Santa Pod 24/4/05

[MATT BLACK]

managed a 13.0 @ 112 - still spinning like mad. Will see 12s when LSD has been fitted.

 

[Nafoff]

good work, really want to see this, are you taking it to FCS

 

[bigmouk]

is it possible to remap while your there with an smt6 or somethin ??

then you could try out different maps and see at what power wheel spin is reduced, when the turbo comes in etc..

dont know a great deal about all that so just a thought !

 

[Jase16v]

13s v good nice to see it coming down! Hope you get a good deal on tyres as it sounds like you leave most of them down the strip!

I can confirm (as can the residents of Padiham) that it really does spin like mad...

That car is fcuking mental, I am still buzzing after driving it on Sat!

On saturday the RR showed 235 bhp!!!! .........little did i know the boost control switch had blown its fuse limiting the turbo output power ( 0.9 bar instead of 1.4 bar ) So i replaced the fuse when i got home ( now back at 285 bhp ) . So Rich - you will find the car will be a hell of a lot quicker now its at full power. Will let you have another go shortly.

Oh my God... it was stupidly quick only at 0.9bar, I cant wait to sample full boost!!!

If you wanna run when you come to our RR day in 3 weeks there is space, or try to blag a free run off Rob!

 

[JayGTT]

got some DRAG SLICKS watch that time drop, you should take at least .5 seconds of your 13.00

I was at Santa Pod yesterday and saw you! I recognised the car when you were on the line and said to my mate "watch this", to which he replied "what??? 1.2 clio??".........................................."OH MY GOD"!!!!!

Loved the look of the huge FMIC when you ran without the front bumper, and the sound was immense. What turbo are you running? Sounded like a K04? Massive wheelspin is always going to be a problem, especially on those wheels! Will be good to see what the LSD is like.

I ran my Ibiza Cupra which just has a remap and got a 14.6 @ 95.5 which I was pretty happy with, but it was so busy I could only get in 3 runs. Going back for the RWYB in 2 weeks to try and improve.

 

[MATT BLACK]

hi mate - yes im running a K04 turbo linked up to a DTA engine management system. Traction is a major problem but hopefully the LSD will sort that out. I couldnt believe the attention the car was recieving off the V-dub / audi / seat lads..... i thought they would have kicked up a fuss about a renault being there, but they were really good about it and very interested in the whole renault / audi concept. My mate was running the MK1 scirocco.... he managed a 12.8 @ 114 but that was with NOS. Will probably see you at the next event

[Dan_mk1]

So pod was run at 0.9bar? or at full power? Either way, thats f**king mental! I want it!!!

 

[MATT BLACK]

pod was run at full 1.4 boost - like i said........the wheels were spinning like mad with proper racing slicks at 14psi !!!

 

[Fred@BTM]

and you never even rung me to tell me you were going!!!!!!

i was only 30min away too!!

Bugger!!

 

[MATT BLACK]

going again in a few weeks fred and camping out if you fancy it - there will be a few of us going up on the sat night.

Im aiming for 12s this weekend with a few tweeks and soon i will be fitting an IHI turbo and manifold.....combined with an LSD i should be seeing 11 sec quarters within the next year.

 

[StevieP]

Ur running this beast round the track at FCS arent you j3ned? Ill bring a few spare sets of underwear methinks for when I see you in my rear mirror (for like half a second)....

 

[MATT BLACK]

im booked on but dont know if i want to track it - the car is built for straight lines, so im not to sure. Might have a little blast ??

 

[Graham Gooch]
