Just found out I have an 850R Clutch!!!

**The Flying Moose** · Tuesday 28th September 2010, 20:58

May sound petty and slightly pathetic but talking to PaulZX (flying fridge mover) and he just told me the nearly new clutch me and dean fitted to the ovlov which came off the flying fridge mover is actually an 850R clutch not a standard one.

Silly but its actually made my day...

when i read you'd been speaking to Paul i thought you were going to say you'd bought the FFM, then i remembered the FFM was blue & already had a RIP kit

bit off topic but i've just sneezed all over the netbook screen

It was also broken for parts around 6 months ago, I actually wanted to buy it but didnt have the £800 wanted for it at the time.

I am actually drinking out of a can which used to be the flying fridge mover as we speak...

Thats the painful part. More still I have not seen to date another 850 run a sub 14 second quarter mile and the only one I have seen come close is deans running a pretty much dead 14 seconds.

BT on the other hand will be rather special, sod 13 seconds try 12 I reckon.

all i have to say see what happens this weekend with the head to heads i think we will be seeing some 13s on the strip and on youtube.

From santa20 definately... I would love to see Smithness and Rnash hit the 13's and I dont think james's car will be far off either.

As for yours smithy well, even though I am a FWD'er I really hope you give them all a real good run for their money.

what was Rnash's time, he must be sub 14 with the KKK?

BT on the other hand will be rather special, sod 13 seconds try 12 I reckon.

i really haven't got a clue on what her times will be, she ran a 14.557 with a 15g & full weight/interior. I helped Paul with alot of the stuff on FFM so it was quite a similiar engine spec to BT. I've got a 300kg advantage & a few other tricks up my sleeve i didn't tell him about

lol

atleast you won't be able to see how slow the time is from behind the smoke screen once the head gasket blows lol. Not trying to wish you any bad luck, but we all know what R*vers are like

If I remember correctly Rnash's best time is just over 14 seconds. He seems to suffer with some sort of problem most of the time he runs unfortunately.

Ok I shall be paying much attention to BT and you during my visit then... I would quite like to get mine as reliable and fast as possible without compromising any of the "comforts" you might say BT is now lacking

Sod that mate run the passat!

**LiamT4** · Tuesday 28th September 2010, 21:34

I think that Rnash got a 14.03 when i was at avon, i really do reckon he would have got a 13.9 if it wasn't so hot.

It has the later head gasket and was done not to long previously to buying the car so it should be fine lol

hopefully he'll crack it this weekend then

she's got a seat, what more comfort do you want lol. Your more than welcome to have a good nose over her, as i said before she's not looking as good as she has been because of the interior work i'm doing (plus the inlet manifold missing lol)

i will try my best to give everyone a run for there money lol

**Rnash2002** · Tuesday 28th September 2010, 22:00

Yep i ran a 14.03,dont think you could get much closer to the 13's lmao.
I was only running 280bhp then aswell with the fuel problems,and i defo needed better rubber that day and defo cooler air.

Running 300bhp now and she pulls well,also got some other stuff to fit for the day to get better traction off the line,if i dont see the 13's then i think i will cry lol.

**smithy** · Tuesday 28th September 2010, 22:09

with you racing smithness and jamest5r i think you all will be pulling 13s .this is going to be some seriously close races i think because none of you are going to want to come 3rd.it is also going to be good to see witch turbo goes the best kkk vs 19t hybrid vs 18t

Cant really compare to be fair as im only running 1.1 bar boost lol.
I will be happy with a 13.999 then i have some more power to push out of her for next year,and a few other things to try.
