lol

 

I wish i could, but it don't help your post count

Steve

 

to be honest dont worry what your graphs are telling you as regards your quarter mile time as the surface at pod is in a different league to normal road surface,and i think with the toyo,s warmed up slightly you might be supprised how much grip you have ,but id expect you to run in the 10s,
Also i presume you have a descent boost controller,then you may have to make it less aggresive in low down rpm,might help,just trial and error but im sure you will find the setup that suits you

 

Sounds great buddy.
Very interesting read.

I know Paul said when he drove it with traction control on in the wet, he was crapping himself.

 

im happy mate i dont expect it all to just happen it will take some time and fettling. i like the gtech, ive tested its accuracy at pod and its just about cock on, and it gives me repeatable comparable results.
i have a hks evc6 boost controller fully mappable boost but my wastegate spring is 1.4 - 1.7 bar ! this car does not do civilised lol
its all options i can just remove the smaller centre spring then i should be 1 bar spring and control it above that, im gonna get the r888s on and make sure suspension is set up good first so i get maximum mechanical grip then go from there, removing power is last resort

 

i still think you will be supprised if you warm the toyo,s up and let some pressure out,as that link to the other guys supra ,he seems to get good traction with simular power at the pod,anyway i wouldnt mind the engine in me escort lol

 

fingers crossed fella

i got this bad boy to fit aswell when i get time

 

What is it and what does it do Scooby Slayer?

 

might be wrong but its a line lock so you can hold just the front brakes on independant of the rears just incase you need to 'warm' your rear tyres up

 

Line lock, so he can lock the front brakes on, and do mahoooooosive burnouts

 

I'd be out of tyres in seconds lol

 

With the power he has he wont need it, just stand the brakes on full and use the engine to overcome the rear brakes, lol

 

i had a friend with a carlton who tried something similar to that, from where he was sitting it was the greatest burnout ever, until he realised it was his clutch burning not his tyres lol

 

these bad boys turned up today



Ł538 fookin quid lol mind you pirelli trofeo are Ł1100 so a bargain i guess !

feeling the sidewalls and face of tyre though they are super soft whereas the pirellis feel like a piece of wood

fingers, legs, knees and toes crossed for saturdays test !

 

with those and the line lock il give you 30 seconds before they are back to the canvas

 

it fits between the brake line to front brakes and acts as a valve, apply brakes and close valve, release brake pedal but front brakes still on ready for a burnout then just hit switch again to release front brakes, not cheap though Ł130 from the usa.

 

linelock will catagorically never ever be used with r888s, all i may do is a rolling burnout to heat them up. these are my summer road tyres

line lock is for drag radials.

 

once you get in the 10s would be good to have a head to head 4pot vs 6pot lol

 

that sounds like a plan fella
i need plenty more practice and grip first though lol

 

Be prepared for less than 4k normal road miles & you can finish the rears with a day at Brunters .

 

really ? just a couple of 200 mph runs with no launching will destroy brand new toyos r888s ?

 

We dont just do 200mph runs . You will want in-gear & launch figures surely. Only chance you will get to do a full bore 0-200mph.

 

in gear yes i would like to but launching i may leave for pod on the drag radials as i cant see the 888s gripping anyway not in first lol
i may do if i turn on the rltc its all dependant how many times it has to intervien.

 

take a telescope mate you might not see my rst when i wave goodbye to you while u spin

 

Get a life!

 

i dont think it would be much of a race, one of your friends just sent me a pic of you out in your rst ......




lol

 

im actually laughing out loud, the supra would probably beat you pulling away in 3rd gear

 

Steady lads. Mo trounced a lambo just imagine what he would do to your 900bhp supra and Rods saff.

 

Hes young & has no idea of what a fast car is about.

A well known youngster on here went out for a ride in JB's Saff & then sent me a PM telling me JB's car would eat mine as it was fast beyond belief. He believed that & so no point in saying anything.

 

FPMSL

Did JB not correct him? as he KNOWS your car is in a different league.

JB's sure does feel fast as fuck though, in fact some would probably find it quite frigethening to be in, I went out with him just to check his fuelling over etc once he got it back together and the way it goes sideways at 100mph cause it has utterly no grip makes it feel SO much faster than it really is.

 

Oh Rod, who is in heaven not quite yet,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy Cossie come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is at Brunters.
Give us this day our daily belittlement.
And forgive us our opinions,
as we forgive those who drive RST's.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from Jap cars.
For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory. for ever and ever. Amen

 

LOL!

 

Agreed...i went out in JBs down Southend and it certainly goes well !!. although hitting my head on his roll cage wasnt a good look

 

Did you have some explaining to do to your boyfriend when he found out you had got injured whilst enjoying some hardcore arse end action with a lad called JB down southend?

 

Lol, there are fast cars, then there are FAST cars. It all depends on application.

 

I was single then

 

whys it got such little grip chip ?

 

JB got fed up breaking diffs all the time so only ever runs shite tyres now I believe, 10 quid a corner part worns etc, as you do on a 500bhp car

Plus its got loads of camber on a standard beam from being quite low.

JB likes the back of the car to be very fluid, moving around all the time, its more like a motorcross bike than a car really, lol

 

i think the 100 + mph acceleration is gonna be pretty uncomprehendable to some people without experiencing it.

 

fook that, thats just what im trying to avoid spinning at 100 mph is no good imo unless its a drift car i suppose.
what use is power without control !
