Not scared i hope Ok i have these for the day, I have to fit j-spec rear brakes for the day just to get the wheels on, Lee is fitting me a linelock kit and may also look at some super soft spring and shock for the rear aswell, really want a 10 sec 1/4 but i know it will be tuff.

Pig Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I wish i could get tyres like that for my stock rims as I would love to run them for day to day. Why bother with a line lock? Are you using launch control/2 step? What about NOS? Is your 632 on the tesco R? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 i dont know why people arnt taking part just because they have a TT auto or an NA. Its still fun. and an experiance if you havent done it before. I havent done it before (uk auto TT). But im looking forward to finishing off my tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you using launch control/2 step? What about NOS? Is your 632 on the tesco R? Them tyres would be awefull on a street car, im supprised you have traction problems with the R888's mine is great on the street. Linelock will stop me killing the diff i hope. No launch control No Nos bit if i dont get a 10 then next year ill go for Nos. I had a little race fuel in the tank for saftey that day but Ryan said it would have made no odds, im going to go for a proper race fuel map with a lot more boost and see if the turbo has anymore in it, id like to see 700bhp from it.

Grip is fine with the R888's. Only an issue in 1st and 2nd, in a completly different world to normal road tyres for street. Just love the look of those tyres and would like to run lots more power at some point. Do you not think launch control will help with those ultra grippy tyres on? Fair point about the diff, we all know what you are like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockys96 Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Done, i am no longer a pussy, im a mercat. i dont even have an engine in my car though, ah well, sold last years as well in the end. now that ive occupied lucky number 13 spot, you others feel free to fill in the gaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I cant see any reason why you couldn't get into the 10s with the planned spec, with a good launch Jamie. I'll definatley be there in some capacity, although I'm on a stag do in Bulgaria the following week, and I start Uni a month after so I'm not sure if I can afford to compete. Yet...

jevansio Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Guys you have no idea how much I want this back on the road . The stuff I'm doing tidying my engine bay up is just filling in time while waiting for the turbo. Turbo hasn't turned up from the States yet, yesterday I decided that a polished housing would probably save me taking it off & having it polished, this is adding another 5 working days, the turbo is just about ready to be shipped from Precision to the dealer I'm dealing with. Once I get the turbo I reckon a full week & the car will be road worthy (or road worthy enough to have some confidence in booking my SP place). Bit more time I should be in a much better position . Don't worry though, I'll still be as shit on the dragstrip as always Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
