Yeah, Keni, sKenDread, has fixed the forum (again) 

However, we are aware that there is something amiss which could cause this to happen again, so Keni is investigating further. We think it might be something fairly simple.............let's hope we are correct!

Never heard of that before

Sounds clever stuff

I think it is too.

Easiest way to slip the clutch is just use your foot but to run consistent iv got to try control things.

Achieving a 9 seconds pass is great but if I then run slower all the time because I'm not repeating the same formula whilst driving its just pointless.

I'd still run that if I had an expensive gear box because of consistency but you could be more aggressive with it....until the diff brakes

I'm quite looking forward to learning how to get all these things working together, suspension, tyres, gear box, and clutch.

A lot of people think drag racing is easy as you are just driving in a straight line but it just isn't there's the exact same amount of setup and tuning involved driving in a straight line as there is driving around a track.... That is unless you pull the front wheels off the ground when you launch a drag car, then you have no steering at all

I have a few friends from the drag racing scene, mainly fwd corsa stuff but Christ they’re quick.

I went to shakeys a few times when I was into yank tanks, never competed tho.

Oh it’s certainly more than driving in a straight line. I think most competitors wish it was that easy.

I used to think fwd drag cars were a joke.... Until I saw them running 8s with mph that should be of a 7 second car! The Hondas that run in the fwd are making huge power, think there's a couple making 1200hp

Yeah, me too. Until I saw some of them making awesome passes at SantaPod. They are ridicilously fast

Delivery man brought me a present

And here's where it is roughly going to sit.

Need to get some sheet steel, measure cut  weld and paint the front clip so as to create mounting points for the fuel cell and the radiator.

Cell has foam in it but reading the instructions I have to remove it for methanol

I shall be keeping it though as you never know I could always throw regular fuel in the car, put an exhaust on and go for a very short drive with it in the future

3 gallons should get me about 18 miles if I'm lucky

Amazon man also brought me gifts, maybe should have used stainless line but I'm sure copper will do just nicely and can hopefully make a nice job of things with the bender

I thought you were binning the foam ,
Not putting it to one side for re  use if you do ever use petrol in it

It should come out in one piece so probably just keep it, although it isn't that expensive

Going to order the fuel rails and fuel pump, filter and FPR in the next few weeks, then I can get the lines done for that, also get the an-20 weld on bungs, pipes and fittings for the radiator stuff

So I ordered 2 T pieces for the brakes, however the thread on the t pieces seems to be a coarser thread, the silver piece in the picture, the golden one is correct thread that matches the threads on the car... Anyone point me in the right direction as to which t pieces I need to buy?

I'm assuming that one thread is 1.25 and the other is 1.5?
