went to pod today if thats news best of the day was a 13.0 @111mph due to 3 bollox starts, was trying to use my launch control but the marshels are in such a rush to get you lined up and go that i didnt really get time for it.... anyway maybe next time i'll give some normal starts not using the launch control. BUT seen as its my first time ever up pod i think i did ok...

(incidently saw another 2 ecossie's running one got a 13.4 the other only ran a 16.5 )

couple of things that wont have helped is it seems my water injection isn't kicking in now i shall need to speak to mark about that. Really need to sort my breather system and few other bits too but for now got alot on so will probably all be done in a major overhaul ....

replace all my new parts in 1 maybe... overall tho i should have run mid 12's today but with a few things tweeked and changed i should think next time i run i should be hoping for regular 12's

cheers mate no i think i did ok but i was just a bit annoyed that they didnt give me enough time to use my launch control .... but my mates said it looked very quick and had i launched right i should have easily been mid 12's ...

as said tho need to overhaul a few things to be up with your spec

ok just thought i'd pop a little update on the car, having driveshaft issues atm for some reason the nearside inner joint keeps going this is my third shaft now .... so i am resorting to the major changes to solve this....

in a month the car will be booked in gonna have the sump removed, my big wing sump fitted with a new bearing and shaft, my breather system fitted, my powdercoated crossmember with adjustable arms and vibratechnic mounts, along with mike R spec coilovers....

So fitting all this should sort my problem also while the front diff is off for the sump i may fit the diff plate i have .... this should put me back working with a nice setup...

the boot is stripped atm too due to spoiler rubbing and is booked in next week for the boot and spoilers to be fixed and resprayed.... my colour coded rocker is fitted , STILL waiting on my carbon BLING after what seems like years!

Next i am considering taking the car off the road in a few months time stripping the underside getting it all done by my mate along with having some seam welding, ADJ top mounts for the front, rear strut brace welded in and some rust sorting .... all in plans just now need to decide what i want done get the top mounts to have steel bosses made to weld on the front. considering having mounts on the back too as my friend offered that too ...

will update with pics soon
