Liam / Hayward build thread part 3

[cona2k]

A new thread for the 2014 rocket
Also I would like to make a massive thank you to Hayward rotary for all there support in this first and very experimental year.

In addition a Huge thanks to Bkoncepts for their sponsorship for the 2014 car.

Bkoncepts (NOLTE kitchens) have also offered a huge discount if you quote "drag car" when buying a new luxury German made kitchen or bedroom
//www.bkoncepts.co.uk/
0845 2702007
They have designed and installed kitchens for many celebrity\'s and also offer high quality kitchens and bedroom suites that are better quality and cheaper than wickes, homebase , B&Q etc
Another Bonus they are located next door to Demon Tweeks so worth a nosey.

Anyway Back onto the build thread

hers last years car




After Last year we have decided to change a few things. first of all was to go lighter and a new look

carbon rear hatch and bumper


carbon wings


carbon front bumper


bigger turbo and maybe little bit of gas....... maybe


Comparison between the old hks t51 kai and the new blower




but not sure what one we might use yet
but we might just use 4 and be done with it


All going well we should be hopefully ripping out the stock box and going for something a lot stonger and quicker and changing the engine.

Lot of changes has happened considering this time last year here she was......

This season should be great, I will be able to bring along my child to helpe push the car around and take pictures:) how much lighter are those carbon bits

[clive]

Well done on the sponsorship deal Liam that will obviously help tremendously

Good luck out there for next year :Thumbsup!

Thats a big turbo! Is that the same turbo that Carl has in his carage?

Well, good job Car looks awesome

[cona2k]

We are still debating on what turbo to use. All good going huge but it will need to work too.
And grant I\'m sure any child could push it when we have finished the diet

Oh and yes if you have been to Carl\'s workshop then likely you would have seen the giant snail ........one of many

[Will66]

That turbo is probably bigger than the motor! I guess the nitrous system is there to spool that beast on the line? Is it going to be around the minimum weight for the class?

I think we still wont be light enough for the class.
Still deciding which turbo we are going to use at the moment.

[Grant Monkhouse]

What\'s weights limit? 1048kg plus driver?

[Grant Monkhouse]

Was looking at wrong class rules!! There\'s not much difference from the 3 classes weight wise. Have to double check what street class weight is.

[shaunwil]

Awesome progress, should be a very good 2014

Liam, after august, how did your season go? Best times?

Yes, I thought that massive turbo is the one in Carl´s shop. That thing is massive

Best time was 10.4 and 140mph terminal
Was only running 1.2 bar with a stock box that wouldn\'t hit 3rd until rpm dropped .
Also poor launch because we didn\'t want to break the box.
Next year should be drag box with more power and less weight so my maths should say we will hit 9s in no time
