tim_wilkinson Posted October 12, 2003 Posted October 12, 2003 somewhere near asda I think - but I might be wrong
toby69 Posted October 12, 2003 Posted October 12, 2003 Everyone is meeting in the Currys car park just along from Asda on your left. I'm just getting ready to head into Huntly to see if there is still some people meeting there for the run over to Elgin.
gardner Posted October 12, 2003 Author Posted October 12, 2003 johnny r6 my best time was 13.9 and iv got a 2000 turbo 5 door silver standerd but dont do what tim duz at the line 6000rpm and dump clutch i did it and my car didnt like it il no do that again tim ur mad doin that m8
tim_wilkinson Posted October 13, 2003 Posted October 13, 2003 u'll have to come in with me next time craig - I've never got more than 4500-5000 when I set off, and I don't side step the clutch, just feed it in (fairly briskly) as soon as I feel the wheels start to spin I make sure the clutch is all the way out. Honestly don't know if this is the right or the wrong way but it seems to work fairly well. OR it could just be that I'm a bloody good driver???!!!????!!?!? ha ha
johnnyr6 Posted October 14, 2003 Posted October 14, 2003 Think i'll need to practice my starts then as i'm only using about 2 to 3 thousand revs to get it off the line. Tim there is a nice photo of your car spinning the front wheels off the line on the strathycruise site. The silver scooby your racing in the photo is mine (although you can hardly see mine).
johnnyr6 Posted October 14, 2003 Posted October 14, 2003 Did any of you see the guy kev with the P1 coming off the line, His times are in the 12's and his car is standard. No wonder he is on his third gearbox. His car looks well abused too.
jacqui_robb Posted October 14, 2003 Posted October 14, 2003 Yeah, never really had a chance to c on the day but have watched every1's vid's and he is so quick off the line - no wheelspin. no turbo lag, nothing! Nae fair!!! I had the revs about the same as you, but just cant get off the line quick enough. No revs off line = 0-2000revs - turbo lag. Revs of line =wheelspin! Cant win 13.9 still sounds good to me My fastest was 13.57 , but least we both now if we can get off the line quicker we can bring our times down. Gives me something to aim for......
tim_wilkinson Posted October 14, 2003 Posted October 14, 2003 JohnnyR6 - cheers for the info re the photo - hadn't realised it was up there - new wallpaper on the PC at work me thinks!!
johnnyr6 Posted October 14, 2003 Posted October 14, 2003 Well miss, thats a good time, wot have you done to the car? I can't wait till next year when maybe i'll have some cash to spend on the car and get the boost up and get in the 12's (i'll wake up in a minute). How much work do you think is needed to get about 350bhp?
tim_wilkinson Posted October 14, 2003 Posted October 14, 2003 Johnny - I think u should know Miss Scooby's car is an sti type r, the way it goes I reckon its got about 300ish, its probably a good 75-80 brake up on us dopes that bought uk models!! From what I have seen the type r's get off the line a lot better (trick centre diff), I'm sorely tempted to ditch the UK and find an sti over winter - especially as I'm away to be banned next week for what looks like 6 months (speeding) - not bothered tho, was thinking about taking it off the road for winter anyway!
johnnyr6 Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 Tim my car is a sti aswell with about 270 at the crank as it is standard (227 at the wheels) and i beat a type r twice on that day (the white one with white wheels) It did have about 300 bhp but the jap spec chip it was running was making it dettonate so had to be removed ( i couldn't believe how much slower the car felt without it)
tim_wilkinson Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 jeez - suppose my mine's quite quick for a uk with a decat then?
johnnyr6 Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 certainly is, although i only manage a 14.5 when i raced you but you must have been in the 13's.
gardner Posted October 15, 2003 Author Posted October 15, 2003 next time ur at crail ur on tim i like the pic of ur car at the line when uz goin to crail next. r u goin to star for the RR craig
gardner Posted October 15, 2003 Author Posted October 15, 2003 what about u jak r u cumin down for the RR at star
tim_wilkinson Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 no not going craig, am in court next week for totting up from speeding - will defo get banned so I won't be able to drive. Looking for folk to drive my car to crail, think I've got someone lined up. Johnny most of my times are in 13's, some very early 14's if I've had a crappy reaction (0.7+) - key is to go when the amber one goes off - not when the green comes on When's everyone off to Crail again?? I'll get a driver lined up!
jacqui_robb Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 Isn't RR on 9th November? - thats Max Power day @ Crail. Mmmm, think u can guess what my plan 4 that date is! Will be last event b4 scooby is off road 4 winter. Tim, re my scooby of the line - didnt use DCCD. Track was dry. Dont really think there'd be anything between mine & JohnnyR6's STI.
johnnyr6 Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 Bummer, i didn't realise crail was the same day, think i'll be at crail then. Miss scooby i think your car will be slightly quicker than mine as at the moment my car is totally standard and still has the cats on it. (hopefully not for too long).
gardner Posted October 21, 2003 Author Posted October 21, 2003 il have to go to crail got some toys on my car il have to TRY and beet u this time jak note the word try prob wont craig
gardner Posted October 21, 2003 Author Posted October 21, 2003 tim how u get on at court . never got my pics from gatso yet so think im ok. il b at crail so hope to c u there il have to go for a run down the 1/4 wi u
tim_wilkinson Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 not in till thurs morning Craig - got a few things up our sleeve but I reckon its a defo ban like, a ton+ and a 99mph on my license already will make certain of that. Have definetly got someone to drive the car down to crail for me tho so I will be there. I vote we all stick together and have a wee competition between us all - good idea? Jaq - u have to give us all a 1 sec buffer tho!!! ha ha
johnnyr6 Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 Looks like it'll be a good day. I'm going up with a few mates with rs turbos so i'll see you all there. Oh how do you put a photo next to your name? i've tried but it wont let me.
tim_wilkinson Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 johnny - u have to make sure its shrunk enough, email me the image if you want and I'll email it back the right size (tim_wilkinson@email.com)
