Another great Cliosport day out. As usual Im totally exhausted now, and glowing red with sun burn.

Thanks to everyone who came. And well done all of you who bettered your times from last week, or who ran for the first time

Ive moved this thread to General Chat so more people see it. This was at the request of someone who ran a nice time in his Williams 1

and wants to show off.

007 · Aug 3, 2003

Come on then - what were the times?

Lee · Aug 3, 2003

I sucked today. 15.4

I just couldnt get it hooked up. Next time.......

Roamer · Aug 3, 2003

Well, my first and second runs were

15.100 & 15.119

007 · Aug 3, 2003

The heat wont have helped! What car was that in roamer?

Lee · Aug 3, 2003

Oh god, were only getting a build up

I wasnt going to blame the heat, but 37 degrees was somewhat on the warm side!!

Roamer · Aug 3, 2003

Williams 1 mate, Lee whats up with your temp gauge????? 37?????? it was about 30degC on mine and Jills gauges

Bryan · Aug 3, 2003

the heat was killing most times early on, got better towards the end of the day

in my 1.2 16v i run

18.541
18.540
18.900
18.245
18.242

then in bubbles 1.8 16v i run

16.8 (missed 2nd to 3rd gearchange)
16.5 (didnt drive to the limiter, plenty more to come from her little valver)

Lee · Aug 3, 2003

Sh1t, thats the replacement gauge too. It must already be on the blink

Last time if packed in it showed high, then higher, then very very high!!

Ill go and see if its calmed down and put the car in the garage. The little un deserves a rest after today.

Roamer · Aug 3, 2003

Nice one Brian! back down to 18.2s good lad!

Was getting a bit worried there for a while

Bryan · Aug 3, 2003

i was quite chuffed with the times in bubbles valver, seeing as it was the first time i had even sat in the car

even bubbles was happy with the times, there is a lot more potential from that car

yeah i got the times back down eventually, got to the point where i was launching from 5000rpm just to pull from the line without bogging down, i was getting too much grip earlier in the day

roamer, youre times were very very respectable on a day like today where the hat was causing all sorts of problems

Slugger · Aug 3, 2003

Im blaming the heat

My temp guage was showing 35 a couple of runs before we left.

Jas · Aug 3, 2003

what times did u get wayne?

rt172 · Aug 3, 2003

Back to York next weekend for me, this time stripped out, minimal petrol and bodge job induction kits. Anyone break the 14s today, or was it too warm?

Bryan · Aug 3, 2003

roamer and yoz both run a 14.9

that was about it though

far too warm

Roamer · Aug 3, 2003

Ok, Id better tell ya me last two runs eh....???

Ok, run number 3 was......

15.251

And run number 5 was......

My personal best so far........

14.923

(Run number 4 was in JillyBs 172 where I think I got a 15.9)

specialK · Aug 3, 2003

I ran 15.267

Roamer · Aug 3, 2003

Dude! Brian..... the hundredths and thousandths are important too matey!

Bryan · Aug 3, 2003

yeah suppose youre right there roamer

i just had no other information to go on

apart from it was a low 14.9

rt172 · Aug 3, 2003

Roamer, were you running stripped out? Is the Williams standard?

Rhys

Ps: Well done Kathy, but it just proves that silver ones are faster.....muahaha

Slugger · Aug 3, 2003

I think 5 14.9s a 15.1 and a 15.3 at the end god knows what happened there.

Slugger · Aug 3, 2003

Oh and my car was full interior again didnt get a chance to strip it yesterday and didnt want to do it there.

i think its more a case of fear of being embarrassed by the mighty 1.2 that forces you to try your hardest

Roamer · Aug 3, 2003

Wayne, what was the fastest 14.9 you put in??

Slugger · Aug 3, 2003

hehehe bambam

Roamer · Aug 3, 2003

Ok mate, Im fine gettin 2nd place LoL

so you got a 14.922 14.912 or a 14.902 then?

Bryan · Aug 3, 2003

Roamer · Aug 3, 2003

No way! the V6 only did 15.2???? LOL

Slugger · Aug 3, 2003

Bryan · Aug 3, 2003

wayne, i will bring my toolkit of you like, just to make sure you do actually do it and have no excuses

specialK · Aug 3, 2003

no you wont bambam - you lost it today!!!

BrynO · Aug 3, 2003

Great day out and good to meet with some of you guys - my virgin run was 15.6 and it went down hill from there, adjusted the T/C for more slip after each run, but that just made it bog down more (now I know how it works!), need to get the launch control fixed, before the next meet and who knows..... addictive stuff this...

y0z2a · Aug 4, 2003

Phew I am sooo tired.

Right - runs list

in order of what they are in the pile in front of me:

15.18

15.17

15.27

14.96 (thank god for that)

15.36

15.22

15.08

15.06

15.17

15.07

15.10

best reaction time:

legal - .548

illegal - .281

best races of the day:

beating a civic type r quite comfortably (however the chap wasnt au fait with the start sequence)

roamer and I having a cracking neck and neck which ended up with him having 14.9 and me having 15.1 or something like that

and racing an integra type r (import new shape) and getting beaten faily and squarely.

am so sunburned and tired now that i would like to die.

worst moment of the day: see lightweight windscreen post.
