Dude I saw you go up against my mate in his MK2 3.2 turbo with haldex. You were wild off the line and it looked great mate, credit to you for building it fella.
Whats a respectable time then? Well done for getting it up there without the whole thing falling apart, Ill be honest and say I wasnt expecting it to last a whole 1/4mile.
Was good to see the mk2 yesterday Seriously tempted by a flocked dash, especially after touching one. Will have to get some overtime in and then I'll be in touch
Yeah, straight wheels all round would help there I feel That was by far my best run, and I was really pleased how well it did compared to that R32T considering the amount it cost me to build 6.8 to 60, 14.8(?) quarter, mate got a video of it on his phone that I'm waiting for. Loooaaaaads of room for improvement on that! I wasn't sure how it'd do on a hard launch myself so the fact it's still going now is amazing as far as I'm concerned Billy bargain, you knows you want it
Fair play, its alot of strain on everything launching it off the line, I dont like doing it in a normal car so one which id welded a engine into the back Id be worried. Are either of the engines well set up yet or just guess and feel of the pants stuff?
I told everyone that although the welding looks like crap it's plenty strong Did I speak to you at the show? I lost the spark on the front engine on Saturday morning, so I swapped everything between the 2 engines to try and diagnose the problem, and in doing so knocked all the ignition timing out a mile, so it was set up by ear which is obviously less than ideal Not to slag off a rival company, but they've made a bloody awful job of that Audi! You can see how sparse the coating is from a mile away!
Was really pished in the campsite and saw it there and liked stroking it and thought what a great idea...no stone chips
About lunchtime Sunday, as I was baking in the Sprint queue, I heard it turn over a fail to fire a couple of times... [:^(]
I imagine it looks ok at night, you can see the glue all over it where the flock hasn't grabbed properly (or it's just been a quick half a job) in daylight though! Yeah, there was quite a lot of that on the Saturday, we had it sorted within half an hour when more petrol arrived on Sunday though Need to bug my mate some more for these vids []
It was there, it drove down the strip - job done!! a true credit for you building it to a budget and it working (some of the time!)
Saturdays embarrassment losing to my mates Nova [:^(] [YOUTUBE]_nGF9EX9AcI[/YOUTUBE] Sundays much better show against a 600bhp 4wd R32 turbo [YOUTUBE]DeKVjqx2-GQ[/YOUTUBE] Can't wait to go again when I've sorted it out
Good to see this at inters! I was hoping you got a better time but still early days Are both engines running the same power? Sorry if its been asked but its a very long thread to go through again
Doubt it, front is 2.0 rear is 1.8, never had the rear on the rollers though so no idea what power it has. They were both well down on power at Inters though unfortunately Will be better next year, want to knock a second off my times
dude , the carbs would prob run a lot sweeter with proper trumpets , I found that when I fitted bike bodies to my rally car.. Otherwise , respect!!
