Jon ERST S2

Got a few texts Car id 5.94 0 - 60 and went very well on track. He said he was doing 130's on the striaghts and EVO VI's could get close!

Glad it all went well Andy! Happy that it's getting some use. Can't wait to see some 1/4 mile times once you got the new wheels etc on.

Was it your old car that was chucking out clouds of smoke out track?? A red RST was and I only saw one

Should have been black flagged

Jon ERST S2

dunno mate, don't think so. He didn't mention it. I wasn't there, just got a text from him last night.

zvhturbo

Jon i think i got a pic of your old car.

Looked good and there was no smoke.

The bloke had taken the bonnet vents out.

Jon ERST S2

lol yep I have just posted the spare ones to him. they looked a bit cack, one bubbled and one with a screw hole in

glad it went well. post the pic up be nice to see the old girl!

Roy

yeah i seen it on the 0-60 at one point and its quick!

Jon ERST S2

was it still on 17's?

zvhturbo

Only got one pic and yeah it was still on the 17" wheels.

Jon ERST S2

be interesting on 15's and with the smaller lighter brakes
I'm actually starting to miss it! Didn't think I would, but i am glad it's doing well and owner is happy. better than spending all that time and effort and money to spread the parts around the country.

Who's was that red RST that was chucking out loads of smoke on the last track session? Can't believe the guy kept driving it! Mad! It was properly poorly, and he should have been black flagged.

I saw a red RST going home on a flatbed at the end of the day, probably this one above. Also sure it had bonnet vents removed ? or was that another car i saw?

Jon ERST S2

dunno mate. I got texts at 9.30pm, no mention of any problems...

DaveEscos

doesnt sound good Jon

lets hope mark hasnt struck.. again!

Jon ERST S2

I doubt it is the same car. He sent me a text at 9.30pm:

"Evo 6's couln't get passed it on the track! 130 on the straights. Awesome"

don't sound like someone who's gone home on a trailer with smoke coming out of the car to me.

Bomber

Andy said he was going to trailer it to and from fordfair just in case anything should happen. If it was being trailerd by a blue and orange transit then it was indeed Andy with Jon ERST S2's old car.

Jon ERST S2

never know how gearbox's are going to last launching the 0 - 60. Thats why I trailered mine to the 5 FRST Vs 5 ERST Day, just in case.

Impressive times on 17's. I can't wait to see a top speed and 1/4 mile time out of it .

SteveT

Bomber - Yes, that was the red RST i saw on the trailer. I was driving infront of it on the way home for ages.

Looks like it was not Jon's ex car that was poorly then. Someone else.
Hope its not too bad whoever it was.

steve

Jon ERST S2

Good stuff!

Sorry for the person who had problems though.

Jon ERST S2

I know Andy hasn't got net access right now, I was supposed to be ringiing him back about the wheels he bought
I lost his number

Stavros

The red one on the last (or one from last, i forget) track sesh was FOOKED, proper throwing out smoke, and he just kept on lapping the big gay

M7 COS

The last but one session was the one I filmed.

Stavros

It was like he didnt look behind and realise it was like thick blue fog behind him, the goon

Karl

oh dear so sounds like it was jons car billowing smoke then?

M7 COS

Maybe he's part of the Red Devils display team!!!!

Stavros

only when on full throttle, when at idle or braking it was fine, but every tiume he gave it loads, a CRAZY amount of smoke came out, like silly silly amount

M Brian

if it was andys car - then surely someone he knows would of said it was billowing smoke out of it??
and he didnt mention anything to jon about it??

EIL132

Look at the vid and see if it didn't have the vents on, that will tell

M7 COS

The one I filmed didn't have the vents on, haven't watched the video back yet, will check for smoke tomorrow.

AndyRST

Would you mention to the previous owner that the car they built and loved is now fucked?

Stavros

i thought the smokey fooker didnt have vents, but maybe im getting confused as there was a few red rsts and even one of the people we went up with was driving a frst with no vents, it was a no vent extravaganza

EIL132

Look at the reg plate then
