Fastest Stock Twins thread

the run was on brand new road legal tyres 235x40x17
the reason why ive got std wheels on front cause ofsets on the volks are +34, i did a track day on ty croes north wales last month and pulled down the lips on my arches, im getting 6mm taken of the inside face on the rims so i can use them again.

The man says they are road legal tyres.
Good enough for me.
I must get over to Shakespeare maybe see you over there this month. The Shakespeare track is on a slight down hill gradient and the wind is not head on, it is meant to be 0.2 of a sec faster than Pod.  So it may well be worth the trip. :wiggle

Tempted but dont have the time of interest at the mo. Wanna work on new projects i have going on.

Might put the Fd up for sale not really sure what its worth tho. Not 100 % i wanna sell it yet but its quite likely tho.

Ah gotcha, wasnt impliying anything, just thought it might have been a potential drag race tip

I think the use of N2O shouldn\'t be allowed. I thought about getting a 75bp system set up and blow you all away  :flamed  but then I thought it\'ll be cheating... Whats your views and opinions on this?

[ScuttleRX]

Hmmm, I wouldnt object to it, how does it stand from a road legal point of view, as if its not it might not be in the nature of the competition...

Be careful with nos though, heard its not best suited on a rotary, there is a big thread on here with good advice of how to do it right I still havent been in a car with nos, really want to see what its like!

[g11ary]

NOS is illegal on the rd.

Well, gave it a go, first time on a drag strip. Damn sight harder than you think it is! All the things you think about doing, advice etc, just disappear - the mind just goes blank! Then its all over and you can\'t remember what you did!!

Anyway, the only timed run I have as a reference was from the JTuner day. So that was my target. 13.88@103.79. Pleased to say I improved (albeit slightly) the time, but not the mph terminal though.

Run 1 - wheel tramp on take off, good rest of run
Run 2 - good off the line, but fluffed 2nd to 3rd change
Run 3 - seemed pretty good all the way

(Run 1 - 2 - 3)
0-60ft - 2.422 - 2.281 - 2.204
330ft - 6.21 - 6.022 - 5.933
1/8th - 9.242 - 9.234 - 8.94
1/8th mph - 82.48 - 78.4 - 83.17
1000ft - 11.76 - 11.819 - 11.471
1/4 - 14.03 - 14.156 - 13.738
1/4 mph - 103.01 - 99.98 - 102.94

So, improved the 1/4 ET from 13.88 to 13.73, 0.15s quicker.

Last run, I changed into 4th at around 7k rather than the previous runs at the buzzer (7.5-8k). Terminal speed is slower than Run 1, would staying in 3rd longer have helped with this?

Must say, 2nd and 3rd runs I though felt pretty good off the line, but 0-60 is still 2.2  Hats off to you guys getting 2s and even into the 1.9s/1.8s!


Anyone else with results you were pleased with?

I saw one of your runs, you were beating some noisey thing.  Putting the smackdown in a classy no fuss kind of way - neat!

[Warthog]

Nice one Andrew. I drove like a prat but thats another story, now you have some runs under your belt and you have seen how it all goes "out the window". You can see why I was on about the Zone.  :yes

[sdminus]

Same probs as what i had two weeks ago buy the sound of things. i could only manage a 13.1 then. I was in poddington all day in the FD but went to the cinema instead. Glad i didnt bother.

Well it seems I may not have been that much of a prat after all then. I thought it was me and or the car. It just didn\'t feel right. Scott you will know what I am on about. You drop her into 3rd and she just lifts up when the 2nd turbo kicks in, as if you have given the car it\'s freedom. It just didn\'t happen today. No sticky would explain a lot. Due to the fact we had to sit in line for hours i didn\'t get to see too many cars run. But from what is being said and from how I felt, then I think it\'s Shakespear from now on for me.
I know i have one problem and thats what we think is a leaking slave as the clutch pedal was fading. I will have her up and check for fluid later on this week.
