I went :D was a good day out

coops was runnin in the 13's iirc, times were a bit slower during the daytime as it was really sunny & quite warm, I dont know what ppl were runnin when it got dark & colder (got fookin freezin by 1am :shock: )

it made my day when leighanne told me my valver seemed fast :shock: :D ( i reckon its slow as shite :x )

I got home about 2.30 am :shock: bearing in mind I was doin double the NSL up the M1 listening to queen, T-Rex, Pink Floyd, Jurassic 5 and Marvin Gaye :lol:

I challenge anybody to beat a bit of sexual healing in a valver @ 140mph :lol:

haha, my car has got high expectations from lots pf people :oops:

1 of which is to single handedly kill & rid the world of as may tyres and valver geaboxes as possible :lol:

another is to show up at a greenpeace (or other generic eco-nazi) rally burning rubber & spitting flames and telling them to "F*CK OFF!!! IT'S A HYBRID!!" :lol:

Wobba
12-10-2008, 20:28
Arghhh, just got home and stuck clothes on that dont stink of sweat, burnt rubber and fuel.

I am sunburnt.

It was a cracking event, even if some of us were knackered! Saw some fantastic cars, but the best were ours ;)

I just dropped Arj256 off home, a merry high speed jaunt home full of pops and bangs and whoops of laughter at each mad high speed roundabout.

On the way some twat hit my car trying to overtake me before I had moved out of my lane, light damage fortunately, still it got me annoyed!

I went out on the strip about 1 pm today and Allan and I did some runs together. I posted a 15.3 on first run and about the same, but not quite as good all day after that. Allan and I were very consistent in our times together. I did some feeble burnouts on the strip entrance, but the car handled it npnp :)

I think I need to lose some more weight and think about some tuning for better times.

Was great to meet some new and old faces!

I managed to awaken security at about midnight with some extremely loud irresponsible driving round the strip hehe. Almost killed Allan as he nearly flew out my window on some crazy cornering lol, was hilarious.

Met Paddy 16v whose car loots real nice. Sat in Coops turbo nutter car to test his seats (that Justin almost had to have surgery to get into/out of) and decided they are just the right size for me ;) Drove Allans Williams which was nice too, similar to mine in most respects. Also, watched the clio16v gang make utter fools of themselves late at night after too much booze and god knows what else lol. Some amazing flameage, which I have a video off somewhere...

Now I need to see some video action of me on the strip to learn from my newbie efforts! I can do better tbh!

Wobba out.

It was not surpising I would win by tenths though! I have a weight advantage and a higher rev limiter and a rev counter that works unlike yours hehe! You did good mate meeting manufacturer optimum 1/4 mile times in a car thats 12/13 years old lol.

The times we posted beat some pretty respecatable, so called 'modern performance cars' dont forget!

12-10-2008, 21:11
wobba - you'll be lucky if there's any vids of you :lol:

I lost count how many of the C16v lot arranged for their m8's to film their runs and they all missed them :lol:

I forgot 1 important thing I wanted to do :roll: I've never had a go in a williams and meant to ask someone for a go :roll: but didnt :evil:

did leighannes leaky willy go down the strip or make it home ok??

Justin..
12-10-2008, 21:12

was a good weekend :D

managed to beat my personal best with a 13.785@100.1 mph
consistant high 13s am happy with that,

on the downside had some strange and pweir things happen... circlip\diff went funny and locked its self up.... then after hour of turning the wheel and feeling and hearing a strange nosie it sorted its self out and turned freely.... any ideas???? i think it was the circlip moving due to the hardcore wheel bounce i got.

then battery died, startermotor dies just before i leave (everyoen was gone) then my fire extinguisher explioded in the car with us in it!!!! o dear...

pics and vids to come just gta find a way to change the formats from phone to normal WMVs.

was good meeting new faces. coops is crazy culdnt run on sunday due to still being pissed...... :roll: leg-end :)

till next time!!!! :twisted:

Nice time, how stripped was it? :wink: What tyres did you use?

Wheel bounce is indeed what causes circlips to go pop, normally from curbs on circuits tho, lol.

12-10-2008, 21:48
It was an awesome couple of days guys, excellent weather too. Last of the Summer Wine I reckon :)

So depressing I'm back at work already :cry:

I need to say thanks to coops and whoever else gave me a push at the end of the night :notworthy:
I managed to flatten my battery bangin out some queen and t-rex on the stereo :oops: 8)

Quote of the day that made me chuckle on the way home was from coops "that is the epic cd of win" 8)

Aye mate you were proper on your way to being hammered when we left for hotel!

Took us ages to get into a hotel, we were all exhausted. When we got there I had a spiffing cup of tea and a lovely fine biscuit, what what!? Jolly splendid don't you know.

:D

I will post some pics up tonight. At work at mo, it is strange after the events of the weekend to be back to normality.

I'll be posting on the tuning forum soon asking about the next phase of getting more power from my F7R :D

Oh, bonus. Just checked my timeslips and it appears I got a 15.32 as well as a 15.39. Not much difference I know, but my reaction time on the faster one was 0.8841 which is quite slow! I am sure now I can break into the 14's, as we had a bit of headwind plus I had half a tank and a crap reaction time :D

I realise reaction time does not count to overral time. Here is what a time slip looks like:

The other car was Allans almost standard Williams. Great fun racing him :)
