[V70 Graham]

Quite understandable mate, you might even have a Volvo by then, some of these insurance companys payout pretty quick

[Nealevo]

Be mindful that on the last public day, it was over an hour wait between runs.... And don't wear shorts!

I managed to squeeze a diff out with those special tyres :)

[JUDGENINJA]

Colin - would you be bringing me a couple of tyres?? I'll need to find a tyre shop open on a Sunday...

Target for the day will be better than 14.2. However I don't seem to be able to stop the near side wheel from spinning with out considerable lift off, which will ruin the times.

[Jamest5r]

Don't know yet, they're fun in the wet...lol

I hit a rain storm on the way to Trax.......bloody crapped meself at 70mph they like to float lol

[JUDGENINJA]

Frankie.... Yep... Back then... And yes it was 14.6 as standard and 14.5 with the seats removed.

[JUDGENINJA]

It's been nicknamed the "Smithy configuration"...

I'm hoping 14.2 is a conservative estimate, and gaining another 0.2seconds will be very hard

To be fair mate, you've done well to get that time with a 15g, but Frankie's right, you need a bigger turbo.

[claymore]

Could be me :)

[T5frankie]

Could be me :)

[Nealevo]

I'm not saying anything, as I always lose...

[T5frankie]

i may have to get myself an s60r by next week :eclipsee_

[Jamest5r]

Say's the man that has preached many times it makes eff all difference to 60 ft you can do a 2.2 with 1 wheel drive you've done it :)

[Jamest5r]

standard car with a 15g or standard 15g turbo only?

[MoleT-5R]

standard car with a 15g or standard 15g turbo only?

using a standard 15g turbo and adding your usual mods but keeping the standard turbo

[T5frankie]

using a standard 15g turbo and adding your usual mods but keeping the standard turbo

well as i said judgeninja in his lightweight 850 14.2 think that had a 15g still

[JUDGENINJA]

Not sure if you can count mine as standard. It had nothing in it, flywheel, 3L throttle body with 76mm intake pipes plus an MBC..

But yes a 15g turbo..

[stribo]

Yeah, I meant standard turbo. There you go then, strip the interior out of your car, and you're laughing.;)

[JUDGENINJA]

....but laughing on your own, cos you are lonely and smelly, cos you can't unwind the windows as they are screwed Poly-Carb.

[LiamT4]

Should be a good day by the looks of it.

[JUDGENINJA]

It was also a brand new turbo. Came with Volvo sealed off caps...

I'm guessing most people are looking at Sunday only??

I'm only .03 seconds behind Ade, hopefully the new exhaust will help me beat his time. ;)

not looking like I'll improve tomorrow, boost is not coming on as normal, tried a few things and slight improvement, so will see what tomorrow bring, its something simple but I'm not seeing it....doh


I've never been a very good spectator - I'd find it a little depressing - just coz I got nowt to run.

you could set a time for a s40 or go against Colins second car time, may be we should start a new time chart for non performance fall backs...lol


You get used to it after 2 years lol

I'll be back, keep saying it mate, look were it's got Arnie, multi millions and running his town man....lol

not looking like I'll improve tomorrow, boost is not coming on as normal, tried a few things and slight improvement, so will see what tomorrow bring, its something simple but I'm not seeing it....doh



you could set a time for a s40 or go against Colins second car time, may be we should start a new time chart for non performance fall backs...lol



I'll be back, keep saying it mate, look were it's got Arnie, multi millions and running his town man....lol

We'll have a look at it tomorrow mate, maybe a fresh set of eyes etc. I've also got a spare MAF and TCV I'll bring with me.

Quick update, Claymore's gearbox has developed a leak, so he's not allowed to run. Judges turbo is making a bid for freedom, so needs bolting back on, and our R's clutch is playing up.:(

[stribo]

My quickest in the C70 is 14.92. Track doesn't seem that quick today.

[Jamest5r]

I'm sure Colin said he would walk home if he didn't beat 14,7 I'm off to pick up a free 850 lol

[smithy]

Any times yet we are all waiting and any pb too

Bloody hell mate what you done now

[claymore]

Don't know yet, but even if I only had an oil leak, 10 miles with the oil light coming on all the time will have killed it.

Enough lay by's on the A5 mate you not feel like stopping?

