Terminal speed, target 100mph. Entry Rules.

[shaunwil]

lovely, march would sound alot of fun, i\'ll hopefully get into the 12\'s with mine. Have to get back up the fastest stock twins league table !

Once you realise that the bo**ocks that people spout about the engines not being reliable and actually drive one for real there isn\'t anything else that can match a fd or fc for bangs for bucks especially the fc. Amazing what power you can get out of them really !

well I am to far from playing as rusted out and twisted shell so will have to sit it out I will save what I can from her and maybe be ready for RS4 or 5
what shell I do to my N/A engine I have anouth time to get it right anyway

good luck all I am looking forwoud to it

I\'ll have a go. Mine\'s a virtually standard vert so will be a good benchmark for you all!

Turbo II vert (about 50K on 2nd engine)
Stainless steel exhaust (still with cat though)
no other mods as far as I know

See you there

[Prof]

Nice one easylife - I met you at Brooklands I think.

Do you know if vert owners have to have any safety stuff in for this ?

I heard a rumour about roll cages or something - don\'t want to spoil the line of the car though.

If I\'m allowed to play I have:

89 Vert
Full racing Beat with no CAT !
HKS Induction
Blitz ECU (no fuel cut, no rev limit)
Walborough Fuel pump
Koni shocks
17" OZ superleggara\'s running 225/45 Eagle F1\'s
Engine with 16000 on since rebuild
Knackered clutch at moment - see other post  :reallymad

Might have done (I have the bits - it\'s a time thing) :   :Hammer
replacement ARC intercooler - still top mount  (does this disqualify ?)
Greddy throttle body inlet compression tube
Fuel Pump rewire

[grinder]

i nearly bought an ARC topmount for mine - but didnt bother .. i kick myself now as he only wanted £75 for it

not sure if im running or not to be honest - i bet its gonna be packed and i really cant be bothered waiting inline for 20 mins then to run

we shall see though

and Prof , if you keep the ARC off till afterwards you should be ok

Rule : Turbo cars must run with the Top mount intercooler in place.

[Prof]

Rule : Turbo cars must run with the Top mount intercooler in place.

Grinder - are you saying we have to run with the orignal \'George Forman\' in place ?     ...after all, the ARC is still a top mount :yes

[Prof]

Just got ordered me tickets for RSIII, and also asked about requirements for cars doing the 1/4.


Vert owners must wear a lid - you can rent one on site. :Viking

He also mentioned a container to catch any leaky coolant  :guinness

 
Apart from that its all on.

Thing is the last few drags off the lights have been crap - so I need to practice  :Giggle :3gears-rh

I will be keeping the stock interwarmer on for now

[grinder]

i cant wait

all fun and games and see\'ing a few FC runs ( i hope !! )

Stu

[Prof]

Still wandering whether to put the ARC on - or will that disquailify me from the FC challenge even though this is still a TMIC.

Actually, because I am a lazy sod, this will not get done until after RSIII. :Snoring

Perhaps better to benchmark the car before all the mods go on in any case, as I have new toys to fit later this year

From what I could calculate, you need 280 BHP at the fly (assuming 18% losses) to get to 100Mph in 1/4 mile.  That\'s an ET in the high 13\'s.  Problem is how much of your rev range has good power output  

If the weather dried up I could go out with the Gtech and practice...  :rolleyes:

[grinder]

my main prob is the mo is the new clutch - its very hard to get used to and if you try and launch the car sounds like its ripping itself in half ( my poor diff ) - i have never heard so many strange noises from it

seeing this is a speed challenge - i can baby it off the line - then go for it - rather that drag launches ( which will never happen with this clutch )

still needs some bedding in yet ... that will be fun

grabs great when you are driving - but setting off - ekkkk - i wont say how many times i have stalled it !! LOL

Stu

[Prof]

I know what you mean - I\'m nursing my repaired pilot bearing - car seems quick at the moment though ! :Thumbs-up

MOT this Tuesday - and I noticed one of the rules is that it must have a valid MOT certificate - should pass, but I\'m putting the old lights back in just in case  

Should be some good fun !   :guinness  :Party  :Viking  :3gears-rh

[grinder]

im just hoping the weather holds out

the plan is to arrive on monday morning - get on the strip as soon as it opens !

my car feels like its pulling soo much better and im hitting boost better aswell

just need to get the set offs sorted now !!! LOL

Stu

[Prof]

So whens the next chance to do the drag runs ?

Also, from a thorough scan through the rules, it doesn\'t say we can\'t run bigger injectors and appropriate fuel management with more boost and water injection.

For a TII the rules appear to be:

Must have stock Turbo / Intercooler
Must have all usual street trim
Engine must not be ported

From what Carl said in his post, a good launch should see a 100mph in a modified vert - and looking at my timing sheets it was my starts that were crap on both runs.

Roll on the next challenge...

[jeted]

I may be abale to run next time but I have a question?

Rules of entry

6) N/A cars may run with mild street porting and Baffels removed.
7) All cars must run with stock FC gearboxes and differentials.


can I run a tII shell N/A

and can I use my LPG P Port engine project?

I know it says mild street porting but LPG preduces less power anyway so it woud be intresting to see results?

regards ed

[TRex]

Oh, here we go again...

 So chaps lets here all the excuses for this \'so called big event\' that was planned almost 10 moths ago not happening then!

 Same thing year after year with all the gun talk competetions..
