I know its in the wrong section BUT I thought quite a few peeps might want to see it as it was a talked about car in its day and I found this vid I took back in 2003

Launches very very well!

Ha HA this is a bad time to show me old memories!! the rolling shell is due to be sold, and my new built engine is not going to make it in the car! that was acvtually a slow launch, 1.7's the car really made a move when it went 1.61 60ft i just hung on tight and shifted the gears.

This was D Day, on the run that took part after these pics the car ran its best ever 7.2@104mph to the 1/8mile but during 3rd gear there was a nitrous error due to 2 jets being the wrong way round this caused the intake to expload and caused a live wire to earth out and ignite a BIG fire! was a sad day, I started rebuilding it but now my own company has started that has to come first, the car is all repair as far as the shell goes, paint work is complete, new loom in it etc. I have an engine built to go it but no time.

at the time that run was on T34 18psi, greys, with ported head and low comp Jamsport built engine. made very good mph for the boost, at 21psi it ran 118mph that day but launching was a problem as it was boggin off the line, you can hear on the vid i'm slipping the clutch into it, that was a 2 plate AP clutch.
