Indeed it does - not that I really need any more though!

Hope to have intake manifold/plenum and exhaust manifold fabrication completed in the next couple of weeks. Thats the last of the stuff that should hold things up for any length of time (famous last words!!). We can think about bolting in the ported motor then and starting to put stuff together with a view to turning the key. Of course it will take longer than envisaged (!) but I\'ve waited this long, its a case of however long it takes - end of.

Look forward to the warmer days at pod, hopefully we should get some good turn outs and see lots of good times being run over the coming year.

I thought it sounded high? usually expect to hear an FD unadvertently bouncing off the limit between early shifts due to skiddy pants but mello yello just gets up and hauls!

I think there will be plenty cars faster than mine this year mate, but I certainly look forward to days at Pod later in the year.

Appreciate the kind words tho.

Hi guys,

Got a 13.39 @ 109.8mph at the TSC@ RAF Woodbridge today. I have a slip but as you might have seen in other thread camera has given up ghost so will post it up when have a new one/repaired.

Street tyres, twin turb\'s, lot o wheelspin:D

cheers

just curious, what power you got scuttle?

Haven\'t done a power run yet mate, had the car set up at WGT but their rollers only go up to 200bhp (i think) so didnt get the bhp (real reason is i was so knackered when i dropped car off i forgot to ask but then i found this out about the rollers at a later date!).

Its had Power FC, downpipe, cat back zaust, and apexi filters so id imagine its around the 300 mark at the flywheel, when the standard intercooler isnt heat soaked! (my next upgrade....)

first run i drove up to line and air intake temp was about 50+ when i was at starting line and i got a 14.12 (some of it was bad start as 1st ever run)
second run i left bonnet up, pushed the car till i was a couple from front and had an intake temp of low 30\'s and run the 13.39 sp def makes lot o difference.

Sorry, that was a bit of a long answer to a simple question :D

richrx

nah, exellent answer. full marks:D

sounds a good time for the power

think there might be a little more in her, had a run with a great launch but missed 3rd gear (crunch!) and still ended up with 13.51, roll on santa pod..:D

richrx
