dont think u will need to worry about me beating u on the 18th at crail still havnt got my front mount intercooler yet so car wont have all her stuff on for the 18th. Intercooler is in the country but as it has been easter weekend customs wont clear it so u could say im a bit ill still be up though i would like to see how it goes against urs anyway see u on the 18th m8

 

I don't think I'm in the running for a serious 1/4 mile car Kev, it is a compromised, fairly comfy, quietish, air conditioned, full weight, road tyred, standard looking daily driver with compromised 6 speed gear ratios for drag, and I don't have a spare car these days, and don't really want to get one. So I'm not going to notch up the 100+ launches I would need to get my times really good because although the gearbox is strong, I don't want to keep dumping the clutch and putting 400 lbft through it having spent £4000 on gearbox, clutch, flywheel on a car only worth double that. I think T-uk is going on 18th so he should give you some sport

I'll leave you the 121 mph terminal to chase though

 

Next excuss is

Dougie

 

just have to see how i go then on the 18th , last time i was up t-uk just beat us by 100th of a second think it will be the other way round this time though with the car being mapped. you still going to go a run up though john???

 

I might go up with T-uk, but Crail isn't really my cup of tea

I should get my *** to Knockhill and really trash some drivetrain

 

bad news kev , was looking forward to seeing your times. so are you running the 20g, remapped ecu and 550's?

I will probably take a run up. I have still not fitted my new clutch. I am getting rid of those fulda tyres to see if I can get under 2seconds 60 foot , the only problem is I am trying 215/45r17 tyres which may be a bit big for my power with taller UK gearing , will just need to see but traction off the line should be better if the clutch holds.

I want jb to go up and do 1/2 dozen runs , with my new tyres as I think it will see him in the high 11's. I do not think anyone else in the UK has done this with a 6 speed yet. I do not think he would need many runs as his 60foots are 1.8's anyway.

 

So is Kevs car John ! Get it out !!

Andy

 

A little birdy tells me that John is actually fitting a new engine before the next crail meet... details here....

Johns new engine

 

LOL, might be a little tail happy for a daily driver

 

this is a match i wanna watch lol


john b when john h drives your car at launch u will have more chance otherwise kev will sneak it


but 400 ft torque, hmm kev mate u need to run alot of boost and do get that gearbox shotpeened first

all the best to u guys

 

Moses, I was getting better 60' times than T-uk, but he was doing better thereafter. I take my time over changes after the launch in sympathy to the gearbox - the synchros are probably the weakest link and demand some respect.

 

cool coz the reason i said it was remember when john harely had your car at glenrothes, f**k he can launch when he beat evo7barry, that was a launchers dream

 

Yes I just had a new gearbox in then as well

 

bloody hell didnt u tell him haha , nutter

mate have u shotpeened it or something now with that torque it can go again easily

and what clutch u using

cheers

 

mines aint fully ready yet chaps but ill give it my best shot on sunday

bloody customs its all there fault my car aint going to be fully ready

if my gearbox gives up the ghost i can always get a dog box what my m8 uses on his group n rally car down kilmarnock to me 10k

 

lol 10k is a rip off i will get u one for 4k


modena or glebe your choice and also loads of secondhand ones available for u too mate , just check the rally forums

 

who do you think fitted the new box moses

the new box came from alang so I knew it would not have had a hard life , very clean and polished though

 

lol doesnt surprise me u ever felt his soft hands and he is surely addicted to mister sheen and other polishes lol

 

I'll take your word on that

 

lol dont tell me u aint ever shook the mans hand lol


its a lil girlie hand haha

not just that i was parked and talking to him and he just couldnt stop cleaning my doors or ledges he is an cleaning addict

 

Moses, if you weren't so cool you wouldn't get away with half of what you say

 

moses when u getting that motor of urs back m8???????

what u hoping for out of it when its all finished?????

 

lol john b i found u cute too so cuddly and feminine but im still straight, nothing wrong with fancying a man as long as u aint gay lol



kev mate hopefully soon , hmm i wish i could do good quarters if i dont i should hang myself

maybe with good launching on a standard gearbox i hope under 11 mate well hope so

 

Well moses, if you ain't gay you might get a pleasant or unpleasant surprise one day if you play with someone who is That would quieten you down a bit I think that is all that it is PC to say ROTFLOL

 

lol i know who i mess around with lol i can spot a gayman from miles and will never entertain him hee hee

 

Moses will know what a good sh***ing is first time he lines that EVO up at crail alongside Kev (either of the Kevs)

Andy

 

lol probably

 

I shed a tear when i waved you both away that night knowing you were going to abuse it mercilessly.

 

 

I know... you're house is in one hell of a state!!
Your wife made up for it though...
