View Full Version : Northy Vs Northy2
right, come on lads, who's is quickest then??? you guys must have had some comparisons by now!?
also how's monkeys compare against your now he has cams Rich?
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:
get some rolling starts too, I wanna know who's is fastest out of you three as I cant play out for a while... and when I can it 'hopefully' wont be that long... lol
well flaming monkey is out of action now - so we will have to wait untill the trackday for our next comparrison.
But northy vs northy 2 (andy) is on for this weekend...and no cheating our kid.

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
well i will need to see how it gets on with mine....if its as quick i will be gutted.

Yep we shall see soon enough :D
northy mate...andys is gunna rape ya lol
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)
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 ;)
no thanks jon....williams all the way for me.
Andy - £5 bet on the fastest northrop. You in ?
go on then £ 5 give me a day to sort me self out then sunday we will have it ..
goes outside and has a team chat with my willy 8)
go Team Andy!
(sorry Rich, gota vote Willy2 pal ;) )
do it.
williams 3 all the way to the finish line.
be interesting to find out which Northrop has the ultimate Williams :D
only fiver bets tho... pikeys, neither of you can be that confident in yer cars... ;)
when mine works again we'll have a mini meet and get Monkey over for some comparisons, Willy 2 Vs Willy 3 day ;)
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...
but u know the 1s will be in front :wink:
not u anymore mate. :lol:
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:
that's what I mean, there was only yours! lol
that's what I mean, there was only yours! lol
Who now knows....you will have to reclaim the fastest one title.
U still not coming to the pod ?
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
Only just by the looks of things tho lad... plus, your car is heavily modified ;)
lol.wait til andy gets 1/2 the mods u have mate.diff stort then methinks :wink:
i know....might pull the engine apart and see if any works been done :D
It was a close run thing! Can't argue with both of you cracking 14s though...cracking stuff.
cheers martin.
bought u a pressy to get u into the 13's mate. u can have it when we next 1/4mile
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!
times wil be quicker starts letting me down rekon 14.7 me thinks
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???
nope reaction times don't matter..that why the quicker cars sometimes let the other car have a headstart.... :wink:
