The dedicated few turned up for the last rwyb of the season , good to meet you Adam and Andy.

Had a really good day myself today especially the last hour where me and AndyP got some good runs in. First time I've been to pod and got a decent number of runs in for a while....

Adam where did you disappear to..run out of juice?

I won't steal anyones thunder by telling of times but I was very impressed with by the times the mk1 guys were putting up.

Vids to come... :)

Yeah not a bad day out. Dont think i will be rushing back though, nor the mrs. She got in a fight :lol:

Last 2 hours were good, think i had 6 runs in the end.....14.9 being the worst :wink:

:shock: lol Got in a ruck at Pod ?? Dare I ask how....

Pod is deffo a long way to go for you on a day out but deffo worth doing once if only to convince me that yours does have 180+bhp :wink:

Well impressed with yours it's got the legs on mine top end by the looks of the timing slips but mine has the lightweight edge in the first 3 gears....the vids look good.

looks like a good day then :D i would of come but my bank does'nt agree with me doing 3 pod trips in a month so had to give it a miss :roll: so what were the times then, can't be bad if 14.9 was the worst :D

some git wouldnt let me across the queue to join the back of it, he was totally blocking and tbh being a cunt. So this fat Northern hussie started on my GF. So she gave as good as she got lol.

But then we joined the back of the queue.

You hosting the vids tonight Martin?

this is that pug that was there toady

Thought i'd post this as its the big news on some of the pug/paxo sites and thought some of you might be interested, if not, then perhaps disgusted at how much its supposedly cost to build (60k!)

Few pics below of its final coming together taken a few months back. Basically its a full maxi spec 106 including the shell, suspension, cage, transmission and the engine which made 208bhp@fly apparently

i spotted a few of you guys

i was there in the red 106 rallye, had a awful day the rocker cover gasket gunk sort of exploded resulting it hot oil all over the exhaust mani :cry: ..big oily mess and lots of smoke....

managed to bodge it for one more run and got a 15.2...i dont think that was bad for just 125 bhp :)

the white maxi 106 is a guy called "bic"

he ran a silver 106 gti on boddies which put out 170bhp, ran a 14.1...

id be especially dissapointed if he just dip'd 13's considering the extra work and cost! its been a very expensive project... considering the weight it should be running low 13's...hmm

looks alright though :)

To be fair to that 106, it's gearing is all wrong for 1/4 miling. It was crossing the line in 6th gear (6-spd seq. box) so much too short for running up the strip as apparently it's geared to top out at 105mph @ 8500rpm. It's pretty much a proper maxi spec 106 I believe. Still, 60k on a 106 :shock:

Martin
06-11-2006, 16:31
Whats the point having such short gearing if it does'nt give an acceleration improvement...? :? Oh and surely the sequential should actually save time on changes anyway....seems strange gearing though virtually every track in the uk will see him boucing off the limiter in 6th on a straight!

was a good day

i was camara man all day for adam

got some good videos and pictures of you boys up the strip

some good times :)

bish get them pics up mate

Neil1587

Martin - I agree mate, that box is pretty useless for 1/4 miling and track days i'd imagine. I think that box is setup for rally stages, but I don't think it's going to be used for competition use :?

Martin
06-11-2006, 16:57
strange one, hillclimbing would probably be good but I think 130 top end would be the best compromise between acceleration & top speed if he intends to use it on road/track.

Winston
06-11-2006, 17:07
Terminals seem abit low :?

But great times guys

ESP the french man!!! .....how stripped out was it???

Martin
06-11-2006, 17:09
Aye Winston there was a touch of a headwind so I could'nt crack the 100mph like I was hoping....

Still, the main point IMO is the output.

£60k build cost, if thats true, and 208bhp.......someone saw him comming.

Put it this way, S1600 rally cars have a max build cost regulation of US$100,000, and they pump out over 220bhp on a single 60mm throttle body.

Running ITB's and theretically an open spec engine build, i'd not be happy with less thatn 220bhp myself.

You can buy a clio that cracks 13s for 2.8k :lol:

Puts it in perspective really.

Winston
06-11-2006, 20:35
ooooooooooooooo ....100MPH terminal ...be the iceing on the cake :lol:

That it for 2006 then peeps?

Martin
