Gumball Posted August 7, 2005 Posted August 7, 2005 you did well today !!! smoked me all over the place a couple of times. did you get beaten by a NOVA? lol
2559B Posted August 7, 2005 Posted August 7, 2005 << did you get beaten by a NOVA? >> think everyone got smoked by the nova
Fee Posted August 7, 2005 Posted August 7, 2005 yes.....I believe you did too Chris......so wheesht! And in my defence....I did only get about 2 hours sleep last night...so I'm just impressed that I managed to stay awake!
Gumball Posted August 7, 2005 Posted August 7, 2005 if i was cutting about in a nova i wouldnt slither along side scooby drivers, altering the list to make sure i got a scooby. unless of course i had NOS hiding away in there. boy, that was a fast wee car.
RS Grant Posted August 8, 2005 Posted August 8, 2005 I was arriving and signing on when someone in a Blue Scottish Scoobies top was getting their results... Had a good day, once I turned the boost controller off. On the road, it was fine held boost with no spikes etc....... First launch, and it hit the boost limit which feels like a brick wall then tailed off to 0.7bar for rest of the run. Totally confused, but there were no places that I could go and practice a few launches so I decided to take it off and run with what the car could give me standard. So, with a general range of about 0.65-0.72bar I did the rest of my runs today. Best Time was a 12.6 @ 108mph which I am pretty pleased with given that I was running low boost to avoid any further probs with Boost Cut. Only car that beat me was the AWD Catalunya.. He seemed to get his power down better than me, I was spinning all 4 wheels coming off the line longer than most 4WD peeps according to friends that were watching me. Andy F............ Fook me mate, thats some car you've got!! Cheers, Grant
mazheriqbal_mohammed Posted August 8, 2005 Posted August 8, 2005 Managed to get 13.7 today best time yet which i am well pleased with considering i only have decats put on a MY00 Classic Turbo 2000. Cant wait to get the remap done and see my silver baby fly Glad to hear other folk got beat by the beat of a Nova does not make feels so bad getting whooped by the classic chav mobile! Was chatting to the lad driving it and he had stripped it completely down to a base a frame an a whole lot of fibre glass, mental!!! But loved the number plate he had. Good racing against some of the AWD boys. So refreshing seeing Grants blatant disregard for his tyres hope you managed to have enough left to get home!!
coulty Posted August 8, 2005 Posted August 8, 2005 Good lord people! I managed a 13.1 sec quarter mile in 33C. Were you all driving with your handbrakes on? And Grant.....for god's sake hit the right hand pedal!
Gumball Posted August 8, 2005 Posted August 8, 2005 yeah, must have been. ill be sure to check that next time
fai17 Posted August 8, 2005 Posted August 8, 2005 It was my first time on crail strip. I managed a 13.33sec Is that a good time for a first timer...??? Andy F:Your car is mental.In a different league M8. It was a great day out and would like to thank Gumball for taking us there. I have some camcorder clips but don't know how to put it on the forum so if you can help can you show me how as i think its funny sh@t.

fai17 Posted August 8, 2005 Posted August 8, 2005 Sorry forgot to say it was nice to meet yous Fee,Ally&Gumball
2559B Posted August 8, 2005 Posted August 8, 2005 << Sorry forgot to say it was nice to meet yous Fee,Ally&Gumball >> same to yourself peter who's was the green wagon that minced me up the strip ? was told he was running 397BHP !!!
Big Daz Posted August 8, 2005 Posted August 8, 2005 Scoobylav & I were down watching, The fake rust nova weighs about 600kg I believe with 2.0 16v power + throttle bodies- so pretty nippy. The other burgendy one was running with 100 shot of nos every run so that probably doubled his power almost lol. Agree with the Andy F statements though - looks like it will cut out at the start then bang - its all over Daz
RS Grant Posted August 8, 2005 Posted August 8, 2005 Haha, Mr Coulty, whats your best time in your "Almost Standard" STi V2 then mate?? Give me a target to aim at..... Peter, I'll say Hi next time mate..... Cause I'm sure you'll be back, sounds like the 1/4 mile bug's bitten a few of you peeps!! I know its a long shot, as I turned up so late, but did anyone get any pics/vids of my car?? Cheers, Grant
RS Grant Posted August 8, 2005 Posted August 8, 2005 Frank its going like a train mate.... I think the only 2 peeps to go faster than me yesterday were Andy F and the AWD Catalunya. There may have been faster cars there in the morning, I didnt manage to get through before 2pm. Things were pretty close with Grant in the AWD Scoob the couple of times we raced, I want a re-match!!! Cheers, Grant
frank c Posted August 8, 2005 Posted August 8, 2005 Happy days M8... Spoke to Andy F this morning about a remap......need more power...LOL Bet you can't wait for the next outing.. Frank
RS Grant Posted August 8, 2005 Posted August 8, 2005 Nope cant wait for the next one now, I'm not sure if I've qualified for the Ultimate Street Car on the 21st August..... I'm going to e-mail Willie at Crail to see what chance there is to be included in the list, as hopefully I'll have my anti-lift kit fitted which should help reduce the amount of wheels spin I got. Cheers, Grant
BAZ 1256 Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 i didnt make it down to crail this time, but my dad was down with my car, 2L corsa( blue and white) anyone see it?? says he kept missing third gear, but he got a 13.8 with it.
RS Grant Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 It appears that I beat the AWD Scoob's best time.... Other bit of news is that a friend with a GT4 qualified for the Top 10 AWD Group but has since had engine trouble so I've e-mailed Willie to find out if I can take his spot with my 12.6.. Cheers, Grant
