Title: Who's will be the quickest?
Post by: paul_gt4 on August 16, 2008, 03:02:49 am
***Remember this is only a bit of FUN***

After a little discussion in another thread when both cars come back from their rebuilds in the near future who will have the quicker car?

Both cars will have their advantages, as i think mines will outpower chris' but on the other hand mines is a full weight car minus the air-con, whereas chris' is stripped out to the max.

It will be decided by time slips with a 1/4 mile pass.

Now get voting!!!!!

cause its a bit of fun between me and chris, thats all its not the fastest car on the EC (i'm sure someone else out there who is keeping quiet will be quicker I know tjc's car would roast the both of us if he still has it) i can edit the poll to suit if others are interested in getting there names added........

haha @ bazza

power wise for my car in the region of 650bhp with a full load minus the air con and a fat (damn swear filter lol) driving

Car before rebuild was in region of 530 with the extra five grand its getting its expected to well clear 600bhp on super and be well over 650 on race fuel sunoco 109 octane which both maps are being made for the car
Title: Re: Who's will be the quickest?
Post by: ChrisW on August 16, 2008, 07:44:24 pm
I don't know til I get it mapped, tho the limiting factor will be the turbo as it is rated to 2 bar and between 520-550bhp. We shall see ;)

Do we have a weight on the 185 or are we guessing? Whats been stripped out?
Title: Re: Who's will be the quickest?
Post by: ChrisW on September 14, 2008, 04:41:47 pm
Only got two Corbeau seats in the 185, literally. I keep meaning to get it down to the weighbridge, but I never have it for long enough, lol. I have put on a couple of kilos myself :( over the last 4 months but it will be negligible.

Title: Re: Who's will be the quickest?
Post by: paul_gt4 on September 21, 2008, 12:19:08 pm
nope it does not, i was wondering why there was a huge amp under the passenger seat, this also has been removed
Title: Re: Who's will be the quickest?
Post by: strapper on September 21, 2008, 04:13:52 pm
They were behind the trim where the standard speakers go, not in the boot. Just incase you were wondering
Title: Re: Who's will be the quickest?
Post by: fifegt4 on September 21, 2008, 04:44:25 pm
Any news on when your both getting your cars back?
Title: Re: Who's will be the quickest?
Post by: ChrisW on September 21, 2008, 04:58:57 pm
Still juggling bits around in mine to get it fitting well. Hopefully not too long before I can start the running in :D

i know there was uprated speakers and tweeters in the door pods, i'll have to check the rear and see when it comes back and fife i'm expecting a few weeks max with mines so hopefully be doing the run in period for the end of october
Title: Re: Who's will be the quickest?
Post by: fifegt4 on September 21, 2008, 05:38:30 pm
Cool i'll bet you cant wait, i'd find it really hard to keep the revs down when running in but i supose the cost of the rebuild on your mind would keep your right foot in check lol

Any word back from crail chris?
Title: Re: Who's will be the quickest?
Post by: ChrisW on September 22, 2008, 12:02:40 am
Not as yet, tho I shall be sending again. I think that if I can forward some details re the interest this is generating then we may have more of a chance?

Who would be interested in attending a 'north of the border' meet, date to be determined, for a weekend of frolics and fast fours?

I understand that Paul and I have started this, tho I would like to make this a club event...............camping, beer, music, beer, cars, beer........you know how it works. I will help organise everything for those who are enthusiastic ;)
Title: Re: Who's will be the quickest?
Post by: paul_gt4 on September 22, 2008, 12:55:55 pm
yeah exactly it was a good idea to begin with and it has generated some interest so why not make a day or two from it and make it a calendar day for the whole club, it gives the scots a chance to have some fun too as they might miss out on some events held in the south
Title: Re: Who's will be the quickest?
Post by: Redbeast on September 22, 2008, 02:23:58 pm
i thought that that was the plan all along!!

get some idea of dates so we can sort stuff out!!
Title: Re: Who's will be the quickest?

you did thats why i posted it up.......
Title: Re: Who's will be the quickest?
Post by: ChrisW on September 23, 2008, 11:16:33 am
OK, let's get an idea on numbers then. If you want to run your 4 for 1/4 mile, track time or just sit back and get the camcorder rolling, then camping after with a few beers can you put details below:

1. ChrisW - 1/4 mile - track time - camping
2. paul_gt4 - 1/4 Mile - Track Time - Camping
3. Fifegt4 - 1/4 Mile - Track time - camping (maybe)
4. Strapper-1/4 mile-track time- depending on when I get my four(it's getting painted insurance job )
5. Cee - 1/4 mile - track time - camping
6.
7.
8.

I can't guarantee if they will do a track event, but no harm asking ;) Date-wise I was thinking a Sat and Sun combo with camping from the Friday, any thoughts?

Cheers

Post by: ChrisW on September 24, 2008, 11:55:09 pm
Was thinking Crail, as this will be the first event in Scotland for the club. I'll not know about dates until I hear from the owner, I shall send an email shortly, but for example, I'm thinking around either November (maybe a little short notice) or more likely Feb-March?
Title: Re: Who's will be the quickest?
Post by: paul_gt4 on September 25, 2008, 12:20:19 am
i'm prefering next year tbh as i'll be a bit more flexible with cash as i've that bill too pay for the car, then heading to paris in december, and halloween is a major thing over here so a bit of cash spent there too.......... plus alot of petrol for a run in period
Title: Re: Who's will be the quickest?
Post by: ChrisW on September 25, 2008, 12:29:25 am
AS I say, Feb-March is more favourable. I shall find out more ;)
