Not far off now, just going to go out, (yes in the rain)

To finish the map, got to "bodge" it as the map sensor won't read high enough and the new 1 hasn't come in time.

What time we got to be at brunters? And what happens if it rains?

Ricky -what car have you got ?

If it rains you still run, if you break the noise limit you park up and spectate for the rest of the day.

Anyone got a list of what cars are going ?

A civic turbo. If it rain's it won't be much fun though, I mapped it last night in the wet and while trying to setup the boost control for the higher speed's it was wheelspinning at 100 in 4th. My car doesn't have such a good top speed i couldn't get a new box in time, so it would kind of ruin my day.

Although i'm looking out the window and thinking, about tigging a screamer pipe back into the exhaust on the evo, just incase it rains. But i think my boost will creep too much.

What other casr were there ?

Oh and Redline don't have a problem with you posting the times iirc

2 Audi s4's running decent power.

An ep3 civic running 470 iirc.

A cossie powered xr3 with skyline running gear.

the cossie powered catherham/dax type thing.

A bmw 335d.

And porshce 996? turbo.

My car does 38 in 1st
58 in second (bummer)
92 in 3rd (again not ideal for 0-100)
118 in 4th (again a bummer for the quarter time)
143 in 5th.

It did 140 i think with the limiter a little bit lower.

I was happy with it, road tyres and not the best surface, this was the first day ever for me to do something like this and the first day to test this car.

Yes just seen his sig.

He did a 12 dead at 122 or something IIRC.

I was tempted for more boost to try and do a similar terminal. But with an 1.8bar map sensor on there and a somewhat "bodged" map i didn't want to risk it.

Shame at least 5 cars dropped out at last minute

But there will be plenty more thrashes, usually do one once every month or two.

Good times ricky

Was a great day.

I did

0-60 in 3.5
0-100 in 6.9
Standing quarter in 11.5 @129

Was really pleased with these times given the surface there and being 2WD.

Was just building the top speed runs up to see what the car was like and did a 159 I think. It has loads left and was pulling it way before the brow on the hill but my pants were browning up a bit too much!

Tried a 0-100-0. Result was 1 snapped front wishbone and the other bent like a bananna under braking so had to call it a day there.

Was getting quicker and quicker as we got the launch settings better in the ECU. Shame it broke. Will be back again to do better and with some bigger balls for a higher top speed!!!! I reckon its got 170 in it.

Cheers to Renton, Stav, Millsy and the photographers for a great day.

Bloodyhell, good times all round these are all news to me as I had too much work to do to be there (always the way eh, do all the work to organise it, but dont get to go and enjoy it ), but sounds bloody good. well done all

Was meant to be 4 other approx 600bhp cars coming, and a couple other gooduns, but seems problems fooked em at last min, but thats thrashes and modded cars for you, happens every time, nobody fault, just the way cars are.

if anyone has any other properly quick cars that arnt stupid noisy, feel free to PM me, like said, we have plenty of thrashes so plenty of chances to come along
