Wider aint always better, the wider the tyre the more friction/drag there is.

You need to get the balance with having enough grip to put the power down off the line but not so wide that they slow you down at speed (when traction is not a problem).

I'd like to get under 15, i'm sure the cars capeble of it.
Seems like many people will be doing stuff over the winter, and i may be getting stuff done as well, but not in my S70.
So, with a bit of luck, i may be more competition next year. (well... low 14's anyway lol)

If i can't get the thing i'd like off the person who mentioned it on here. Then i may just get a cheap 1 (the car) and get the engine done myself. (when i say myself, i of course mean find someone who can do the job for me! lol)

Well i think we are similar in that i know a fair bit about technical information (what does what, etc) but when it comes to the practical side of things, i'd much prefer to leave it to people who know what they are doing.
Induction kits, brakes, exhaust are about the limits of my talents lol

You were the only volvo becuase you didnt tell any of us you were going

Besides I had a pretty good reason for non-attendace I think.

How is the car running now Frank? You solved all the niggles yet?

my car ran ok mostly was playing with the boost but too much wasn't better so turned it down, my car is getting really slow terminal speeds i got a 15.03@91.59 but another run saw a 15.8@92 work that out i get off the line well but my car seems to get caught up around 70-90mph maybe the fact i have all my mods and at 22psi was only getting 262bhp tells me my engine aint too well.

Looks like it was a little greasy too.

no mate said i was getting good starts no-one beat me off the line got a 2.3 and some 2.4's to 60ft the first half my car flies its the second half that i struggle with, i got 76mph at 1/8 mile then only 91 at 1/4

**The Flying Moose** · Wednesday 26th January 2011, 21:13

Certainly needs looking into, your spec with 18T etc should break the high 14's minimum. I would expect a 95mph terminal even if the overall time wasnt that great.

Is it holding boost?
