Hi Syed,

 

OK, the Auto math one is an HP Books title, author John Lawlor. ISBN 1557880204

 

I've now realised that I lent the Nitro book to someone and as usual when you lend things out you don't get them back....

 

WIll try and 'retrieve' it and let you know the details.

 

Cheers,

Hi Syed,

 

Not actually the one I was thinking of but is still a very good read:

 

'How to install and use nitrous oxide'. SA design. Joe Pettitt. ISBN 1884 0892 24.

 

BTW, may I respectfully point out that I don't feel your comment 'the poor performance of the TDI car at TOTB' on the GTR forum is entirely fair.

 

I wish people would remember that the car was never built as a 1/4 mile car. Phil simply wanted a car with blistering performance, and off-the line speed was never a criteria. He had absolutely no interest in drag strips. As far as we are concerned the car does just what was asked of it. 187mph isn't to be sniffed at and proof of it's roll-on power was shown at TOTB when although it's 1/4 mile time was low, it blasted through the timing lights at 128mph- the 2nd fastest Supra on the day.

 

I hope this clarifies things.

 

Keith- book on it's way mate.

 

Cheers,

It was having an 'off' day at 10otb as well, if I recall. I hear you guys fettled it a bit on the engine management and speed delimiting side of things and it went on to do that 187mph run at a top speed event?

 

Faster than mine, then. Must remember - if I ever race Christian I need lots of roundabouts :)

It is still an immensely powerful car no doubt.

 

But you still openly quote it as being of 'poor performance'.........??! Don't get me wrong, I'm not having a pop but don't take it's 1/4 mile times as anything other than a laff. If you HAVE to take any of the figures as being of importance, use the trap speed.....

 

Ian- too right on the 155 limiter.......funnily enough Christian said that no-one was sure how to remove the speed limiter too......odd ;)

 

Yes, she has F-Con S on her now, but is essentially exactly the same as she was when built some 4 years ago:)

 

BTW, Do you still speak to Paul W? Is he still into Porsches?

 

Cheers,

Just the Christian bit really, & any associated side swipes.

 

Regards Chris, was just trying to point out that a comment made about the car was subjective, and I wanted to clarify that a 1/4 mile time is not indicative of the use for which it was built.

 

Regarding side-swiping, absolutely none was intended, and I've no idea where you got that assumption. Sorry if anything I said gave offence though.

 

:thumbs:
