Miguel Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Why do you think Steph has blocked part of his FMIC bumper inlet off? An attempt to reduce drag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Superb for inspiration on making a 200mph mile car Why do you think Steph has blocked part of his FMIC bumper inlet off? 250 is the new 200 mph now Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 (edited) An attempt to reduce drag.

Abz Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 7.91 in the quarter, 249 in the standing mile (so far). It's arguably the most impressively performing Supra we've ever seen. That is very impressive, they both look so dangerous mean too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 SW's car? Boostlogic. Well that explains it then. We simply buy their products over here, whereas this car's been built by the people who make the products. The Americas are just so far ahead of us.

dandan Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Blimey, I didn't realize this was going on...... I'm only about 100miles away at the moment, I wonder if it's too late to book the rental in for a pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I'm sure they'll let you run just for the comedy value:d Get some good pics if you end up going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandan Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 (edited) I'll do my best.....it all depends on how much money gets spent tonight and how bad my hangover is! I really wish I had spotted this was happening sooner as I'd have stayed down there for a few days - I'm sure it'll be a great place to be hanging out night and day.

JustGav Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I'm sure they'll let you run just for the comedy value:d Get some good pics if you end up going. Always remember reading about some kids doing Chrysler Neon racing at the drag strip.... plumbed the nitrous in via a tube on the intake and just routed the pipe work in through the window. Race em and then take them back... I forget what the record was but I do remember it did go bang on the way over the line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I really like the lack of cam cover. errr, the cam covers are on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbloodyturbo Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Why do you think Steph has blocked part of his FMIC bumper inlet off? I think it would probably be to slow flow through the intercooler, at 250mph with a big mouth it probably spills air out the sides and maybe stagnates on the front of the intercooler. Smaller opening with a large orifice would form an expansion chamber infront of the cooler slowing flow and letting it work more efficiently. Just my opinion though, probably wrong.

Matt H Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Spark plug cover. Spark plug cover it is then. Covers the cam pulleys as well though doesn't it? Maybe I'll call it the head cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Maybe I'll call it the head cover. You could do yeah, but it doesn't cover the head Cam Cover = Covers the cams, one on each side Spark Plug Cover = Covers the spark plugs, one down the centre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Huntley Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Some awesome Supra's there, looks like they have put plenty time, effort and $$$ into getting them ready for the event. Interesting to see what tyres they are running, look like slicks to me.... Can't imagine it would be easy to find any tyres rated to 250mph!
