st3ph3n Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Where was the run done? Looks like a good setup. Tarmac looked better than Crail! Link to comment
ciaranrb5 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 lol nice, better takeoff than i got. was even worse the second run. nearly stalled! it was my first ever drag, thats my excuse!!!! The key is to blip the throttle between about 5-6k revs and then let go of the clutch and away you go. Link to comment
sti_steve Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 The key is to blip the throttle between about 5-6k revs and then let go of the clutch and away you go. Think my clutch would die doing that! heres mine Link to comment
tucku34bt Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 (edited) Think my clutch would die doing that!heres mine lol, what a comeback!! i was trying to feather the throttle at 3500 - 4000 rpm, didn't get a chance tho, was not expecting the lights to come down that fast. and the second one i screwed up, didn't even get a chance to get my revs up! my reaction times are a bit pants, 0.402 and 0.490. the race was run at the Stornoway airport, not on the main strip mind! the setup is ace, the tarmac is imaculate! the next one is for charity on the 25th of July. cant wait, hope i can make it, I've caught the 1/4 mile bug!!!!

ciaranrb5 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Think my clutch would die doing that!heres mine My car has 100k now is on it's 3rd clutch. Last one lasted 30k miles then i did 15 full bore launches at crail and it last another 4k after that before it started to slip. Link to comment
sti_steve Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I'm the blue STi not the Type RA! He's the bigger turbo...TD05 is it? Wait till my remap when I should be hitting 340 bhp with similar torque and should be better times. Jesus Ciaran! - I think I will need a new clutch "soonish" but its fine for now, just the bit feels a bit high...no slipping at all Link to comment

Only cost me £65 plus the cost of the clutch and flywheel. I did guess you were unlikely to put a video of yourself getting beat i know i wouldn't!! Hope you get on ok with your mapping, I have mine on 17th of July hoping for 330-340 which im sure will shorten my clutch life some what Link to comment

Interesting...... Just had a look on the Calmac website and a return for car and driver is £87.20 might be good if we could get a few cars over from the mainland and make a weekend of it as Stornoway can be a good night out. and a good curry at the Rabba Only problem I can see is taking a decent quantity of spare fuel over in the car, Calmac might get a bit twitchy about that seeing as we are all at it here are a couple of old vids of mine Graeme Edited June 23, 2009 by G.Mac Link to comment
