Not bad for a home made car.
Stole this post off the owner on another forum.
hey, thanks for the words guys
it was a long time comming as a few of you know, so more a relief than anything else.
the engine had been capable of a 10sec pass for while already but the rest of the system (gear ratio's, synchro's, other bits and bats) were causing a headache. the new gearbox build finally seemed to work well, only missing 2nd gear once in the knock-out round against James Hodson (10sec VW golf, ex FWD champion). I would have had him otherwise Reeled him in once it came up on song at the end of the track. Missing that gear was the end of my ESC round but not after 5 runs - the first 2 with a phantom rev limit @ 6500rpm which turned out to be the launch control intermittently activating while on the move. I ran the rest of the day with launch control disconnected and still managed a 1.67 and 1.68 60's in my last 2 runs of the day.
Pretty happy with the 144mph trap, with a heavier car too now. I had expected a best some 6-7mph slower than that.
The engine has a slight missfire at the top of the track that I need to resolve, it could be that I'm blowing the spark out at high boost or that the injectors are falling over at high duty. unsure, but I can work on that for next time.
Big thanks to glenn Hi5 and andy speck who came along as pit crew and helped immensly throught the day.
Finally, big well done to tommy b also, 12.1 from a standard T2 ! W.T.F !!
The last comment about tommy b, he ran a r5 on an origional 1.4 pushrod, carb engine running a T2 turbo and still ran 12.1s
