no idea mate.

andy is hopefully running at the pod so we will see.

only comparrision we had was at fcs.

Andy and monkey seam fairly even....so it will come down to the driver and experiance - sunday will be the real battle i think...saturday to practice....sunday to claim the title,

FASTEST NORTHROP over the 1/4mile. :lol:

To be fair mine wasn't running right in the comparison that sunday as demonstrated by having to have a new gearbox and clutch, on that Sunday Andys was as quick as mine, but something just didn;t feel right, I wasn't getting the kick at 4.5k from the engine as usual.

Not taking anything away from Andy's as its a quick ****er

i'll have to give both of ya a pasting before mine goes :twisted:

is it faster now with cams timed in Rob?

(can I still say cams on this forum, is it allowed, or will it result in backlash? lol)

northy
11-07-2005, 14:47
well tbh i hope he does....but ive spent £500 on exhaust to get where i am now....and if his standard (bar £30 decat is quicker) im on the look out for a new williams.

another question for u buddy....the megane head....how come that has better torque than a williams one.

Yeah it is quicker at York I got a 14.7 in stifleing heat, bit of practice and me new box and clutch I should be able to bring it down a smidge

Deffo needs a remap though

nice Rob! should be low to mid 14's then easy, as people were running 0.3 over personal best on average :D

Rich, wouldn't go that far, it's prolly things like head matching to manifold etc that causes the difference. Megane head has smaller but better shaped ports I think Ben told me and therefore flow is better, all I know is that Willy is 175nm torque and megane is 185/190nm, Spyder is 200nm torque... also remember that his has half the miles almost pal, some get stronger, but other may have had a hard life... my bottom end was really fast on the old engine, but it died all the same, ho hum, live and learn... I learnt not to keep a Renault for longer than you have to! if your after a spare engine I may know of someone that may have one for sale soon ;)

northy

has it gone in now jon ?

J o n
12-07-2005, 10:57
lol, nope, dont be silly, it's taken all my money and I cant afford to fix it til payday, hence why it will be getting sold off prolly in bits... 5 months off the road in 1.5 years... unacceptable really lol

will be getting fixed in about a week and a half or so... then going to get it timed at the end of the month and that's it, may map it, run a 1/4 mile in it before I get rid, but unlikely... wheel refurb is the only plan for it depending on how much worse they go...

yours is the only quick Williams 1 I know of... rest are hybrids... mind you, people dont tend to mod and 1/4 mile the Williams as seriously imo. my next car will be much faster anyway so matters not :lol:

12-07-2005, 11:08

J o n
12-07-2005, 12:00
nope, got no money or car and none of my mates would drive there as most of them dont drive their cars and prefer for me to be the numpty taxi'ing them around... oh well... not too bothered tho anymore about the 'events', prefer to do smaller driving meets if i'm honest, much more fun, although seeing loads of Clio's in convoy is a sight. Anyway, trying to take my mind out of the Clio scene now lol

northy

northy
19-07-2005, 10:58

J o n
19-07-2005, 11:01
was it slimming pills or laxative you went for in the end Northy...?

Martin, glass weighs a lot you know... ;)

Lightweight trainers and clothes, big shit, dont eat for a couple of days and you'll hit 13.8 guaranteed!

Andy

times wil be quicker starts letting me down rekon 14.7 me thinks

GazTwo
19-07-2005, 18:40
I heard that on a normal RWYB the timer doesn't actually start untill u set off.....so u could sit there for 10 seconds and still get your 1/4 mile time....your reaction time would be shit but u'd still get a correct 1/4 mile time.

Anyone know if this is true???? I presumed it started when the lights go green???

Martin
19-07-2005, 19:11
nope reaction times don't matter..that why the quicker cars sometimes let the other car have a headstart.... :wink:
