did you run your S14a on the strip?

if so, i think i've got you on video :thumbs:

[VIDAL BABBOON]

Nah mate the Que was huuuuuuuge when we got there so we all said sod it lol

Saw you with the bonet up at about 4:00 everything ok ?

[Escy]

retarding the timing and lowering the boost abit.

it ran like a bag of shite on my 3 runs and the only place i could test my changes was on the strip :rolleyes: :annoyed:

best i could muster was 14.6 @ 103mph. the terminal speed is respectable :thumbs:

there was an S14a i got on video. looked just like yours. ran a 14.8, so i was guessing it wasn't you ;)

you should have come over to say hi. i didn't see any of you welsh lads all day :confused:

Hey escy. Im gonna have to see your car some time soon. Sounds like its come a long way since i saw it last.
I had some good news the other day. A friend of mine looked at my car and assures me its fixable without new panels and jigging. So hopefully its gonna cost me less than i expected and should be fixed a lot sooner aswell.
Hopefully i can make it to the next meet (not in the sx though)

I didn't even realise you were up there mate!

Good luck with repairing the car Muttley mate - would be a shame for her to go to the big scrap yard in the sky!

[VIDAL BABBOON]

Escy mate everytime we were looking around you were elsewhere lol

I was parked about 10 feet from you when you had the bonet up alongside the flip painted skyline !

And that terminal is respectable what was the problem then ? Traction ?

[Escy]

i was getting wheel spin through 1st, some in second and a little on 3rd too.

i think the problem was more down to me timing my gearchanges when i heard det rather than concentrating on the driving. also, my launches were a bit pussy and i was changing at 6k in 1st because i wasn't sure if it'd det (as it was wheelspinning as the boost kicked in).

i've got the bug now. i'll be back and will want to hit a 13 second run. :thumbs:

is Santa Pod the closest drag strip as its a long way away, i did nearly £70 on petrol :(

Ben, next time i see you mate, i'll take you out for a spin. hope yours can get sorted on the cheap :thumbs: has your dad paid up for the front end he mashed yet? :smash:

[Muttley_109]

LOL no i forgot about the front end! Thanks for reminding me :D
I'll get onto him about that.
