Santa pod yesterday

[Gav_T]

There was one or two clios turned up yesterday,i was in the flame red one.I ran against someone off here,but im not to sure of his name.Did you run again or was that your only run?

The best i managed was a 14.7 @ 94mph,and i have got is a magnex system and some apex -40mm lowering springs.I also took out the spare wheel,jack and parcel shelf out but i can see them making too much of a difference.

I was well chuffed with my time because there was a focus rs that ran something like 14.5,a clio cup with more mods that ran a 14.6 ,astra turbo coupe that had been played with that ran a 15.0 and my mates ibiza cupra turbo ran a 15.7.

It was a good day just a shame it turned busy,but after 5pm it went quite and had i not broke my car i would have got more than my 7 runs in.

That was me mate, a blue 172 x21 plate? My best yesterday was a 15.4 but have run 15.3 before i was getting alot of wheel spin, poo driving i suppose.

Oh and mines standard. It was a good day only had four runs thou, what happend to your car then?

 

[Gav_T]

I reckon i might have done something to the gear seletor or something.On my last run i put it into 5th just after the finsh and i had to really fight it to get it in.Parked it up and kept putting it into 5th and it was rubbing/grinding on something.It cleared up on the way home though and its been fine all day.

My times were 1st run=15.4, 2nd=15.0, 3rd=14.9, 4th=15.1, 5th=14.7, 6th=15.1 and 7th=14.9.

Tbh my first run isnt very good because it was my fist go in my new car so i was unsure on how to lanch it.With a de-cat,decent filter,super chip and some semi slicks on 15" wheels i reckon my car is good for low 14s

yeah i also turned up, only got one run in my rsi, which was a very disappointing 16.5 (launch and other things messed up on the day)

Lee M run a 15.1 as his best for the day (03 Plate blue 172)

DeanRSis old car also showed up with its new owner, but AFAIK never run

shame it was a RSOC vs RTOC vs Punto Turbo OC meeting, made the day far too busy

 

[Gav_T]

Was yours the white clio with gold wheels?Might have been a valver tbh i didnt pay too much attention to it.

Did anyone see that reall sh*tty looking g reg nova start on cav gsi wheels?Bugger me that thing was rapid!We had a little ding dong on the way down and i saw him run a 14.5.Not bad for a car that cost less that 1k!

Did any one see how the black 911 RUF did?

 

[Gav_T]

No i didnt,but i did see that black AMG SL55 run a 12.5!And that rs200 ran a 14.4 on its first run.It soon ran a 12.5 after but it wasnt worth the 70k the owner spunked on it thats for sure.

Did anyone see that mental mk2 white escort?When i ran against it,it did a 12 flat @ 122mph......... bloody mental i tell thee!

Gav.

 

[adcooper]

I did not see the escort but did see the AMG that was cool. Did you see the WRC blue scooby run, can not remember the time but i think it was very quick?

 

[Lee]

Gav, it was me that come over and said hello at the start of the day.

Best I could manage was a 15.1 again. I gave up in the end as I was sick of sitting in the queue, so I went and watched a few runs then went home.

One of the guys I was with filmed quite a lot of it. Ill put some of the clips up when we get it chopped up.

The SL55 AMG was running some amazing times.

[adcooper]

Cool day cheers for letting me tag along Lee did you see the WRC blue scooby run?

 

[Bryan]

sadly i never really got to watch any runs, which is a shame, as there were some awesome cars their.

gav, i was in the completely looking standard blue rsi, only made one run though, the white one with gold wheels was deanrsis old car, dont think it run though

adam, i was the one that was speaking to lee, then came over and introduced myself, not sure if i said my forum name or not though,

 

[Lee]

The guy that owns Deans old Valver ran a 15.5 when I left. He was going to hang around until the end of the day until the queue had gone down a little.

 

[Bryan]

i think that must have been dan_mk1nova then, as he run a 15.5, just didnt know what car he was running

 

[Lee]

Yeah, that was his forum name. He now owns Deans old car.