[inde_house]

Judge got a 14.0 something
I also got a 15.3 in Graham's car :)
Stribo got 14.4 I think in the gay gold car
Relfski clutch had issues

[WOODY T5]

Couldn't get a good launch off the linelike wize mate nice to meet u and v70 graham and wife strbo and his racing wife mole and his son and old faces great bunch and a great day out thanks guys and guls

[WOODY T5]

only got 13.4 but was head wind also only let 2psi out of my tryes doh if only a lol

[Nealevo]

Any M3's on way home??

[V70 Graham]

Just home from another great days racing, good to meet Dean and indie_house and of course all the 'regulars'

Colin had some bad luck and with his oil leak was unfortunately only allowed a couple of runs, Rachel also ran into a few problems with the cluch on the R not playing ball, Wayne's problems were however able to be fixed and he posted a most impressive time of 14.19 :B_thumb:

As to my own times.....well I started off well and on my second run I beat my pb by 0.30 seconds to record a 15.36 unfortunately it all seemed to go downhill from there though I will say that nearly all my times beat my previous outing so either I'm getting better or the new TCV and M-R-P pipe work have made a difference (me thinks the latter)

It did begin to bother me that no matter what I tried I couldn't seem to better my times and so Neal took my car out for a run, with the following results :

Me 15.36 @ 94.84 mph
Neal 15.22 @ 94.60 mph

Now he obviously is not used to my car, but he does have a lot more experience at this sort of thing so I was not that upset at only being 0.14 behind him, maybe it's the ME7 holding me back.
Neal did however comment that my car was sooooo smooth and quiet and in 'real world' driving had plenty of power where it mattered.....I must be doing something right.

Now the piccy's.....

'The Judge' and indie_house

[V70 Graham]

If I don't beat a 14.7, I'll leave the car there and walk home.

Well, what can I say, unfortunately as you know Colin had a few problems today and he failed to beat 14.7

He is however a man of his word and he was last seen walking towards Shrewsbury having kindly given Annemarie the keys to her new car.....

[JUDGENINJA]

Great day, now sitting at the local services eating a Bugger king(needed the drink more than anything!).
Day started OK, but a bit disappointedly to start:
(VP18)
14.92188@98.6 vs Stribo(VP40) 14.92187@95.87 - 0.00001sec in it, but I was declared winner on reaction time.
14.609@99.29 vs GrahamV70(VP42) 15.361@94.84
14.722@98.37 vs T22??
14.669@97.66 vs VP43(woody??) 13.774@109.1
15.267@93.03 vs T17

OK started to worry as none of these times were better than when the car was standard.
Having a quick look over the car I noticed the Turbo had again unbolted itself!!! So much for ATS using new nuts!!

I scrounged some bolts from a friendly drag racer and waited for the car to cool and bolted it up again. Whilst parked up I bolted on some nice Tarmac slicks from Claymore(thanks) and Then back out:

14.817@98.56
14.305@99.7 ....woohoo!!!! first one better than standard..then...
14.198@100.15..... = NEW PERSONAL BEST FOR ALL CARS!!

I didn't improve the rest of the day, but had fun trying...
14.85@99.56
14.55@98.75
14.54@99.11
15.52@79.34 - Lost power when battery terminal fell off
14.37@100.35
14.86@98.43
14.86@98.06

So 15 runs in all and I achieved my target.... Next level 14.00...

Great day with the 'softies' as usual and welcome to "indahouse", I hope you make it to more meets!!
Shame about Claymores car.. Relski's S60R.. Hope they are't too bad..
Even saw Liamt4 in his new car..

I think I may have a driveshaft on its way out, funny rotational vibration.... But not to worry!!!

See you all sooon!!

[merc85]

Looked like a cracking day, wish i coulda made it :( Sorry to here of claymores trouble hope you get it sorted mate.

I didn't see any m3's on the way home. But I did get pulled on the way home after using a bit of boostI In second gear to take a gap as the road went from 2 lanes to ones. I was so good on the way home aswell. 60 mph all the home on the motorway.

Funny thing was the po po said that they were expecting to see some young boy racer in the car and seemed shock when they pulled up beside me. Will have to be careful for a few days now. Ooops

[smithy]

Looks like you all had a nice day and I'm glad the weather was good too.whos is the French plated 850

Check you engine mounts as well and your exhaust fitting before your gearbox mate .the reason why I say that because the noise goes away when you put your foot down.but your car does sound and go mighty fine .

[JUDGENINJA]

.....unfortunately the sound is there under heavy acceleration as if a lay shaft is lifting off its mounting. But I will have a good look. Best case it is an engine mount making a driveshaft rub against something...
