182 Cup 1/4mile

[Sh*tbox]

Alright fellas,


I know the Clio is all about the corners, but what do they cover the 1/4mile in?

Im guestimating mid-high 14's at 95ish mph?

 

[davo172]

If your car is std it Will run mid to low 15s at 89- 92 mph

 

[tom172cup]

^ this seems quite realistic tbh

 

[Sh*tbox]

Fair play boys. I will keep ya posted. ( I don't have a 182. But my cousin does)

Hopefully he can break into the 14's.

 

[MartinR]

^^^I very much doubt he will unless he has a freak engine!

 

[warwickstingray]

Perfect start, good car and ideal conditons. 15secs. Any one of those 3 missing and i'd be surprised.

 

[Jackwoody]

We will have to go a see

 

[Owen_m]

get everything you possibly can out of the car before the run, do it on a cold damp day on a good dry track. thats when you'll go fastest *don't expect it to make a massive difference but maybe a bit

 

[Jackwoody]

Ye il get everything I can out adjust tyre pressures keep then engine cool as I can etc.. Gunna go get some new Tyres first aswell

 

[davo172]

If you strip it you will be in the high 14s I was talking full trim std car

I'm even going to take a MASSIVE s**t before

 

[Stu.]

My stripped out Ph1 (no carpets / tar / nothing) Got a 14.9. So a stripped 182 could be about that maybe?

 

[Sh*tbox]

What Mph stu?

 

[syko6288]

i managed a 15.4 with passanger with just rear seats out but tbh with a better lauch i could have managed a 15

 

[tom172cup]

Is he going to Shakespere on the 8th?

What was your 60ft mate,

 

[Djw John]

Dave and I have ran 14.4s at crail before with largely standard and mildly stripped cars before

 

[Matthew]

15.3 at York with standard car.

 

[Sh*tbox]

What mph for both of you? 1/4 ttimes on their own are a little irrelevant.

Crail always seems very optimistic with times.

 

[Djw John]

I'd have to go look, so I hear but stus time was also set at crail so who knows

 

[Deany]

ran 15.1 in my cup at 90-something mph at pod. completely standard, shot tyres and full tyre pressure.

 

[Fred@BTM]

13.9 for me (standard engine internals and intake, still with CAT) stripped out car, well 950kg with a bit of fuel and me

What mods have you done?

Thats Inpressive mate, what HP? What mph did you cross the line and what 60ft?

;decent rubber?

 

[Fred@BTM]

What mods have you done?

got an engine from the scrap yard, put a cambelt on and put it in, that's it (plus a TDF remap - 190bhp apparently!)

60ft i have no idea it was last year, but it was bang on 100mph over the line from memory, i'll have a look and see if i can find the slip

 

[Jackwoody]

Totally standard engine + remap (really make any diff?) decent tyres?, what kinda day was it cool?

 

[Fred@BTM]

its a freak car/engine

 

[Sh*tbox]

The fact it weighed 950kg with driver and fuel would have made a massive difference,

/standard car is 1090KG + driver could be 1150 etc. 200kg heavier.

 

[Jackwoody]

I take it you stripped very single thing out to lose that much weight!

 

[wayne9989]

It was that much of a freak it blew up!

What are people's reaction times?

My 172 Cup does mid 14's all day long with a 2.2 second 60ft time.

Reaction times are not included on RWYB days.

 

[wayne9989]

Well what's the point in that? A big part of drag racing is all about reaction times.

I have reaction times on all my slips from Shakespear County Raceway.

 

[Sh*tbox]

So do I from Santa Pod. But reaction times are not "included" in your ET.

You can sit for 10 seconds staging up and still post a better ttime than your opponent.

 

[davo172]

Reaction times are not included on RWYB days.

They ARE on All my timing slips !!!

 

[Sh*tbox]

They ARE on All my timing slips !!!

What drag strip do you use? We are not drag racing we are RUnning what we brung, to see how quick the car is. Glad I use SP now.

[wayne9989]

what blew up?

Your black Clio with the "special map" I'm sure that's what you told me anyway!

 

[Sh*tbox]

They are on there, but I bet they ain't included in your ET.

 

[tom172cup]

Other than Scoffs car whats the best time a clio has run. what did that Audi engined one run?

 

[Chris n nic]

My cup STD got 15 dead. Rsport ecu on my next visit got me a 14.4 at 95 ish iirc. Decat and exhaust and rear bench out got me a 14.17 @ 97.5 mph. Not been for a long time but after I got a remap i got a 14.2 @ 98.5 with a 6800 limit so I reckon sub 14 should be doo able now it is a bit more stripped. Managed a 5.39 0-60 pre strippage too but it has always been a bit of a freak
