Aye was well pleased...when my first two runs were 14.4 I was'nt hopeful but they were my 2 slowest of the day the rest were 14.3/14.2s, 5 14.1s and the 14.0! 8)

hehe was gonna title it FAO Mitchy! lol Was quite surprised when I chatted to the owner..he asked if I was running Nos.... :D then I was like is your standard then? No revo'd running 270 bhp.... :P

KingStromba
30-05-2005, 19:58
Maybe thats why Mitchy fitted nos, because he realised even with the 270 BHP he would still get OWNED by a 2.0 normally aspirated car running under 200 bhp. :wink:

30-05-2005, 22:44
:lol: Good video Martin 8)

It doesn't bother me in the slightest as you know as well as i do 1/4 miling is all about abilities of the drivers. The launch, timing and gear changing spring to mind. :wink:

As for reference , there are quite a few chipped cars out there running like a bag of spanners. I was at a RR meet a couple of weeks ago and some chipped cars were only running 230-235bhp :oops:

There are also a fair few who have run 14.5/6 in standard cars so this is a poor run from a chipped car or a poor run from the driver.

Not taking anything away from it mate as you obviously beat a cupra R up the strip although a lot of the time its down to the drivers and not the actual cars. :wink:

I believe you ran against the TT beastie??

Martin
30-05-2005, 22:52
:D No provoking you this time lol fair play :P I thought it was a stnd example tbh but no.... oh and his launches were far from brilliant although I imagine it's tough to shift a heavy,fwd, turbo quick off the line anyway...

well i observed a lcr at fc track day getting its arse whooped... if i was to spend new car money .. i'd certainly think, and buy something fast and track worthy... not a vehicle to drive my gran to the hospital in and for me to listen to classic FM, smoking a king Edward cigar.

Excellent days work Martin... seems your car really is running well....
those dreaded 13s.... whos going to be first :-)

No 13's :roll:

Good work tho ....Anywhere near the limiter in 4th?

Martin
31-05-2005, 13:18
hehe 13s are very close...I was'nt close to the limiter now it's 7k no but reading 105mph or just over....deffo gained me a bit of time having those extra revs in 4th instead of changing. Got into the high 2.2 60ft times for the first time too which was nice....but if I could get some 2live esque starts I would have been in 13s!

Leon Cupra R

I can assure you it is revo'd gentlemen.

It was good to meet you martin - was impressed with your car, yes my starts probably could be worked on, but i wasnt embarresed losing to a stripped out hatch with a tuned engine.

One thing to remeber chaps - martins car is stripped out and must weigh half of what the leon does, has a larger 'usable' power band and that gave it a massive advantage 'off the line'. Once we were moving the distance stayed pretty much the same.

Getting the power down in the Cupra is a bit of a mission - its not at its best from a standing start but i went home happy in the fact i had done 'alright' for my first outing.

until i logged on here - lol

Anyone with a Cupra R - until you have raced martin down the strip please keep snidy comments like "he was a sh*te" driver, i could of beat him" - to yourselves ;)

re: GTI6 - i really fluffed that run up big time :) but i thought i had won till i saw the slip, i really couldnt figure that one out - but well done all the same.

31-05-2005, 16:48
oops, didn't see the Mitchy excuse list then, quality, so they're actually only 235bhp now, not twenty million thousand bhp? :wink: :lol:

what's yours run then, or whats a quick one with a decent driver run... assuming it's running the 270-280bhp they should be doing after a remap... I heard 9 second standing 1/4's were average :lol:

Also note how the dood Martin beat couldn't pull on him even once he did have traction. Under estimate these cars at your own embarrassment really. The bloke you raced seems sound though Martin and also a realist :wink:

Mitchy
31-05-2005, 19:23
I dont under estimate clio's at all mate. They are so light they are bound to be quick, but not everyones cup of tea though :wink:

All i said is there are standard 225 cars hitting 14.5/6 sec 1/4 miles so 14.9 from a chipped example is a poor time dont you think?

A remapped cupra R pulls around 260-265bhp. A cupra R with induction and full exhaust system inc downpipe and cat will produce around 280bhp. 265bhp is around the mark of a chipped R.

Ive said it before mate the 1.8T flatters itself with its torque figures. They may produce 300lbft of torque but its only peak torque and not sustained! The maps are very up and down and the small turbo unit only holds until around 5800-6000 rpm. (The main reason why i opted for the laughing gas)

Thats the difference you clio bunch need to drop a gear and you can rev it to 7000 rpm, we lazy turbo lot will stay in gear but change way earlier!

A remapped R would have it when moving though :wink: :lol: :wink:

01-06-2005, 16:34
lol, nah fair point Mitchy, they prolly will be quicker... but if the guy didn't pull from 0-100 basically he's gonna be passing at around 120-130ish imo, which realistic, as 5th gear on mine has as much pull as 4th on cam, seriously shifts with cams.

thing is tho jesus......u would have thort the same about the ever revving type r s.............that theyd leave us once above 100..........hmmmmmm it aint happened yet lol


and had 1 on each trip up and down from fcs...same results......they dint pull at 100.they just lost more ground lol

I cained a Civic type R in 0002 once, and i mean destroyed him.

