Great weekend and good to catch up with everyone.

 

well done mate on getting into the 11,s

 

Cheers Andy, just waiting on some video though.. or at least hoping someone has some!

 

Good job with the times Luca

Think about getting a Go Pro HD. The 1080p video is
http://gopro.com/cameras/hd-motorsports-hero-camera/

I was using one for the first time at the pod in my car.
Didn't get to see your run as I was in the cue myself. If id of known you didn't have a video cam fitted id of fitted it to your car for one of your runs.

 

I shall be sorting one, ive always used a mates ones who does the vids for me.

I couldnt be assed with faffing this time just wanted to get up there and get it up the strip without a fuss. Wish i could have seen it though


How did you get on ??

 

108 in the eigth!!! thats steaming along especially with the 2.1 60ft. well done again mate

 

2.1 60 feet???
man....

 

Road tyre still

Lots of improvement still to be found..

getting there though

 

Nice one mate i had forgot about it being painted that was a quick turnaround from the painters

 

you run 1.5 60feet...and run low 10

sure...

 

Indeed mate was only there a week.

Top job on it too, i've yet to scratch or chip it

 

Are you going to do something with the boost so that in 4th it runs more or such likes to get of the line better ?

 

Ran in low boost only on Sunday so just under 400hp but power/torque is delivered like an NA engine so no nasty boost spikes.

Wheelspun in 1st and 2nd then full grip in 3rd and hang onto 4th over the line.


Going forward it will be something like - reduce boost pressure in 1st 2nd then maybe increase for 3rd and 4th or flip map to high boost when in 3rd and 4th. Im not too fussed at mo but that will be for using road/track tyre.

Fitting the slicks on I think it will be full boost only and maybe knock boost down for 1st gear only.

 

Cool mate awesome acheivment with this car

 

Car looked amazing in the flesh on Sunday! Think we need to knock up some sort of 1/4mile table on here as we now have an 11 second fwd uk car! Woop woop!

Also would be handy to see how many other fast cars we have on here!

 

i was at santa pod on sunday mate to witness this amazing quarter mile run , well done dude

 

FAST CAR!

wow. congrats Luca.

 

loved this mate , i noticed you had a camera on your roof too .

 

Would make sense to have some form of table somewhere. Have to start a post up and people can just amend / add to the list as we go.

Thanks Jamie.

Cheers Lee, how did you get on yesterday win again!

 

Naturally

although someone went faster than me in the JP1!?!??!?! and that NEVER happens!

he must have cheated!

I was over 5 secs quicker than him in single seater.... 'order restored'

 

Nice one... and how dare he !

The line up looked amazing though

 

Made my day seeing this on sunday, awsome car Luke

 

congratulations for the time. Do you run this with your semi´s?

 

From chatting to him on FB on sunday evening, I'm pretty sure he had more than a semi over it

Well done Luke, Rob's still up for battle up the strip

 

Glad you enjoyed it, tell me you have a video??

Thank you mate, I ran with Yoko A048R's in 205 50 15

DWEEB!

Tell Rob im ready when he is

 

Congrats on the time mate! Looked and sounded awesome!!

 

Good to see you and Sweets breifly mate, your turn next year if you get it done.

 

Watched your runs on Sunday and it looked (and sounded!) very capable. Was really pleased for you when the 11.74 popped up and knew you'd call it a day after that.

The dent guy we use (my cousin) was impressed when he removed a couple of dents from your car last week. He didn't stop going on about it till I said, 'Its ok Jim, I read all about it on an internet forum' lol.

 

Maybe! We will see!

 

He did good

 

I know its not a video but there has got to have photos of your car up the strip on this site.

Yer it was good I had a fun day. Last time I run my car up the strip was about 5 years ago when it was 1.6 CVH turbo. But I am happy with how it ran out of the box. Managed a 13.4793.
Nothing was striped from the car, still had a 16" spare alloy in the boot lol.

 

Just looked at those and choose the best to be emailed - pricey fuckers

Thanks for the heads up.
Good to see you getting out in the car then mate

 

Your car sounds the nuts on boost watched it run a few times!

 

think we have a 9 sec uk car albeit a vauxhall

 

Congrats on your time Luca wish i had been there to see it.
Dean's now busy in the garage playing with the fiesta lol.
Oh and get them slicks on it !!
