Cheers mate, need to get yours up there too

Nice one, Dean's will be stonking when back out, im looking forward to cheering him on at Classic Ford. Will you be there?

Slicks will go on sometime this year, but not until i've had some fun on track first.

 

Yeah deans will be one to watch but i have told him he's going to have to be carefull and get some things done/made properly its gone way beyond a throw together now.

hopefully i will be at classic ford but i dont think my car will make it

You do right to enjoy your car its something i have never really done with mine hence i have lost abit of enthusiasum right now. (excuse the spellin lol )

 

bring them to classicford and i will try them out mate.

 

Couple of pics with some action shots of a 120+ mph arch liner




2nd run of the day 12.4@128 with an open door




Arch liner deploid for faster terminal! ( see that huge piece mid air )

I thought it was a jacking point cover, that got wiped out when the liner hit it, I later learnt.

 

Did it mark/scratch the car as it left ? that would just be like the thing after fresh paint

 

No mate it didnt the other side did though, it melted and flicked /sprayed down the side.

Good ole wash in v-power soon took it off ( Rainbird advised on that ) BUFTY after all!

 

happy days

 

That pic with the arch liner is funny as hell, never manage to get pics of things happening at that moment

Good stuff!

 

i reckon you will be hitting a 10 on them slicks matey

 

You never know mate, when you up Pod next in the new car

 

il pm ya when cars ready and we arrange a weekend if ya like matey.

He went brands today with trolley!

 

did it all go well

 

Have not spoken to him I'm sure he will be along shortly!

 

just text him, car performed awsome, I wonder how his driving was lol

 

How come youve got arch liners anyway luke?! they weigh tonnes

 

Nice to meet ya at brands today fella make sure you book up that evening track day we spoke about

 

Do it mate il be there to see you rip up that strip!

More than likely yes mate

My driving was average as always, did a nice bit of grass cutting though coming into Cooper Straight
Hitting 140 coming upto Paddock Hill, which in a Fiesta is a tad

They were there to protect the oil cooler and the air filter the other side.

Likewise Pete, nice to have a chat. Catch you at the next one

 

carbon arch liners FTW then lol

glad to see you giving it some luke!

cant wait to see it again, you going to combe this year??

Lil video from Brands.

 

 

Sounds awesome as always Luke. Just walks past everything on the straights

What sort of changes have been made to the suspension? It's a miracle it manages to put any of the power down to be honest!

 

nice video, any of you driving?

he only has 1 moment

whats the issue with down shift? he not used to it?


really does pedal on the straight, fair play

 

Running a nice smooth power curve in low boost so grips in 3rd -4th-5th 6th.

Needs front antil roll bar and an inline bias valve for the rear brakes next.

Mate is doing the vid of me driving I believe too.

Down shift is bloody hardwork. Just takes time/practice really but not easy when your trying to keep the thing under control.

 

do you need to use clutch at all?

i know you can but, can you just slam it in?

 

should imagine you just need to balance revs

mine i dont need clutch (drives smoother without) saying that i have just busted the box

 

ah ok

in the car in your sig? is that fully complete now?

 

What's been done so far with it? Seen it has adjustable top mounts, and obviously different dampers, but was wondering about lower arms and things like that, and the rear end too.

 

yeah one in sig and it was working until box let go

should be back soon tho, new box is being inspected now

 

get that carbon plate fixed in place!!!

fair doo's jim can pedel the trolley, totally hammering everything in sight!!

Time Attack is calling Luke!!!

it is,,,, you destiny!!!

 

gus, cool, cant wait to see it at a track day

 

Nice vid mate. Does it suffer with understeer? Is that due to no arb? When you next at brands mate? I'll make sure I come over

What did you think of brands?

 

Looks like its absolutely flying there Luca!

Awesome

 

Excellent video mate


Brian

 

Going up the box you dont need to, just take foot of throttle (mili second) and choose your gear.

Just Gaz Golds on the rear and standard rear anti roll bar.

Up front its rose jointed lower arms, adjustable top mounts etc.
Although NO front anti roll bar and it needs one.


Will be bonding that in place shortly mate.

No TA for me mate, car needs a pasting first and I need practice on different circuits.

Great circuit Ron.
Yes needs one fitted tbh, as its struggles a bit on the bigger corners.

Cheers Chip

 

Shame Rob bailed when he did, you two would have been good sparring partners!

 

few shots o took from central day mate. car looks great

 

fucking epic

 

i thought that, but he looks to be running around the 59sec mark which going off last years times so comparable tyres he would almost be last.

we know theres alot of suspension work(arb for example) that needs to be done on the car though and im sure if he had a go at it, he would run much wider front tyres
