oooohhhhh we down to 1 mod?? what happened?

LOL point taken.. Hey, Ive been thrown a lifeline, so can keep my scooby a bit longer :o)

tazman7474: I wouldnt get my belly behind the steering wheel LOL

WhiteTower: had a peek around an Enzo at the opening of a new facility of one of my sponsers at the weekend... nice bit of kit :o) http://www.sox-japoc.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3958

yeah, the 360 was perfection :o) I was helping in the pits for one racing in the britsih GT championships :oD with Zest racing.. and just afterwards, 2 more joined the international GTs

slalom is still pretty much straight line stuff hehe...
but then, I bet these sort of cars would be hard to use properly on normal roads :o(

what about in corners? its all very good doing straight line :o) hence cars can keep up with bikes in the twisties ;op

WhiteTower: Its a nicer looking motor :o)
But its similar also, especially with the central driving position of the driver and a fair bit of the looks. It looks ot me like someone has taken the maclaren F1 and refined its looks and removed the rear lip spoiler,, would be interesting to see them side by side on track :o)

ScarletRose: sounds like something thermal problem and warms up to me over time then fails,as the fuses and bulbs are ok etc, most likely the relay for the lights. but could also be in the switch also. Do you know anyone with same vehicle that you can swap parts to narrow down the fault?

bugger

bwildman: LOL
Im still running on a standard clutch too, poor thing wouldnt cope

Backoff: Its an option Bob, i have some members who have gone this route,, but my car is also my everyday car, so i have to keep sensible LOL

bwildman: Only if I change the 4 cams :o( not cheep.. but can get ecu remapped to make more horses etc,, thats next step

its quad cam, they are all standard. All ive changed internally is when i blew it up last year it had an open deck block, so now Ive used closed deck block and it has uprated rods and pistons.

bwildman:It had 2 Cat's,,, they gone, and on this you gain 25bhp ( not sure of torque) just by removing these ( hence ask Jules how loud it is LOL its not road legal but who cares LOL). another 20 bhp etc can be gained by fitting equal length exhaust headers as it is a flat four boxer engine. But i like the sound as it is LOL And being turbo'd it doesnt really matter about the lack of back pressure LOL

I dont have adjustable valves o mine.

tazman7474: These are slightly fettled road cars. I run 98ron fuel, I could use octane booster etc, but then thats not the car itself. I've added cold air intake, and also water spray for the intercooler too recently. Hence even though where the car is sick and lost 20bhp peek :o( its still up 5LBFt in torque. The boost isnt consistent, and tails off after 5000rpm ( this is where tha power is being lost obviously) . So got to get that sorted out, then will look at raising the boost.

Im down to 13.5s @ 100Mph 1/4's now :o) And thats with a sick car. I think it has 13.0 in it ,, just need to sort out the probs

bwildman: OK

Taz.. the Trabant was bloody aweful too

i cant believe i got hid by a glob on my own board
Harley, go away

ANTICHRIST: what cars are chinese then?

um mine is about 87 bhp to 1000Lbs, 190 bhp per tonne.

i only know mine at flywheel, and its a lot less than Bobs at wheels LOL

good amounts anyways mate :oD

I meant FlyWheel bhp :o) rather than Wheel.
So do you not call the fly wheel the flywheel over there?

what sort of fwbhp you expect Bob?

for suree, would be nice to hear some more

needed wide screen LOL

yep you in them LOL in your black shorts LOL

Ive just seen picies :oD

ooops, was a big one then. Jerm done well LOL

for sure, id always encourage anyone who wants to drive fast.... to do it in the right places with the right facilities etc.

Thats cool then :o)

oh dear, bad? Is he ok?

LMAO

oooooooooooooh how nasty *hand hovers over hide button*
LMAO ;op

LMAO minor detail ;op anyways.. i had to sit that side as the stickers on the windscreen would have been in the way LOL

tazman7474: Cool, well done to you both Skip :oD
I couldnt reply on gen chat as Im still banned from there LOL ( its not a bad thing mind you )

ANTICHRIST: Thats trhe mercedes / mclaren i was on about a few days back :o)

I went out in a equivalent 1.3 litre 625cc twin rotor mazda RX7 the other night :oD that was a a lovely moter :oD but then next night raced it with my scooby.... mine was there with it , if not just as good or quicker :oD wow, on public roads it was scarey mind you ;o)

wayney: is that a vtec engine or normal 8 valve?
Ally's 1.6 vtec delsol (2 door convertable civic) with induction kit and sports exhaust doe sit in around high 16's ( not sure of the bhp of it).

It depends of if your civics are same as ours, and what age etc etc. can you show me a piccy on the net of the type you have, and Ill find out from my club members for you

tazman7474: so true LOL

nobleheart...thats ugly LOL

tazman7474: Its 1/4mnile, just the same as the TAD and drag bikes etc all over the world do.

Wayney: yes it was from stand still ( best reaction time I got was 0.402seconds)

Bwildman: yep, thats on the engine I rebuilt

Backoff: you fool LMAO

Best bit is that Mr Chairman (me) won all his runs against Mr vice Chairman and other club staff who have more BHP and LB/ft than me :oD LOL

I got 14 seconds dead at 96Mph up the strip on sunday :oD not bad for a road car

BIG BAD WOLF: Thats clever :o)

Ed, can you remove those useless posts please?

Hows this for simplicity with lots of grunt....
A stripped 13B (1.3litre twin rotor..twin turbo Rex engine :oD
