your "haters" here.

believe it or not i actually love the car but it must be galling to think you've spent all that money on making the car the best you can. and then you end up getting whupped by elliot in his home built and mapped car.

even if you did have traction problems, anyone who knows their arse from their elbow knows the terminal speed shows up quite a lot. yours was 114 compared to elliots 119.

you know what the ironic thing is? elliot set his time at north weald which has a crap surface. you know whats even more ironic? he isn't interested in straightline speed, he just wants to make his car quicker round a track:remybussi

thats my last post here. goodbye.

[cherry1809]

I really don't mean to sound like I'm having a dig, But are you being a bit "Gentle" on the car?
I'm sure with that power you can get a LOT better times. Nearly 600bhp is big power, Just didn't come across in the vid.

Hi Irf

Thanks for the kind words i am glad you love the car too i wonder how many practice starts Elliot (a genuine nice guy) has made in his car before the time he set a decent time I am glad he took my advise on the clutch to use :wink: i would be the first to say well done for so no need for all the bitching you and your friends can think all they like its no bother to me.

Bye bye

Hi Cherry

No worries about the thought's i guess i was quite gentle with the launchs please remember the car only had 468 hp on the day not 600 i am sure better times are due no matter how hard some try to rubbish it.

I do like the vid i have seen it many times have alook here from a fellow autronic user :

Why is IRF so uptight about your yellow peril? (just curious)

it's an absolutely awesome car! even if there's more to come in the staight line, it's still a monster.

You done much work at RT on the Ford ST/Volvo S40 T5's?

Mulling over whether to spend more on my S40 or save up for a 2.4 S60 T5.

Ok here goes I finally managed to sort out my video of the very first launch of the Yellow at Brighton as you can see as I moved to approach the line I switched on my launch control (far left switch this was my main error as the car MUST be stopped for 2 seconds for it to activate)

But with all the excitement of the event I forgot !! I then turned on the anti lag (middle button) just for some off beat five cylinder music (makes the car sound more like a Subaru lol) pops when coming off the throttle no performance advantage at all as I get ready to launch.

I then realised the car was not in launch mode so tried to get it to switch in (as it turns out the car did not like this mistake and so cut the revs from 2nd to third gear as you can here !!

As you can clearly here my thoughts on the run at 2.26 says it all lol

Its only after working out how to do all this video editing that I worked out what went wrong lol

that is odd, i thought anti-lag worked by adjusting the timing by 40degrees & dumping excess fuel in at idle so it ignites in the turbo to get it spinning so it came on boost quicker, watching your vid as you say it seems to be dumping the fuel on over-run

I think you will find that a lot of the neg comments come not from the looks of the car but of the cars components, as people think the car was 90% done outside of RT and RT were just the fitters,
Also if i am not mistaken the Peril is being touted as the SLIC (straight line i candy),

Anyway i love the car she is a credit on what a lot of time/effort and money can do, if only we all had the time let alone the cost lol,

Nothing odd about it :D my anti lag has NO performance benifit its just the noise :hihi: that i want it for the anti lag only works when you come off the throttle with a few pops and bangs :eek:

Gary your mates are wrong about the project as usual :wallbash: it was done with all my input and my ideas things like the tubular manifold had to be made else where.

Of course all the people that are taking that line of thought :talktohan can of course make a tubular manifold etc themselves lol after all if your going to get outside help with parts why not use the best in the business ;)

I guess the slic name the experts :talktohan have come up is just there narrow minded way i can live with that :hihi: there are thousands and thousands of supporters world wide .

