what you quoting mate?

cfoster

strange that as i heard it as well from a few people :S. My first run was 13.7 without the ALS on, no one knew my second (where i got a mad launch!), and third was 13.2 so possibly.....

Anyone know???

Chris

POPEYE

no you never,benn watched all your runs,same as he did mine,your best was what you said

My one and only run was shite and the slowest i have ever done
No excuses it was my fault not the car
Didn't get a chance for another as i was booted out after my oil return pipe from the turbo split and made the left lane a little slippery Sorry fellas!
I eventualy sourced some pipe (Cheers JC ) but by the time i had fixed it it was pissing down so game over until next time.

Got me a couple of 15.0's @99mph abit disappointed as the car has run 13.9 at the pod with the previous owner in a lower state of tune.
i need to solve my issue with the wheels tramping instead of spinning before i can really be competitive i guess! only got a few runs in too which was a shame! good fun tho

Weekend kicked arse big style. So funny. Jim has got to be one of the funniest guys i know. Top man.

Nice to meet faye and alex too.

Sexy-RS

Jim Never fails to make us laugh thats for sure

Nice to meet you to rich

Jim Galbally

pjs, mine's 2wd

pjsprojects

Good for not lossing drive train power but crap for grip then

you should keep with a std 2wd cossie no probs as mine can keep ahead of a std escort coss upto 110mph then it's neck and neck......

I've been offered many saph cossies over the years but parts bills have made me not have another so hence the 24v i have now which i believe to be stronger. (i might be wrong so we shall see).

A good non NOS 24V xr4x4 will do your time Jimbo.

Jim Galbally

johnny, thats why i think its shit

99mph ET aint too bad tho, my TT used to run at that pace (but at 13secs not 14!)

more detail:

reaction: 0.710 (i was trying!)
60ft: 2.464
330: 6.504
660: 9.681 @ 78.59mph
990: 12.339
1/4m: 14.692 @ 99.78mph

ps that was against that capri, and you can see in the vid just how bad i did at the start!

traction did seem a tad shite on the strip tho. spadge and pops were spinnin up for a while before they took off

Karl

Jim, your 330ft speed is total tosh. 79mph is what your 1/8th terminal would be, not 330ft.

Jim Galbally

karl, just read danny2's post n realised that its just not very clear on the timing slip...
