Driver Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 for those who asked yes it was him at TOTB with the holes in the bumpershe blew a turbo up on the way down there so had to change his turbo at the side of the road lolas far as i know he did a 12.5 but i left abit early so dont know if he did any better or anything Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbus Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 How did it go? In a word badly, but i suppose it wasn't all that bad considering. I had a puncture the night before (stranded on m1 at 11 with no spare) so had budget tyres on the rear, i fitted off a mates car at half 11) Set off at 6 and by 7 i was spannering the turbo off at the side of the m18 after a pretty caterstrophic failure. Anyway with 10 miles to run in and map a new turbo i suppose we did ok, i left the car on the rich side, which with the high inlet temp's and compensation maps the car was really rich on the strip.i 'think' i may of seen this yesterday, will have to look through the pics..If you've got any pic's or vid's stick them up here.was this the one runnin at 10 of the best on sunday? with holes cut into the rear bumper to reduce drag?Yes i was. Are you a member of passion ford aswell. Im sure i've seen a thread of your car on there. My name is because!!!! on passion ford.

Nice civicSite's sometimes a bit iffy. But not that bad.Results for TOTB are all here.http://www.redlinemag.com/for those who asked yes it was him at TOTB with the holes in the bumpershe blew a turbo up on the way down there so had to change his turbo at the side of the road lolas far as i know he did a 12.5 but i left abit early so dont know if he did any better or anythingYes i think my best was 12.53 at 112mph. I should have been doing over 120 terminals but it didn't happen on the day.Managed a 4th in handling on my first run, (I braked for a corner that wasn't there as well) My second run i pushed a little bit harder.... a bit 2 hard. And sent it sideways through the cones. (good rear tyres) I never even pumped the fronts back up after drag so did the handling with 9psi in the fronts.A long day but a good laugh.
