Tsia Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Ordered new T1Rs, decided I'll swap them over before heading down. I'd hate to be stuck on the start line just spinning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsia Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Marginally, I'm sure I'll be put to shame by pretty much everyone anyway as I've never done a 1/4 mile drag before I'll just pretend I'm trying to pull out of my estate at rush hour or something...

Abz Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Ordered new T1Rs, decided I'll swap them over before heading down. I'd hate to be stuck on the start line just spinning Marginally better than stalling! This man speaks the truth Talking from bitter experience (clearly) my tyres were close to the markers & I didn't change them thinking they would behave like slicks, instead I was left at the line doing a burnout... Then thinking I stalled the car an trying to start it followed by trying to work out if I toasted my clutch as it nearly dead on the TypeR before poodling along for a (very) late finish!

berg Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Marginally better than stalling! But stalling is marginally better than reversing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 But stalling is marginally better than reversing Is that your plan for keeping the W58 alive? Reverse down the strip (I shouldn't joke, mine will probably self implode now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berg Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Ill use it as an excuse to upgrade to r154 or 6 speed That, or it will sit broken till next year lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsia Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Is there a *good* reason we can't use an R153 box from an MR2 or GT4? Surely it can't be much more work than an R154, holds more than a W58 and has similar ratios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely it can't be much more work than an R154, holds more than a W58 and has similar ratios. Does the engine being transverse in the MR2 and GT4 make any difference? i.e shifter will be in the wrong place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Meiser Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 It isn't looking too bad according to the Met Office - I know not everybody trusts them, but I've found them to be pretty accurate so far this week http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/forecast/santa-pod-raceway-bedford#?tab=fiveDay&fcTime=1382137200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
