Also glad to see you traded the Supra for a more realistic driving experience ...

That should get Yunus back!

Bet your set up for auto gear changes too!

 

Nick, knew you would only be able to stay quiet for so long before a rant was iminent!! Your dump valve is pants though, you wanna get some serious psi through there you do!

 

Bajie,

Yeah but with the auto I can blow you away AND have a hand free for a scoobie snack. A manual's definity needed though, I'm getting fat....


Spence,

You both know where to strike where it hurts. Anyway about that 150mph rev limit of yours...


Keep to the wet twisty stuff to guarantee 1st place guys.


Nick

 

Don't forget to close the Taga next time or a set of ear muf will need to be purchased...

Some one further up made a coment about pansy auto's....

 

If thats how you want to play it, man I`m gonna kick you`re scooby ***** at POD!;-)

And yes it is an auto!

 

And Bajie, it may be an auto, but at least the supra side windows dont go POP! at 120mph!

A supra auto, made a snack out of a Porsche turbo at a track day, and a scooby wouldnt even come close!

 

Mr Leigh, yes the fun banter does make you keep coming back!...ahhh what would we do with out scooby owners?;-)

 

Spence,

Indeed an oversight on my part, it was enough to make your ears bleeeeed!!

A manual non-targa is clearly needed and I'll have one as soon as I can find a garage that can get it's act together....


Nick

 

Who is going to Santa Pod on the 20th Feb? I think I will post a challenge on the RS BBS for Cosworth owners.

 

Don't they make Supra Snacks then?

Glad you have time for a Hand Shandy while you're driving though.

Yunus, a '98 Impreza WILL defeat a Porsche.
Don't know what model as he was behind me.

Invitations for the RSOC would be good for February, though it seems like some of our auto Supra drivers are playing with other pods while they drive ...

 

nothing to say.... just wanted to be number 100

Don't they make Supra Snacks then?

nope havent heard of it, but we like to munch
scooby snaks, they are more tastier!

Glad you have time for a Hand Shandy while you're driving though?

whats are u trying to say??

Yunus, a '98 Impreza WILL defeat a Porsche.
Don't know what model as he was behind me.

Really? I dont think so, a scooby can no way
defeat a porsche!

Invitations for the RSOC would be good for February, though it seems like some of our auto Supra drivers are playing with other pods while they drive ...

It would be interesting to see how a 4wd escort cossie compares to a 4wd scooby!

 

I have beat a couple of 911 Porkers from the lights. I have also been left for dead on a dual carriage way by a 911 Turbo. Have a look at the RS owners thread to see how I went against the Cosworths at the Pod.

 

Yunus
Why is it so difficult for you to believe a Scooby can beat a Porsche 911?
The 0-60 times are not that different are they? But you can say it was down to the driver if you want ...
I think you have real problems with Scoobies but don't know why.
And my windows do not go pop!

 

Relax Bajie, dont get you`re self fried up!

its just some light fun as someone pointed out before...nothing personal!

yunus

 

yanus,,sorry yunus, if your dislike of scoobys is so deep seated why the hell do you keep visiting a scooby dedecated bbs????????????????

I tried to leave but my fans Mr leigh and co did not let me, what else can I say man??

 

And there was I thinking you were trying to find a stretch of road without bends in it so you could better appreciate the finer qualities of your vehicle ...

 

Bajie,

Don't you start as well!!

 

does anybody know the the number of the advertising complaints commision?because it`s all a lie i tell you!!!the car infront is definatley a scoob:-)

 

Dear All,
Just thought I would add my "two penneth" worth!

Yunus,
I was gonna say that you were definitely going to get a wake up call if you thought it was easy and just a matter of planting your foot down with a high powered rear wheel drive car, as it takes a hell of a lot of skill / experience to get the balance of wheel-spin / grip right to get a perfect launch; but then you said you had an auto -which takes just as much skill as a girlie 4wd car (i.e. zip)

However, you have kept me entertained the last hour or so with reading your comments (you reminded me so much of myself in my "younger" posting days! But I am with Branners on this subject - roll on the next track day where we can kick some butt(providing there aren't too many corners allegedly, so Snetterton should do nicely for a start... ).

However, I am mostly looking forward to Donnington and following Stef round for a few laps to learn the track before leaving him in the distance.....!

Hasta la vista girls, you'll ALL be kissing my a-R-S-e!
LOL
Mike
PS That includes you Nightmare - bring out that beast of yours so I can really claim me a scalp!

 

I have never said to launch a rear wheel drive car, especially a supra is easy, yeah a 4wd scooby is, but not a supra thats where skill comes in!;-)

 

with pleasure mate, snetterton is quite a fast track with long straights! make sure you`ve taped up the rear quarters with cargo tape, we dont want them popping out now do we?

I know donington quite well, so shouldnt be a problem!

Just for those who get stressed, chill these comments are just light fun!;-)

 

Yunus,

Did you know Mike Rainbirds car isnt a scooby is a FORD. A slightly modified cosworth if memory serves me correctly. Its 420 bhp and he keep telling us he has the dyno sheets to prove it

I thought is was only fair to tell you

Going for the Big 500 this year Mike ??

cheers

chrisp

 

yeah, thats great news!! I like the Cosworths, and always will do! I remember seeing a whole heap of them at the RS owners meeting at donington some years back....

Mike, how does your car compare with the scooby?

 

crisp, the Cosworth YB series engines can be tuned to give crazy power, especially the YBD
RS500 setup. One of those things tweeked out to the max is just awesome.

 

Yunus,
Send me your e-mail and I'll post you the full spec sheet and dyno chart....
Mike

 

Yunus,
Ask Stef, he's been in it in low boost in damp conditions....!

Put it this way it eats bikes 750cc and below... (once rolling of course). Standing quarter in 12.64s @ 115mph. 172mph top speed with only 385bhp at time before running out of room (verified in August's Revs, as it was the winner of the top speed shoot-out) - So, punk, do ya feel lucky!
LOL
Mike
PS Chrisp 450bhp is the aim by middle of this year with some SERIOUSLY trick technology behine it....

 

Is everyone still of the opinion we should try to match "like for like" at Santa Pod?
Just out of interest, if it takes so much skill to launch a RWD why did you buy an auto.
Same as buying diet coke if you ask me!
Mr Rainbird, any chance of going in your car if the diff stays alive?
Went in a 400 [allegedly] bhp cosworth once.
Scary. In a F**k me I like it kind of way.

 

I can honestly say that Mr Rainbowman's Cossie is awesome, but that doesn't mean I won't be attempting to add his motor to my list of 'Cossie Kills' on the track.
I have never been in a car with such ferocious mid-gear acceleration in my life, and I would hate to imagine it in the dry.
Still completely pants round bends though, just like the Supra!!!!

Stef.
