Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
i dont understand why its recording such quick times:S a Lamborghini Gallardo does 0-100 in 11.0 sec and thats 500bhp. i surpose it does show it has improved tho which is the main thing:approve:
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
lol bit of a power difference between the 2, your 70bhp up even if he is 130kgs lighter. id be very shocked if you was'nt pulling 13's in a tb'ed cup.
Matteh come along mate, it brilliant fun:D
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
:D
mate i won't be missing brands for the world, really can't wait abit like a kid at christmas lol
Matteh : you coming brands aswell mate? i know you wont be driving but you should pop up to see everyone and get some free passanger rides. i'll take you...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
well that data is wrong i promise;) actually getting anywhere near 13's at pod is bloody hard, on the road it probably will do as its alot easier to launch. id be very happy for you tho if it does do a 13 as so far none of the f4r lot have done it in a mk1...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
still far to quick lol, tell matteh to stop dreaming;) at a bloody push id say 13.8 at the most, although it will probably be 14.0 ish imho. im basing this on most mk1's hybrids getting low 14's in std f7r form. cliolord/martin have done 13.1's at speeds of...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
nice although an avarage of 11.34 seems abit too quick. that would put it around an 11.5qtr which just is'nt possible in its current spec
depends how stiff you want the ride, ive got a full set fitted to my mk1 hybrid and they give the car alot more feedback over std but are also alot stiffer, improved the handling quite abit on mine and feels more planted/stable in the corners imo. im also running coilovers and a strutbrace, cant...
Friend of mine has been bugging me for ages to pc his lexus is 200 so as it was a bank holiday this weekend i told him id give the barge a going over. he forgot to order a pot of swisswax so that will be got this week and applied. Camera batterys also decided to die after just a few pics so...
got a karhcer k2.21 few months back, also got a 3 year warranty so if it f**ks up i get a brand new one ( £85 all in from argos i think it was ). been a good bit of kit tho and produces loads of foam when used with a foam lance. if i need less pressure i take a few steps back, works well for me;)
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
bingo:D should feel alot more lively once all fixed as f-series engs need all the revs they can get in n/a form plus you would of been missing a nice part of that 5k kick thing they have:D
Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread
most mine has seen on track is 115 deg max, thats an f7r with std oil cooler running 10w/40 semi synt. have used 5/40 also but was like water so burnt of abit quicker and made tappets even louder. i would be very very worried f i ever saw 150+
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
nowt wrong with the box, id point the finger at the ecu, probably not getting the right info from some sensor and limiting the revs the engs producing...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
what speeds are you getting through the rest of the gears at the limiter? this is mine on my old valver box to give you an idea http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKIA0WMXVA0&feature=channel

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
hmm does'nt sound right, i was able to get 140 out of my old jb3 ( valver box ) with the f7r, 140 @7k dead on. in your vids it sounds like the car is hitting the limiter way to early......
Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread
hmm not sure if the driveshafts being to long is the problem, i say this because 172 and r19 shafts are very close length wise and they have been used without any issues. i had a passanger side r19 shaft fittted and someone else on williamsclios had the...
