The tune up went fine, it didn't blow up!

Just driven it home for the first time - Basildon to Chelmsford - and it only used up a quarter of a tank of petrol! Worth every penny - still grinning!

Ah well - I can start saving up to drive to the petrol station now!

I've missed the thread on the Colchester meet - where/when?

How did you mount that bucket seat???????

psychoS12 · #24 31-08-2010, 18:36

We've taken the sub-frame off of the original seat and bolted the bucket seat to that - needed to keep the seat adjustable as it wont just be me looning it up drag strips and around the track. We're gonna mount the passenger seat in (non adjustable) after Santa Pod.

I have been reliably informed that the original seats don't actually have sub-frames, and that I'm talking bolloxs! The other member of Team Dangerous Brothers actually did the work of mounting the seat (and most of the other bits as well!) and it took him four days! And, apparently, I'm not to hold my breathe waiting for the passenger seat to be done!

Off to North Weald RWYB on Sunday - lets see what times she'll do. Gotta be better than the 16.03s fastest that I've got out a Panda!

Cheers

hi how did it go fancy coming to colchester meet soon
what did you get on the bhp ??
what stage is it running

psychoS12 · #27 07-09-2010, 18:36

Looks like I need to learn how not to spin the rear wheels all the time!

Quarter miles times and terminal speeds through the day were;

15.3s at 95mph
15.7s at 101mph
16.1s at 88mph

15.81s at 96mph
15.2s at 103mph
15.17s at 100mph
14.85s at 103mph

14.93s at 102mph
15.06s at 104mph

Not what you'd call consistant, so I'm guessing driver error caused a few problems! Found a post on youtube of one of the runs;

The first race on this link is against the car I normally race in, the second is against the Silvia.
