was at crail today after my dyno session yesterday(poor car) to see wat improvement i had... myself and scoobymodders went down from aberdeen and we met jezza there. i will let them tell there stories tho!

my car at 140bhp and 113 at the wheels was gettin 16.01 as its best time, so now with 147bhp and 120 at the wheels i wasnt expectin much difference!!

started out wit a few 16's, but soon started to get the hang of launchin the car, and managed a 15.7! was delighted with this, but there was so much more to come!:rockon:

by the end of the day i had a best time of 15.206 at 94.5mph. the 60foot was 2.652 so there is room for improvement there, and that was with a passenger :p
i think i could have maybe pushed a 15 dead without the passenger but ran out of time!!

all in all im delighted, cant wait to hit the 14's with a bar of boost!!

pics from the day.....

An eventful day to say the least. First of all I had an intercooler hose pop on the way up to crail. The frustrating part was that a civic flew past me while I pulled in to check what had happened. Just when you need boost, pop she goes!

Managed to get the pipe back on with extra torque on the clamps! Then it was drag time. Since it was my first time, the adrenalin was pumpin especially with h3ppy to my left looking for his next victim. He had me off the line on most runs but luckily my mid range clawed him back with a few close calls at the finish line.

Streetracer starlet beat me 2 out of 3 the git. With management on the shopping list, I'll have my revenge next time. One of the runs I missed 3rd gear and the crunching noise was painful!

Best time was 15.13 at 97.2mph. Plenty of room for improvement on reaction times and starting tecnique.

Ended the day with a little oil spraying through the breather. I think I'd previously over filled so hopefully that was the cause of it. Nursed the motor back down the motorway letting her rest after a hard days work.

Only one video of H3ppy on a solo run.
