[HYBRID]

great news kon!! what happend to your members garage thread btw?

would u believe i never made one since weve closed the members car's threads :haha: thanks mike

nice to hear this Kon well done

thanks jason!!

Kon, when do we get to see some pics or vids of this V in action ? or should we all head down to Malta for the next outing ?

i wanted to take a vid but err i was too caught up in the 1st run lol... cause of the clutch she only ran twice down the strip.. if u wanna come over ur more than welcome its on the 17/18th april I should be joined by my team mates that day (mr hks power should be back on track to try and beat/repeat his personal best of 11.4 & keith should be having his new setups debut.. lets hope we all finish in time lol)if i get the clutch & gbox sorted out in time.. which seems like its not gonna b easy..

cheers

Epic result dude. A pat on the back & a beer for all your effort/time/money etc.. :beer:

thanks mate, its been a big headache, but weve finally hit the nail on the head

well...i now saw this kon---u know i dont really frequent these sections

anyways.........good work man....and good stuff from your "team" also

i'm proud of you..i know u put a lot of time, money and effort into it over the years...and its worth it all now....

i know u will try to go better and better....keep it up:rockon::rockon:

once u keep taking ALL my advice u will break the 9 sec barrier soon also:haha::haha:--just kidding,,,, well maybe:haha:

thanks andy!! really means alot coming from you mate, seriously, its true the clutch only gave us 1 semi decent run as it was still slipping thoughout the run (the 1st the whole 1st run lol).. but she still clocked quite a decent time, but im sure with a new clutch & uprated plenum installed we should see a good increase in mph.

Anyways guys and girls, i would love to give u the direct pics via link, but mdra have turned the wesite via flash, so if u like have a look at this link, i was very happy to find out the 1st two featured pics are of my glanza, then there are another 3pics in the middle of all the photos, so ull need to scoll through most of the event.. i love the burnout pic lol!!

hehe true words have never been spoken tanz although at the moment its proving to be a difficult task to be sorted by the 19th as our supplier still hasnt sent the clutch out as ORC are being a headache & my plenum isnt finished as somebody misplaced the throttle body & we cant find it, but these are just minor setbacks, im sure as hell not giving up, i will keep on battleing those 400m till she acheives her maximum potential, i know there is a limit, where exactly that lies is still to be seen as she can take another 8psi for sure.. slowly slowly she will get there, we just have to push it to the limit & with some good luck im sure she will be back with good news, if not in april then in june

great result mate. keep it up. will look forward for your may update on this.

Thanks martin, im very very happy shes made it this far!! i will keep u all updated!

So in other words watch this space everyone we have a Maltese guy with tunnel vision on a misson....

The wee set backs add to it and makes the journey all the better in my opinion...

Youll be in your pipe and slippers speaking of all this with the leg still shaking as it does when you cross that line in years to come....

i wont be changing the gasket lol, my cr is already as low as ud ever want to go.. she can take 2 bar as she is.. i just want to try & see the best time she can do with the boost she has, after the new clutch & plenum are installed.. im sure she will do better then we will up the boost later on in the year & see the changes.. but ill need more than these 460cc injectors coz as they are at 22psi on the 18g they are totally maxxed out lol.

keep an eye out, this year should be a good one if all goes well

nice result mate!! must b some feeling!!

the satisfaction of the car running the time it did with a few things not working propperly & me having mapped the car is something which i can barely explain.. its this huge feeling of satisfation, like it was a massive accomplishment for me, something i was afraid of 3 years ago, i have acheived, so above being happy that iv clocked a good time & shes made a massive leap forward, iv also managed to prove to myself that im capable of tuning the emu propperly! (well for drag racing at least lol)

thanks for the kind words mate!

haha!! ur so right tanz!! spot on target really, i could barely stand up when she did the 12.5 let alone if she does better!! its a fantastic journey im doing with my team mates, ie keith, & mr hkspower, this year were all on a mission, chris aka hkspower is on a mission to repeat/try & best his success of 11.4 & keith is going to do his best to acheive a 12/11 sec run, so the 3 of us have high goals this year, if all goes well (which im sure it wont & it will be a bumpy road lol) we will all succeed, or at least we will die trying, of that i can assure u!!

thanks

Its the weight of the driver during the launch... more weight on driver's side = pass side will lift more during the launch shel
