hey garry

seen you at totb2, didnt say hi though. I was expecting to see you doing the 1/4 and track, surely you would have been very quick:D:D

on another note, who washed your car:eek: lol only joking it still looked awsome:D

who were the other 7ns there. were they all FDUK? i liked the red ported one sounded wicked:D 13.29 1/4 not bad.

After seeing these pics I really want to get these doors. They would also be a great help as I am 6ft3" tall and trying to get out of the FD in a parking space is murder:D

Gary are the doors hinged or ar they on ram type lifter as the RE ones?

Gary....top top top job!!!

I think lambo style doors suit the FD3 down to the ground.

Excellent:cool

Dan!!

they are on rams, and believe it or not they make it slightly more awkward to get in and out and im only 5\'10"
although in car parks you dont have the problem of the doors opening right out although the easy fix to this is take 2 parking spaces up, plenty of room for doors then. The door when lifted up still is in front of you so can only exit out the rear half of the door area. I think you would find it ni on impos at your ht. Look at first.

Nice one Gary - lookin bloody good!

Does look good, anyone thought about roof hinged doors so they lift up?

a lot of work fitting the rams etc into the roof, would look good tho.

The red ported one is Geff\'s (RE:Worx), half-bridgeport motor built by Hayward Rotary. It ran a quickest on the day of 12.37, not 13.29

Couldnt get it to make more than 13psi boost though :mad:

I drove it back from york - lots of fun

interesting tangle with a (presumably replica!) D-type Jag. Thing was real quick, still with me at 6k in 4th. Had to wind her right out in 5th to really put some distance between us

sorry poor memory:rolleyes: what boost should it run? and what power was it running at 13psi? i thought about 400-450

g11ary · August 06, 2003, 03:20:44 PM

174 mph

Any thing between about 7 and 13psi usually I think. But Geff was bitten by the go faster bug after a few runs and not blewing her up - so did away with all boost control solenoids. Still didnt want to go more than 13psi when effectively running a bleed valve set up (if I understand these things right - which I probably dont!). Help Glenn!

PS I\'d guess around 400FWHP based purely on Ant and Max\'s sub 13 second runs with about 360FWHP...

Glenn Butcher · August 06, 2003, 10:37:30 PM

Hmmmm, not sure - it could be a number of things. I understand it was pretty hot on the day? Does he still have the twin turbo\'s on?

Also - if the exhaust is restrictive, then it wont boost over a certain point.

.ps What was the 1/4 mile MPH?

Yeah, f#cking hot - by our pommy standards any ways

QuoteDoes he still have the twin turbo\'s on?

Nope, its some hybrid single he got from god knows where. He thought it was a T04R originally but it\'s not I\'m sure, I think its smaller. It\'s some kind of hybrid - dont remember the A/R\'s - not much help huh?! I think he\'s concluded that it is the problem though.

QuoteAlso - if the exhaust is restrictive, then it wont boost over a certain point.

I was thinking this yesterday whilst pondering. I know he had an 80mm RMagic D/P and M/P when he was still on the twins, not sure whats on it atm...

Quote.ps What was the 1/4 mile MPH?

Ready? 12.37 at 123mph

Not bad, huh? Presuming the timing equipment was in good order of course!!!

what ehaust did he have on, it was nice and ported sounding on idol, but on the 1/4 strip it was very quiet.
