Matty you should be making low 12's if not 11's,we are done few and our best time has been 12.1838s/115mph with heavy new age wagon,without the LC and ALS.

We are hopping run in few weeks times if time allow

Jura

 

Don't think I'd hit 11's to be honest, a high 12 would be a great result for me.
Only using a P1 box so have to bare that in mind on the strip. I do have LC and AL but wouldn't use them, that would I fear be too much strain on the box and running gear.

 

What power do you have now Matty?

TX.

 

Hoping for the end of the month or beginning of April but time will tell.

I remember a few years back when you were ready to sell up as you thought your engine was letting go as it smoked a bit on startup. I take it that it's still the same engine you're running now? Aren't you glad a few of us convinved you to keep hold?

Is it still the SC50 you're running Haroon?

 

We made 400 on the dyno but conditions were shocking. We had to borrow a local dyno as Paul's is still not up and running. They only had one fan and that was the size of a bloody dinner plate. Temps were through the roof, car just couldn't make boost target. We didn't want to run it much on there because of this.
So got it out on the road in the cool air and made boost fine.
Need to get it over to RCM really for a run but to be fair I'm really not that bothered. Car feels fantastic at the min so don't really care where the figures are.

 

Kaz and Harry your cars sounded really good at full chat
I see I wasn't the only one battling with launching, the 60ft times are all above 2 seconds.
I was in the mica blue phase 1 classic, I did two runs 12.3 and a 12.2 at 114mph.
Had a good afternoon, just no traction.
Next time its no spoiler and some sticky tyres and I hope to see that ellusive 11.999999

 

Great times chap, what's the spec of your car ?

 

2.0l Running 420bhp on a 321 T at 1.6bar
I was hoping to see yours on track ?

 

Excellent, hope it all goes to plan

Yep thats the one, i was thinking of getting rid at the time as i had fitted a new journal bearing turbo that didn't really seem to gel with my engine; it smoked on startup and at idle after running off boost for a while, i thought the engine was on its way out and couldn't really afford a rebuild at the time so i hasitly posted a for sale thread to generate interest, since the new turbo she's been absolutely faultless!

Still running the SC50, what's your spec?

Nice motor you had there, excellent times unfortunately missed your runs, i must've been hunting down a helmet or sitting in the que

Give us a headsup when you're heading down next

Excellent times Jura, wouldn't mind tagging along next time you head down.

 

Give us a headsup when you're heading down next



Will do Bud,

 

Be sure to start a thread chaps when your thinking of a day at the pod..

 

Matt your car is not a shed, it looked a clean & well spec'd classic.

I still think I could get into low 12 with a good launch & removing all the junk from my boot lol. Good gear changes & some decent tyres would defo help.

Some videos my mate uploaded on youtube last night, i have watched them like a 100 times now

 

Kas,
How did your pal in the skyline end up doing ?

 

He got a 13.4 but was complaining about traction.

 

I've always seen skylines get fairly slow times given how much power they were running, not sure if t's always been down to traction or just how much they weigh as standard

 

Little video

1k more revs at the top end and more power with reliability.
These cars a temperamental at these levels.

 

Nice video Kas

 

Cheers

Another video of me & Harry - Harry got a second quicker there. First nervous run!

I can still smell that clutch Kas.....LOL.....

 

Lol

It must be fully bedded in now

 

i think kas car must be the rarest impreza model i have seen in the flesh and nice to see it driven like it should be!!!
makes me a little embarassed driving my garage queen but motivated me to chop it up for a front mount and new turbo so i can join in next time!!

 

My car running at totb 2010. Watch 1 min into the video.
