i love your car rich ,lokks like it was flying


how is the new gearbox?

Sonic Boom

It ran pretty well yesterday I knocked 1.99 seconds off my PB so it's down to 51.14 now which was still only good enough for 4th place I need to find another 2.5 seconds to beat Robert in his 996 GT3.
The gearbox is brilliant! I'd recommend a close ratio box to anyone that wasn't out for anything other than out and out top speed.

Shelsley Walsh next weekend which should suit the big boost 3 Door slighty more than than the rest of the class (fingers crossed proabably be proved wrong )

thats cool as fook mate ,


2.5 secs behind a 996gt3 is pretty respectable rich .it must be pretty hard keeping it on boost the whole time around the twisties .

how do they compare weight wise ?

Sonic Boom

iTrader: (11)

Not sure on weight the GT3 isn't standard either it's runing 420 bhp and 295 888's on the rear and 235 888's on the front it's a very formidable car.
His last run of the day was only 100ths of a second off the class record which has been held by a Dodge Viper for the last 3 years.

I'd love to run anti lag just so I could get out of the corners that little bit quicker and launch control so I could get my 64 foot times down.

Cheers Pete, you going to come and watch an event this year?

It's too bad at all mate much better with close ratio box now it's a GTX3076 with a Tial SS 0.82 V-band exhaust housing

Cheers mate i'm running 888's all round 235/40/17 on the rear and 205/40/17 on the front

Cheers Glenn it's nice to have it all working (fingers cross I haven't just put the kiss of death on it)

Cheers mate it's still abit of a handful

time to get them arches stretched rich ,for some fatter rubber mate

Sonic Boom

iTrader: (11)

I can go 255 on the rear without any further arch work as I had 2" chopped out of them but I meed 9" wide wheels to fit the 255's and only a bit more work to fit 235's on the front.
This may happen later on in the season money permitting.
