michel lane Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I would like to say thanks to Garth and kevin from envy on helping me out with a new fan belt , mine ripped and he car overheated, but managed to shut her down in time . I was averaging 12.5 and my gearshifting was pretty awefull , how about this time 12.57 terminal 107mph , all these were around 105-109mph, i could not change to 5th so i had to put it into nutrual 150-200 yards before the finish ....bummer , Kevin suggested to take it to the rev limiter in 4th , which i did but still needed more gears and had to cost the rest of the way, nevermind , iam please with the new setup of the car , just need to sort out this useless shortshifter that i have , there is to much play in it and also my driving technique well lack of it... Thanks to Rich and Dion and the other guy for helping out with the repair on the car aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spackrackman Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Oh and there was also Honda S2000 - but this one was beaten by TT's and NA's - was doing around 16+ sec... That was my mate and ACTUALLY he was running 14.6 so that actually puts some to shame! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 That was my mate and ACTUALLY he was running 14.6 so that actually puts some to shame! They're quick, but I'm surprised it's that quick. Is it modded? Fewer gear changes required due to higher red line maybe? Quicker off the mark with no turbos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spackrackman Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Nope, totally untouched car and I have the time sheet in front of me. He is pretty pleased that he got to run and sends his thanks to the group! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKEYmark Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Your biggest improvement would come from installing a "JJ" in the drivers seat and a set of track tyres saves fooking them wide tyres up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quicker off the mark with no turbos? My friend ran a 14.3 in his. Equalled my time when we raced, and he came on here to brag about it, I couldnt live it down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