Ive never rated them. His car was twitching all round the corners, then on the straight expected him to pull away, and i have to keep backing off to stop going in the back of him.

well mate that you have come on here shot your mouth off and then been put in your place beaten and by a fair way, so that means that 70% of the williams on here and 100% of the hybrids could kill the seat leon.if you are that sure of yourself come to york and have a go against me and my car is standard and it is a quick one ask martin :wink:

J o n
02-06-2005, 13:36
like King says really... except its a rare day one can even stay in front that long. it's deffo the cams that allow this, higher gears still have the same urgency as the lower ones, very deceptive, you only notice when comparing to a relatively standard Williams or when having a do against something like a CTR where it normall starts to inch away above 110mph.

KingStromba

No mate i could carry so much extra speed through the corners i didnt need a higher top speed / all my revs. I take it youve never driven a 18k williams.

Ive said it before, 0002 is very quick. Would leave 0200 for dead in a straight line. Nick said he wouldnt be suprised if the engine was blueprinted and tweeked from the factory, being a press car.

lagerlout1
02-06-2005, 15:44

KingStromba
02-06-2005, 15:47
Well 0002 went past a 172 pretty quick in a straight line. Jills is a quick 172 and 0002 is deffo quicker.

KingStromba
02-06-2005, 15:49
I think thats why im perplexed with 0200. I expected it to be faster when i got it, and tbh its alot slower. But it still keeps pace with a 182, my mates cup and a 172 in a straight line, so im guessing 0200 in normal, and 0002 is just a real quick one.

J o n
02-06-2005, 15:53

What planet are you on :?

Ive heard of clio williams cars running 16.0 and beyond. Don't mean its a 16.0 car though :roll: Just because there is a video of a poor LCR run means that all LCR's and drivers are the same :roll: :?

The only clio i'd personally worry about on here is the TT clio and nick reid's car. I'm pretty confident i'll break 13.5 @ 105mph in my car so this 70% and 100% is utter bollocks :lol:

J o n
02-06-2005, 16:34
13.5 on or off gas?

Mitchy
02-06-2005, 16:39
On mate.

Off i'd be expecting around 14.0 which aint too bad for a hefty car :wink: :lol: The LCR is never going to be a 1/4 mile monster, it carries too much weight off the line and without an LSD, traction is poor. It shines really around the 60+ area

A TT i know of hit 12.9 @ pod with a 75 nitrous shot and remap so there is no reason why the LCR cant do similar giving it dont lose the same hefty 4wd losses the TT does.

J o n
02-06-2005, 16:47
surely quicker than both those times??? if it's running the power you say and has to use NOS to be quicker that's hardly quick considering the bhp... so the Jabba'd Cupra is actually slower than a tuned Williams engine in a valver, as it's going to be harder to lauch... Martin, get NOS...

Martin
02-06-2005, 16:52
LOL I've been tempted by nitrous but imo it's sort of cheating...I'm gonna get 13s N/a first....You live close to York don't you Mitchy why not pop down on the 17th us boys are gonna be there...would be a laugh. Plus you can show us a 14.0 Cupra R.....and I'll show you a 13.9 clio! :wink:

Mitchy
02-06-2005, 16:54
I'm not too sure mate as im itching to get it up the strip.

I think i can pull out about 100kg of weight from my car including fuel so should give me a lttle more poke :D . With 320-330hp and the same in torque i can only guess until i actually run it.

Nitrous is not flammable mate.

In the event of a car fire there is a HPRV (high pressure relief valve) that will stabilize the pressure in the bottle which means no exploding gas bottles.

never raced a lcr really dont think......or if i have it hasnt been worthy of remembering ........but adis old clio on gas ran 13.6 did it not?? an mine is quicker now than his ever was off gas, so i reckon ...on gas for u to be runnin 13.6s , off gas ud need to be hittin 14.0s............which tbh....i dont think ul get below 14.5, reckon with the weight etc, realistically ur looking at 14s maybe , just maybe hi 13s on gas.

Gunner, according to Mitchy we're all chavs when he has no more points to make or runs out of creative banter... it's what's known as lacking imagination... hence going for a German made Spanish rep cab... that and knowing that his car is actually slower and NEEDS NOS. :lol:

Mitchy

2 live a TT similar spec to mine runs 12.9 although he does use 75hp jets as opposed to my 50hp jets.

http://www.noswizard.com/bboard/viewtopic.php?t=375

Okay the TT is 4wd so traction off the line is better but up and running i doubt much would be in it. I'll definitely break 13.5 on gas.

Jesus i dont need nos mate.:lol: I'd still be saying bye bye to you 60-160 without gas never mind with :lol:

without NOS you wouldn't, I think i'd pretty much need to be at top speed before you could actually start stretching your legs.

Mitchy
03-06-2005, 16:21
I may be under estimating your car jesus but i'd be pretty confident in the fact that i'd easily pull away 120+.

Ive been in a 172 cup and as soon as it went into 5th it was poor to say the least. I know yours will be quicker than a 172 but i cant imagine it keeping up 120 onwards.

I doubt it has the torque to do so? I may be wrong as ive not seen your beastie but you've never seen a chipped R up at them speeds either. I was up the arse end of an M3 just before nitrous and he was not pulling at all, i couldn't pass him but he was certainly not pulling away! I very much doubt your clio being able to do that! Who knows though eh :wink:

2 live, the TT weighs a touch more at around 1400kg.

Mitchy, you said 60-160... my point is you wouldn't pull on me from 60 plus... like you say, 120+ maybe... so that's 120-160 you would pull no? I dont doubt for a second that you'd pull easily at 120+, but from standing you'd be having to catch me up off gas, so i'd be bouncing of the limiter before you came past... i'm well up for testing it out either way tho lol
