nice head light protectors mate.. looking good

no front splitter tho mate?

 

I bought a fibreglass one to fit then I saw a the X-Sport carbon fibre ones and decided I wanted one of those instead just tring to sell the one I bought then i'll get the Carbon one, does look abit daft with out one on at all.

good choice with the carbon mate

 

What times did you run mate?

 

+ 1

 

My best of the day was a very rubbish 14.3 getting terminals of 110mph, just such a git to get off the line.
Really want launch control!

What Spec's that with Sonic?? that's almost T34 terminals...


Like you say though it's getting all the power down and having that great 60ft..

 

T66 Standard Head with BD10's Low comp 200 bottom end 418 Bhp
The non ported head lets it down and it quite laggy hence the rubbish launch as you have to gun it otherwise it just bogs down.
I'm gonna get the head done when funds allow but I think launch control would be good get the turbo spinning up off the line but with a controlled about of revs.
Here's a rolling road graph it does look very bad but doesn't drive that bad as long as your in the right gear.

Rich,

Thing is aswell mate, you'll have to watch the box/diff when you've got launch control, it'll hammer it, it does without though to be fair..

My old saff ran a 13.1 @ 119 on a T38 running 420bhp @ the time..

 

To be fair I was expecting a high 12 but it might just be me being a girl launching it.
I had 5 runs got quicker everytime maybe I just need more practice

Run 1: 15.6
Run 2: 15.3
Run 3: 15.0
Run 4: 14.8
Run 5: 14.3

Think you need to give it more abuse off the line mate, lol
I used to do 13.1's at 115mph with my old 400bhp engine on cheap 205 tyres so would have thought you'd have more grip with the 245's

 

Ye been as I was knocking off quite abit each time I think I could have gone quite abit quicker, i'm there again in 2 weeks on the 17th & 18th or I might go to central day at the pod.
