Shakey RWYB Weekend - Sat 17th / Sun 18th

[Adele AW]

Congratulations!!!!!!  The ballshit stops when the flag drops! 

ive got to sort that idle out!!  doe!!  but thats got to be at least 15hp more, i think it has more torque now aswell

were the runs on the c12?
 if so, we'll have to talk about some little changes to get you into the 10s with that motor, cos its definetly possible with a little tweeking

well done again, sorry about the decklid!!!

Cheers Dude.... The Runs were on C12 yeah! You know how i feel about the tens One thing im not sure about is, i hit my shift limit a wee bit before the line which was 7.3k, now not sure if i want to hold out on 3rd any longer as i think theres some left in it , or if the EFI affects that ?!

Adele, your motor sounds lovely on those throttle bodies! really crisp and responsive - they have a unique induction sound, which I really dig! Wicked

Thanks for the videos Harv Really appreciated, need to get more recordings this year

no problem at all,gave me something to do camcorder is always with me so welcome to borrow any time you like ,just got to put glens run up on here,
but been a bit manic with my cat herbie going missing but luckily my neighbour found her this morning behind her wheely bin with a piece of string round her neck!!! not sure if some arsehole had done it ,but any way shes ok and at home

I keep going over that in car footage  , im quick from first to second and slightly longer to third and then in third longer before changing to fourth, from what i can see im in fourth over the line at 8k ? Normal shifting in the other gears around 7.5k.

Not sure if i seem to be running out of gears, or if the box now needs to change because of the EFI, or am i just talking out of my rear end ?

I cannot hold out any more in first and second and pretty sure im at the limit of 4th ? 

Im getting on my own nerves with all this geeking our and analysing

Im doing my own head in now  only just really started thinkiing about it re-watching the footage ! We did originally ask Pete to built a box suitable for low 12's maybe high 11's   

[Black Sheep]

Well Ive learnt cheep CV's dont like launching at 5 grand  the german one's bus and bug are fine , cheepo's are mashed .
Hope that was the clicking noise and why it did'nt want to turn and not the diff

dont worry, i can get the motor to keep its power to 8000rpm, with i a little loss of low down power (when your in trafic going to tescos will be more of a pain! ) that way you will be able to hold each gear alittle longer, but you are getting to the limits of everything!! rpm,gear,time, ect,ect, but thats when the cars at its quickest

you'll get there, some people have tried for years and years to get where you are now in such a short amount of time, its all in the combination.

ive finally had time to put some more pics up
here we go
 

[wolfswest]

both nice results...

Glenn, what's your setup and estimated hp please? 

thx,

Dem

[Black Sheep]

Im running a home bulit 2165 with a engle 125 streight cut gears /ratio rockers , heads are 42/37 with a good port and polish , weber 48's with a stock pump and 110 dizzy .
Estimated hp around 175 . putting it though a box built by cogbox with all the right bitz
Goona strip the motor down over the winter or when i break it  hope to squeeze close to 200 bhp out of it then .
Busted up my diff last run due to too long a drive shaft's  lesson learnt . hope to have it all back together for Gary's Picnic .
Car feel's strong and I know there's more in it with more seat time
