Fastest Stock Twins thread

Does frying your turbos damage the engine internals if all the crap gets chucked through it?

Yes if you are unlucky, will have to see. Thats racing. :3gears-lh

[John Yorke]

Well done that man :guinness  
2.0 60\' aint bad still got a few 10ths there, still dont see how you get an 11 though, not without changing the diff - is that in the rules?

[g11ary]

You may find your ok with engine john as most of the turbo inards are going away not into the engine.
So it might just be a simple swap.
Keep fingers & toes crossed.

John-- I think the rules only state Stock Twins ( I have a Uprated Diff in the pipeline :evillaugh )

Gary--Thats what I am thinking. She starts etc no probs on the key, water temps were only 80 when the fire crew were putting out the small fire. I have the day off Friday so will have her up on the jack/axle stands and have a good look as unsure what danmage the fire could have done as well. But hay ho thats racing for you.

 Talking of which I\'m Pit Crewing on Saturday at Silverstone on the 24 hour race with the RX-8 Race Team so that will take my mind off things. Will be there for 36hours so should be fun. :cool

No just a small fire, where the oil from the oil cooling in the twins had ignited.
Don\'t know as yet what other damage there is under there will have a good look on friday and post some pics if it\'s worth it. :rollin  :flamed
Got in at 9pm as had to wait for 2 3/4 hours for RAC recovery. Walked in the door, she was all ready in her best tucker, me hello!!!!!!!!! No reply, upstairs change into my DJ and back downstairs. Well I\'m ready shall we go!!!! Still silence as we got into her MX-5 and went off to a 50th birthday party that we should have been arriving at 8pm for. Anyway we had a good night, it was a James BOND theme all set out with cars and casino etc a good bash. A few vodka\'s later and the silence was broken. Wonderful thing alcohol.  :spank
I had to drink coke without the vodka for my sins.

Do FC owners have a persecution and/or inferiority complex,

NOPE,  Not Me

[Kieron]

John, you still sticking with the twins then? good excuse to go single I would have though, all the other mods are there  :p

When do you think it\'ll be up and running again? If you do go for twins we will have to do a rwyb at pod or scr  :burnout

Yes mate sticking with the twins.Until I have got it down into the 11\'s.   I will be changing to a single T51 Kia ballbearing with a RE:WORX RE Dowelled engine, uprated gearbox and etc\'s don\'t think I\'ll see much change out of 10k or it may even be more don\'t know till I get to work it out with Geff in the winter. What I want is a 10sec street car RX-7 FD and I will have one. Then I will do the bodykit bit and It will be very aggressive.   :cheers
Will try and get the twins sorted before the rolling road day. :evillaugh
