JamieP Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) Track was terrible, covered in moss, nobody could get any traction. Very dangerous out there, first run I lost my bottle and let off at .7 of a mile, rolled over the line at 179mph Second run still loads wheel spin, I tried to keep my foot in but was starting to lose my nerve as the speeds was getting high, just thinking about letting off and pop, loads smoke.

Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Very dangerous out there, first run I lost my bottle and let off at .7 of a mile, rolled over the line at 179mph . sorry to hear mate, but if you lost your bottle am sure many of others would of before you so am sure the track must of not been ideal.. i love RWD cars but for me if i ever was to keep one for myself with over 650bhp it would not be on the road after september,. saying that my 4wd car would be in hibernation from end of october,.

JamieP Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 3hours to think of which turbo to go for next. I like the billet 76 so will most likely repair it, got a load of plans for it over the winter, Lee was due to pull the engine out next week anyhow as the head is coming off to be flowed and new cams. Just a bit fed up now as I wanted that 200+ run:( the car can stay at lee's now till the spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutted for the guys today.. the way i see it is, the americans really push their turbos to the limits to get there desired target HP..(then IMO this reduces turbo life) you might just have to aim a bit less boost mate to get more life of the turbo..

Guigsy Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 aa are just as bad with sending you lowloaders when you ask for them. the pc/ac/water pump went and as it was a 4x4 and a rare jap import i knew it would need a loader is the guy in the van wouldnt have the part and he wouldnt be able to tow it. but the guy came in his van. took a 5 min look at it then went off again. meanwhile 4 low loaders came into the services carpark behind me (at the same time, not one after another and sat doing nothing/swapping cars) and we sat there for a couple of hours untill ours turned up very frustrating.
