a nice clean saff just does it for me

 

Chute is lame, get some reverse thrusters.

 

nearly there then mate.
them wheels look way better too lol
good luck !

get a chute! would look cool as fook if nothing else lol

 

It will be after the 3 1/2" exhaust is fitted, takes time, & nothing used before fits, this has been a night mare had three visits to Fabricator over the weekend & its 80 mile round trip each time getting bits made as I found a prob, Henry even did a job today after I cheekly rang him up early this morning & said I had to have a bit made NOW!!. He worked as fabricator for Williams F1 for 5 years & is superb, hes working on Sunnys car & an Escort Cossie at the mo.
Rod

ps. Its now ready for the Exhaust to be fitted, even cleaned it. .

 

i see, just wondered, sounds like a good man to know does this henry

 

Just move a few of the blue plastic wrapped tyres out the way at the end of brunters just in case so you can run right thru the parked cars in an emergency...

We did that last Wednesday and fookin good job too as on the 200mph run the Corrollas brakes failed and had to take the emergency exit i made

Good thinking by Adrian too as i didnt expect it at all...

 

Rod I would highly recomend fitting a chute in the interest of safety, how ever it is very important where they are anchor'd, if wrong the rear will start to fly but when fitted correct could save you and the car stopping and also when out of control. As for TOTB they are extremely stupid if they object to cars running them, they wont aid MPH as TOTB best is over a set distance therefore there a safety feature.

If you decide on a chute feel free to call if you need advise.

 

Good Luck with it again Rod

*I will sell the secrets of that turbo to anybody who pays me very well!!!!*

J/K Rod.

 

HOoe all goes well Rod.

 

Good luck Rod, I would seriously think about running a cage at those speeds too

 

Steve, does the speed still "count" if you end up going through the emergency hole you have made in the tyre wall, as i thought that the contest everyone was engaging in was what top speed you could get up to and then stop, obviously if you dont have to completely stop at the end it gives you longer to accelerate?

Not that i care either way very much personally, but just thought a few people might start knocking Rod for that if he did what the corrolla did and "cheated" by breaking too late and having to use more space.

 

Chip, its an escape route if your brakes fail. You really wouldn't want to plan to use it. The amount of ground you are covering at that speed compared with the amount of speed the car is putting on over say 195mph I can't see that little extra making that much difference at all. Just my opinion.

 

Porkie thats my opinion too, but it wont stop all the Rod-bashers having a go at him if he ends up needing to do that.
They will just say he was cheating and couldnt do it in the allocated space.

 

Well if they do start saying that shite, I'll tell em they are losers who haven't got a clue what they are talking about

 

Exactly the same approach i would personally take to those who view it as invalid if its a "on gas" speed TBH.

But Rod seems to care about the opinions of such fools for some reason!

 

Have seen a few go through the end, Mark did it once & vowed never again, its a car park & a bit hairy. Its OK unless you are out of Control & sideways, best avoided. At 200mph your doing 100m second so makes little difference as its prob only another 1 second or so on the throttle, I dont think anyone would set out to cut it that fine. .

 

Good luck Rod....
