Quote from: carlos;503657who has the quickest road legal rx7 on the quater mile?

That depends on the interpretation of Road Legal.
Fastest rx7 that\'s used on the road as well as the strip without any weight removal, I think is Blitzboy 11.2 @128 I think
Next I think is mine 11.3 @132

Quote from: sadgoth;503659"road legal" is a bit of a weird one! I\'d say cuurently on the road Chris Impey\'s car is the fastest "road legal" FD

I dont think chris"s is now road legal,james is currently the fastest street legal car with a 10.5.My car still has a mot and tax,abeit needing a couple of silencers it still has a full interior and you can drive it on the road.Ross"s drag car was in fact street legal when he set his 9.1.What is the definition of "street" though?Personally i would say James has the fastest street car at the moment:cheers

Silverman that was 10.5 @ what mph do you know??
What\'s your quickest at the mo?
Loud exhaust effects people different ways, the last time I got pulled in mine the officer (male was complaining about the noise and was trying to tell me I had a blow exhaust).
The next time I was accelerating down a road quite quick, came to a set of traffic lights where a police office (female) gave me a smile a wink and a nod of the head), and there was me expecting a speeding ticket??

I think it was 133mph terminal,so in theory both you and i could do 10 sec passes fairly easily,my best so far is a pathetic 12.1,but every time i drive it on the strip i feel more confident.To be honest the car is capable of a 9 and that is what i will be striving for with full interior this year.:Thumbsup!

well ok, Chris\' prob wouldn\'t get an MOT since the Jericho box (and associated transmission tunnel mods), but, when he did his 9.9 (ish) he still had the H pettern box and the car was technically still road legal....

Someone else in my car could probably do 10 sec quite easy, but not me trust me I\'ve tried. my best 60ft is still only 1.9 sec.
A change of tyre and clutch may well help though. When you next hitting the strip.

stripped some of the interior this year which is rear seats at the moment and passenger seat, dont think I will take anymore out as I still want to use is it on the road at weekends

The big question is when are you going to hit the strip Mark??

2 or 3 weeks depending on weather and family,i am going to give it a couple more trys on mt et streets,then try mt slicks and launch control,i cant seem to build enough boost on the line to get moving,my best 60ft is 1.8,but i really need 1.4-1.5 to get moving then the let the power do the rest.In this game it all about the first 1/8th,that is where chris impey is so good.:cheers

I\'ll have to get mine weighed at a bridge, but 1280kg car weight + driver 106kg, is not pretty reading.

Well that is down to Tim really! The car is still in its 3/4 complete state at the front of the workshop. TBH Brian, you probably see it more than I do! Tim tells me it is the next car to be completed so who knows???

Is the front of the garage good or bad?You have got to make the strip this year surely:rollin

Front is muc better than the back typically but not in this particular case.
Mark you might try going down there with a box of quality streets or something, once Tim has a mouth full of chocolates he\'ll do anything for you.
Saying that it hasn\'t got me my rx7 racing videos back and we must be stretching about 6-7 years now.
No in all seriousness tell him if it\'s not sorted within the next 2 weeks you\'ll be popping down with Tina. Them lot are scared as hell of her.

Well I spoke to Tim yesterday and he\'s finishing off the red FC (Mike\'s I think) then he\'s on to mine, soI\'ll chase him mid week and see where we are.

Things that need doing still:
1) finish building exhaust
2) fit the radiator in place
3) mount twin fans under rad
4) fit and plumb-in wastgate
5) map mircotech

I think that is it... I hope
