Lupo Straightliner. PPC Mag Feature Preview :)

Was great chatting to you Sambo and your car is cracking mate! This is only going to get better.

Gurds

 

Well what can i say about this w-end apart from how cracking it was! Great show for Lupo-s 1st outting

Very very happy with how it performed, never broke anything whole w-end and each time i driven it harder car responded with better times

Apart from 2-3 runs i forgot to switch haldex pump on so car was useless fwd lol

And gutted i had a failed start against Jordy due to some clutch creep at start line fouling the start line lights, damn!

But all in all great performance and best time achieved was 11.2 @127 Mph without any power adders so these times will come down fair bit once Nitrous is on

Thanks to everyone who came and said hi and praised the car

 

great weekend Sam the Lupo performed fantastic

 

11.2@127mph, I reckon there is a 10.9 in there at the pod!

Saw the monster parked up at the rear of our stand. Did not get around to taking a picture though .

 

See Sambo in action here..

Been waiting for video all day! Very impressed by this.

 

Amazing to follow this build for a year or so and then see it in motion. I caught the 10:37 run on Sunday morning from the top of the stands.



Apologies for the quality and the random **** crack.

EDIT: Found an external view of the 11.28 run.

Sweeeeet!!!!!

 

was looking for you all day but never saw you anywhere, really wanted to have a look around this! Looks like it was going very well in the videos I've saw, you pulling off in 2nd or got a dog leg 1st gear?

 

2nd gear set off experiment

Shame you couldnt find me Dave, we'l catch up at Curby if you are coming

 

So following a cars first outing which proved to be very successful without any issues and shassis coping very well with moderate abuse of the line i have now installed NO2 as a power adder so i can push the car harder next event which will be VW ACTION in august











I am using Wizard of NOZ kit which includes their own controller Maximizer which is a very clever bit of kit with many variables adjustable

I'v put in 75 BHP jets in there but for todays test i have programed controller for a gentle ramp up of Nitrous delivery and only 60% max delivery so basically about 40 Bhp worth of gas to see what kind of difference it makes

Found a quiet road and went for it

Well all i can say its WOW!

Spool was instant and car accelerated like a bullet

Racelogic Performance box recorded 1.03 G on acceleration, 30mph-50mph in 1.2 sec and 40mph-60mph in 1.7 sec and that was with gear change 2nd to 3rd







To put that into perspective 3 cars i found on tinterweb that can match those figures (30-50 mph) are Bugatti Veyron, Lambo Diablo 5.7 SE and McLaren F1

Very happy with that if i may say

See you at vw action

 

Oh lordy momma!

 

This gets more extreme everytime you update it! lol

 

If it went round corners you'd be in trouble nigelol

 

Oh it goes round corners....






.....Not very well though...

 

Sambo shoots and misses
Nige is safe for now

Mental work as usual it doesn't just make you grin lol

 

A day graft on Lupo turns it into a track weapon

If you dont stop teasing i may just do this for Curby!

Put arb-s on

Add negative camber front and rear, do wheel alingment

Put 312mm Brakes on

Job done

 

But that's just not fare you can't possibly have a car that can tick all the boxeslol
You'll get nige saying it's not all about power soon it's about usability and delivery and driver skill lol

This isn't inflammatory is it ??? lol

A straight liner and track car with little modification our holy grail ?
