Did anyone run with a 2L engine in the sub 13sec classes?

Just curious as to how many 2.2/2.33/2.5+ engines ran..

(mainly because I now want one thanks to you lot! )

 

Yep, I did

 

 

whos was the scooby near the start line with the carbon bonnet and some performance web site on the side sills pmsl laughting the wife video'ed the run at the end and i waved bye bye to him and the people at the side of the wife were lol

 

Storm motorsport wasnt it??
was it a bit pants then? (is that your point above? hard to decipher it! )

 

I know Warren in the Mica Blue UK Impreza with is still in a std untouched 2.0 UK engine, albeit with bolt on mods, and ran 12.3@111
He chewed up 3rd gear though

 

as pi55ed as he might be, that has nothing to do with wether he had 2ltr or not

 

12.3 - wow. :
Warren just inched ahead of me last year I think one or two places.. got to mail him and ask him his spec

I must admit- nearly did 3rd myself, but went to 4th instead and buggered that run but hey.
it lives to fight another day

 

2.2, 11.59@123mph
453bhp and 407 torque @ 1.5bar

 

Oh, forgot to mention I got 12.63 @ 109mph (2.0 ltr with pretty simple mods: exhaust, filter and ecu)

 

AFAIK Colby with a 1995 WRX with front entry TD05, 440cc and STI8 Intercooler, decat and standard headers. He got a 12.72 on a standard WRX engine.

Eddie.

 

12.39 on a 2.5

 

12.37 on standard internals 2.2

 

Does anyone find the times they get at Elvington are better than Santa Pod?

Shimy.

 

Yes, because you get much better traction at Elvington on a RWYB than at S'Pod

 

How much better?

 

i had about 0.2 second quicker at elvington a few years back

 

Cheers mikee. Good runs btw

 

Bob, I found that after being able to repeatedly get a spot on launch at Elvington and 12.3 @ 118, I couldn't stop my car suffering from wheelspin and axle tramp that led to it jumping out of gear on three runs I tried at S'Pod only 2 weeks later...I vowed never to bother with another RWYB at S'Pod after that, despite Elvington being 10 times the distance away from me

 

Not quite in the sub 13's! Got a 13.08, 2.0 bugeye sti with about 340bhp.

Some damn quick scoobs yesterday, very impressive!

 

What's axle tramp (isn't he the scruffy lead singer of guns & roses)..?

Jason

 

It's where the wheels start to bounce because they are spinning so hard and yet trying to make traction, because the suspenion is pushing them down, the forces are so strong that the hub assembly and engine are twisting on their mountings and then springing back to their normal position when the wheel leaves the ground... on my car this resulted in the gearbox moving about enough for the shifter mechanism to bang against the transmission tunnel knocking it out of gear I've since swapped the engine mounts for something a little stronger...and will be looking at uprating the pitch stopper (link between the engine and bulkhead that sits under the standard top mount intercooler) for drag work!

 

 

glad to know it wasnt all dominated by the big boys

 

what colour is ure bug did u race me?

 

Our car is still a 2 litre and ran 12.8 at 106mph, even with 19 inch wheels on it. This is proof that you can have the looks aswell as the power.

Maybe with 17s on the times may increase, any suggestions?

 

Our scooby is still a 2ltre and run 12.8 at 106mph, even with 19inch wheels on it.This is proof that you can have the looks as well as the power. Our company believes that you need style aswell as power. WWW.StormMotorsport.co.uk.

 

take the 19's off and put some smaller lightwieght wheels on and who knows
Style is for the street.
Shootout is all about the racing. (look at non-bling ness of the CRD car for evidence! )

 

someone who's car I mapped (PFC) with td05, hybrid FMIC, 440 injectors and otherwise standard 1993 WRX engine did 12.84@106 on sunday.

 

IT WASNT YOUR CAR A5HYV
