...and last time to set some times!

I know Luca, Crazycage and QplateRST are all planning on popping down to better their times before the year is out, who else is coming?

Especially FWD?

 

If there's enough interest we'll send a snapper for the mag!

 

I might pop along

 

Now there's an idea!

 

im taking mine and project rs is taking his 300hp 1600 cvh erst and sam is taking his zetec turbo fiesta for a shake down.

luca you best be coming mate.

 

I will be there if everything goes to plan along with my mate in his 300hp astra c20let!! And possibly a few more from Blackpool !

 

ill be there

 

Will be very busy, so no

Steve

 

I think I may go, Is anyone camping?

 

im not sure you can at a rwyb ? i will if you can tho, i hate doing it all in one day fucks me up.

 

Will you be running your mk5 ?

 

ill be there just not in a ford

 

I'm coming! Only bringing 230bhp to play with though lol

 

Who cares if it's busy only takes 10 seconds

 

There's a few then!

Ollie and Karlos are you running?

Gary I think you can camp on some RWYB days, look on the site or give them a bell.

 

you got some drag slicks then lol

 

Yes mate why not!

 

its all about traction and getting clean through the gears and not hitting the limiter mate

 

Hopefully some new records will be set!!!

 

how manny do we need for a snapper ? should be good for the mag looks like most of the fastest ffwd's will be doing battle on the same day, would make a good read.

 

Two tubes of Gripfill

SORTED!

 

Yer I will be running my MK5 I missed running at central day this year as the car wasn't mapped in time.

 

Got any tips Gary? Tyre pressures?
Gear change should be ok, this new box is really nice.
I stop making power at around 6k so should not be any where near the limiter hopefully, although in 2nd it gets there very quickly!

 

It's already looking promising, but if everyone spreads the word it'll make for a bigger and better feature!

 

You best had mate bring on the 11s

 

So had you mate! dnt think my car has it in it yet hopefully by central day it should it's going away for winter after this for some mods!

 

am coming but mk1 stopping at home

 

Will be there !

 

every car is different mate,but i run 12psi in my tyres and launch @1500rpm on half throttle for half of 1st gear then full throttle hit the limiter in 1st gear but not in any of the others

 

cool.

 

ive got a t34.48 on an erst manifold if ya wanna borrow it mate lol

 

Will be good to get a group of us together for the last RWYB of the year.
If we cant camp we can look at going to the same hotel as we do for central day?

 

No point, a standard focus wont look good nor be fast... Ill stay at home!

 

Isn't there a RWYB the following Sunday as well?

 

i may come along to watch, should be a good day

 

maybe even closer to high 10s when you get it dialed in properly, we ran 11.4 with 380bhp@750kg and you have nearly 100bhp more than that.

remember you will need to rev it hard off the line, we used to launch at 6.5-7krpm

 

on what tyres?

 

400bhp nova turbo

 

ohhh yes cant wait

 

m&h 15in drag slicks, as long as your back end is pretty stiff you will be suprised how much hard you can launch off the line, low 1.7 60fts are easy

this is the 11.4run

you get to the point of no return though as its been revved to 8.5krpm and its only a little 1.4 pushrod engine still on a carb

that was when it ran an 11.3

scoffs car has done 10.5 with 520bhp(in black) so only 50bhp more than luca hence maybe with time he can crack a high 10

this video is to show look how important burnouts are, you really need to get these tires hot for them to stick when launching at high rpm, takes scoff a few attempts as you can see but doing this helped him get beeter pb by 0.2 of a sec on the qtr
