I did the 400 on a 2.5" downpipe and exhaust. Not that :\ Weird one!

Do you find problems with really high boost/revs combinations causing the valves to hang open because of the intake pressures? 30psi or so on the back of the valves at 7700rpm must be on the verge of floating the intake?

Edit: *awesome* car by the way

I don't understand how people were jipped?

Didn't realise santapod could control the weather.

They were really doing their best aswell. Constantly trying to dry the track throughout the entire 2 days.

dannygti · 17th March 2013, 18:26

So did you get a dry run Martin?

tweeqd · 17th March 2013, 18:28

Yes was there for both days, arrived at 8am and they tried to make me park in the weekend parking in a soggy field, with a fully loaded iveco van with trailer

I sacked off that idea and parked next to the rwyb pits, the weather was crap and i did get one run, although as i was about to line up the marshal told me noone has run 888's on the new track so be carfull if launching hard
Ive only driven this engine on gone off road tyres so didnt launch hard and changed to 2nd way too soon and bogged down so was neally half way down the strip before it boosted
Hence the crap 13.8@112

Plenty more to come with a better launch and some practice lol, the tyres are brand new and gripped alot more than i thought they would

Ali123 · 17th March 2013, 18:30

either way though man it looked class ! sounded a beaut too!

tweeqd · 17th March 2013, 18:35

They were jipped because of the bad weather

I'm sorry, I totally missed the part of my statement above, where in any part of it did I say santanpod were the cause of or to blame for the bad weather!?

gazza808 · 17th March 2013, 18:52

Assumption I guess from all the comments I've seen that basically expect pod to be able to control the weather, or let them run on a wet track when they have no idea how slippy it is with the slightest bit of moisture.
So I apologise.

The surface is no where near ready yet really, an I think it'll be a couple of months before we see some good times on it. I have seen some one spun his 9 inch wide drag slicks most of the track.

blackie_2k5 · 17th March 2013, 19:00

Yeah I I've heard a lot of twisting, risk you take with shows really

Car looks and sounds spot on martin

For having a slow start it still ran a pretty good time IMO, easy shave a lot off that with a bit more time driving it

tweeqd · 21st April 2013, 20:06

not done alot with the car due to bad weather recently
i did raise the rear 40mm as it was sat way to low at the back and swapped the B8 rears for some GAZ adjustables

ventured back to the pod on sat for the RWYB day prior to RS day as a mate was running his vauxhall powerd mk1 escort so thought id get some track time in myself
1st run being a 13.1 @116 then 13.5@117, 12.8@118, 12.7@115
then
12.69@112.77

after that run it deveopled a missfire and i had no tools to try and sort it as i towed it up with my e class not the van so loaded it back on the trailer and sat and watched the racing

my launches were getting better so with a bit of practice its got a low 12 in in for sure, and thats with toyo 888's in full road spec, no cheating drag tyres

i did do a run at the end of the day in the tow car for a laugh but held it in the revs on the foot brake on the line and overheated the auto box so the ecu shut it down at 1/8th a mile so was left sitting there for 10 secs untill it would restart lol

blackie_2k5 · 21st April 2013, 20:39

Any vids mart? You won every race didn't you?

tweeqd · 21st April 2013, 20:45

a mate got a few on my old phone but my laptop wont let me get them lol
in all the years ive been at the pod ive never lost a race, 1 st 3 were against a civic type r, i stopped after run 3 and let him race someone else so he would have a chance of beating someone

then raced a 5 door 206

then a guy in a 360bhp K tec turbo 182, he was quite cocky saying how fast is was, think he ran a 15.2 to my 12.6

blackie_2k5 · 21st April 2013, 20:47

tweeqd · 21st April 2013, 21:06