As for the money i bet there is many people that have spent much money on there projects i guess the experts can do the same for ten pounds lol

sorry mate didn't mean to come across as a hater, just saying my understanding how a normal anti-lag system is meant to work. They do put alot of strain on the turbo tho so probably a good idea to use it how you are


i know what you mean about the noise, BT's launch control has the option for being a smooth or harsh rev-cut, obviously mines set at harsh so it miss-fires & pops lovely lol (doesn't half scare the person your sat next to at the lights lol)

the negative comments are clearly people who just don't get it!
As a project the Peril is awsome!!!
surely as the 'project manager' it's up to you to source skills and components from wherever you see fit.
Some of us have 'projects' sitting in the garage and we do not have the skill to get aspects of it done (for me it's a lack of any welding skills or mechanical aptitude that keeps my 1987 Mini in pieces in my garage). However the 'vision' of the completed article is all mine.
Your 'vision' for the Peril has no doubt evolved as the car has, and maybe one day you will declare it 'complete'. Until then I think most of us enjoy updates on the £££££££ child of a Volvo 850 combined with an engine that sounds as though it has harnessed the power of an atom bomb, driven by a bloke WHO CAN'T GET WHAT ORDER TO PRESS THE BLOODY BUTTONS!!!!!!!:hilarious:hilarious:hilarious:

Just because people frequent the same forum doesn't make them mates...

I think the only people i know of in the UK that have spent this much time and money on a T5 are you and Stuart from SW Auto's,

As for the otherside get the car out there Russ and prove em wrong ;) like Stuart did when all of the bitching was going on from this site :)

Hi Duane

I know your not having a go:wave23d: the full time anti lag can shorten the turbo life and engine life that’s correct.
I know a guy with a 500 plus hp Evo who runs his anti lag full time every day lol

My temp on the egt gauge jumps from 500 -650 or higher as soon as the anti lag is used so I am very glad of the decent manifold…

Hi Gary :worship:

There is a very small group who don’t like the fact I have more power then any other Volvo in the uk the only way they can deal with it is attack that’s just there way I could not care less .

I wish you or anyone who has a go at a project car it takes total commitment to see it through just be ready for the narrow minded ones along the way, I guess the fact I have tried to use the best of everything is in there mind a cheat etc etc etc so be it lol

I wish you luck with your mini project do get on with it :duck:

Hi Gary

Look out comments like that will get you banned from the dark side of the force lol

I think it’s a shame Stuart gave up with his car I would of liked to run against it at some point.

I only use Dyno dynamics rolling roads to prove the point because they lie so well and its all fixed LOL as someone once said they don’t flatter you they tell it like it is but even the experts have now rubbished them because there cars don’t perform :doh:

I have nothing to prove to anyone when I have finished the cars development I will choose what events I go to and take part in.

I am sure the results will come in time of course they can all build a car to this standard in five minutes and to a cost of ten pounds and make it 100 % reliable LOL

[irf]

have you read anything you've actually written?

is there an echo in there with your head being so far up your anus?

lets get some things straight.

on t5d5 you put your project up. many people including myself praised it for what it was and is - an amzing project. of that there is no doubt.

you were even given info to help you with regards to your brake servo.

you've also if i'm not mistaken been given plenty of help with regards to your choice of turbo. the emails still exist.

what is it then that went wrong? did little russy wussy get bullied? did you get asked questions russy wussy didnt really want to answer?

GROW UP!

you go on loads of forums moaning about "haters" when it's just a figment of your imagination. there are no haters of your project.

there are some very unhappy people though.

A P2 V70R owner, the only mod on his car being a map (irrelevant which map) which left your garage running 1.8bar!

is it any surprise the ecu done a poo poo?

then the car goes to a volvo dealer and the only change they make is loosen the actuator. surprise surprise the car starts behaving itself again.

what about the 850 running a standard 15g turbo that was running 1.5 bar. the guy spent £11k over three years with you and the cars what? in a dealership somewhere needing an engine.

or how about the guy getting charged for 8 tyres? or getting charged for an engine mount that hadn't been changed?

or how about the customer who asked you to fit a certain intercooler who was then subsequently told it would not fit. only to then be fitted by an enthusiast from another forum whose now gonna be fitting the same intercooler to quite a few cars of which mine was one.

yes, money was reimbursed for the engine mount and tyres but there are many many more cases. how about bills going into the thousands being unitemised?

oh, just to add, i'll just say the above is all "alleged" as it's another thing to prove in a court of law.

to sum up, it's nothing to do with your car, it's your practices!

justin, told you you should have deleted my account lol, feel free to do so, i don't have a volvo anymore so doubt i'll be back here again.
