me too!cat171 said:Matt Black - are you coming to the rr day on sunday ??
I wouldn't mind seeing under the bonnet of it.
who said i was stayin with std gearbox ?Fred2001Dynamic said:the5 with the 172 turbo engine doesn't stand a chance IMO, the gearbox will self distruct
well considering that the quickest r5 in the country is already faster that 11.5 you dont know that much do you.MATT BLACK said:Ive rebuilt the car and im aiming for 11.5 at over 125 this year - then when i fit my Nitrous kit im hoping to make it the 1st 10 sec front wheel drive car in the UK
I will chew that R5 up and spit it out - the JC5 129 box will implode at anything above 250 bhp - mine went twice at 250 bhp running an F4R 736 ( 2.0 16v 172 ) with 75 shot of NOS
And i will stick a £200 cash bet on that as well
( these R5 lads.......i dont know !! )
MATT BLACK said:Just out of interest what you spending the £7 - 10k on ?? personally i would invest some of it in an uprated gearbox and uprated pistons, crank and get the bottom end braced - as for your head ?? they chuck lifters through the side of the head at 250 bhp + did it to mine twice. I would also consider a custom manifold that would host a VF34 are a VF35 IHI turbo - set up correctly with a 3inch exhaust system and a some green 440 injectors you should see 300 bhp +

as for the 1st 10 sec fwd car, id hurry up and get urs on the strip mate as sum1 mite be beatin you to it very soon, not me as i havent started my build as of yet as im still sortin out my final spec but i wouldnt wait around if you seriously do wanna be the 1st :butt:
MATT BLACK said:Ali - stop e-mailin me pics of yourself naked
maxed out at that lol, you need to take a trip to a company called ms motorsport, now they are buildin a proper beast that will show you what a r5 gtt can really do as thats still on the 1.4 lump.MATT BLACK said:The quickest R5 has done 11.4 your right - but i think and many others do hes maxed out at that.......and thats were i come in.
Steve - i am going to race you at the pod and beat you - lick my balls
whos running the 1.4 ?????TheJesus said:an autobahn style head to head would be more interesting and show how limited the 1.4 engine is above certain speeds... 1/4 mile is too short for cars like these
i do drag racing purly for fun tbh, it gives me a rush drivin a fast car but if there was sum money on the side line then so be it, not to bothered but if its there ill take ya money from ya lolDubai182 said:I dont know boys and their toys!!!!
Sounds like a good old fashioned drag race is needed! As i've never been to the strip do you guys place side wagers at all or is it purely just fun? If your gonna spend so much $$$ i reckon it would be nice to get some side action...
