Bring the Porsche then, or take the van up the strip and see what time it does filled with horse shoes and stuff.

[Don]

Saw Josh (ex Colt and Silvia) and he has a new ride. He might be interested in coming...will have to wait and see.

 

[DaveDreads]

Why do I get the feeling it won't happen because of the sh*tty English autumn weather.

He has an Evo 8. I shocked him with the Juke. The Juke will not be running down Pod...even if I don't replace it in the next month!!!

Why whats next ?

 

[DaveDreads]

That's anyone's guess, Dan changes cars like women change shoes.

Really enjoyed the last drag day, yes it's not a proper track day but it's a lot less stressful on the tyres and brakes,
even with burnouts before ever run, not so good for the gearbox though.

And how much have you spent on the car since the last run?

 

[DaveDreads]

LOL indeed, although it would have needed £900 quids worth of work without the drag day,
can't have helped though.

And bashed the odd Scooby with the dog kennel if IIRC

 

[DaveDreads]

Indeed, not to mention panicking what's his names Skyline,
he had a bad launch and I had a perfect one, took him the whole 1/4 to catch me,
only took me by a car length at the line.

Although the last time I saw him he'd sorted out a minor boost leak and added more boost,
if I race him again he'll f*cking destroy me. lol

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

The destroyer will destroy everything this time I am t scared to rag it now haha

 

[DaveDreads]

The only car that thing's going to destroy is itself!

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

As the Italians say ' change gear when the pistons are dancing on the bonnet '
no doubt it'll kill the turbo doing 2.5k launch starts

Good luck trying to launch at 2.5k

it just spun at the front when i tried. I will be pleased just to see your dci turn up in one piece and not broke..

 

[tom172cup]

I got some slicks if your brave enough to launch at 5k:rasp:

 

[DaveDreads]

I was launching at 3k rpm on a frosty day last time,
plenty of grip if you've done a decent burnout.

Frosty...it was fookin freezin!!!!

 

[DaveDreads]

Should have took your car down the strip then you girl, I was nice and toasty with the heaters on all day,
while you were freezing in the stands, quietly weeping over your perfectly functional gearbox and changing your tampax! :rasp:

I'm so getting a dead arm the next time I see you. lol

 

[MartinR]

Flol.

Was that Don in the crowd with tampax up his nostrils?

No, that was Chris! Although Matt was sat at home in warmth with Aimee giving him a thumbprint!

I'll give it a go, I can't spin the wheels up unless I dump the clutch at 3-4k will my foot flat to the floor lol.

might leave your box and shafts on the line tho lol

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

Ahwell, at least I can say I've got that much torque, it spat the box out

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

i need to read up on launch control, It takes me forever to work it all out.

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

Don't you hold the paddles and a button, it selects first , you hold the paddles and rev. Let go and it controls the launch?
Or am I thinking of Ferrari 458's

 

[MartinR]

Easy

Clutch down, select 1st, stamp on go pedal till the limiter kicks in then let the clutch out..

Jobs a good un.

 

[DaveDreads]

Then get on the phone order a new gearbox from Audi.

 

[Flat Eric]

Yes you are!!! :rasp:



No, that was Chris! Although Matt was sat at home in warmth with Aimee giving him a thumbprint!

I was so cold!

I'd wrapped up warm too! Cold to the bone!

 

[Badbuzz2]
