The Cal-look Lounge

The word says that the skinne beetle ran 8,02/281kmh today att kjula. Thats sick :)

 :o :o :o ?

Yup. 8,02 @ 281kmh. Clooooooose to a 7!

Insainly good!

Chuff me! thats awesome!

That's insane! Tor Øyvind's car is something else... When I talked with him after Scc he had good hopes, as the eightmile times reaveled potential of F A S T runs if the track was good enugh... I guess he was right...  And while he deserves all the credit for an amazing engine and car, it has to be said that Jens Petter is no slow shifter either... H pattern isn't the quickest system :o And as to the material of his balls, let's just say it's amazing that he is a dad!!!

Totally amazing,well done to all involved,I think what you have achieved is incredible anyway,but to do it with a floorpan car is just mind blowing :o  Now everyone else needs to work harder to even get close,hopefully there is some video of this to watch,we can all learn from what you have achieved :)

cheers richie

How many Volkswagens are faster than this?

If I'm not mistaken two cars in the USA are in the sevens...

Holy C...!!!!

 and when you think of how the Skinne beetle loves to play it wide, I was wondering if we, here on the lounge, had to chip in for a wheelbarrow to Jens Petter?! So he wouldn't get a sore back... .... I was thinking of the size of the man's cojones!!! :o :o :o

There are three bugs within 0.4 of a second... The slowest is a pan car

0.13 of a second ;)


7.89 to 8.02

The mind starts to wind up, what woud that engine produce in a"real racecar"?

I think it`s time to admit that this IS a real race-car!  ;D

Right you are!  ::)

I think Tor Oyvind has this car so well set up that it would be slower in most race cars,now what could Tor oyvind Skinne do with if he built a car specifically for the purpose of 1/4 mile,that really would be interesting 8)

Lets hope he doesnt though,already they make the rest of us look foolish :o :(

cheers richie

WOW that's insane   ;D well done

Unreal!

It's shocking to me just how far things have come. Back in the 90s I dreamed about a 10 second street car and most people said it was impossible.

This is simply awesome!  ;D

Hi .

281kmh  (175mph) !!! is impressive too .

Hi from Tor Ø and crew.having a bear to celebrate a fast run but still needs to be backed up to morrow.some bugs

Wow, congratulations. That truely is mind blowing stuff. Good luck with backing it up tomorrow  :)

Indeed mind boggling! Pan car with IRS. A real full body beetle doing an 8.0  :o
Now, who dares to tell Paradise Motorsport this news?  :D

X2

X3  ;D

WOW! Nice work guys!!
Is this still a Wasser engine using factory VW case and heads?
What size engine CC?

Good luck on backing it up. I hope you guys make it. Don't let the team drink to much beer this time  ;D

I guess from the pic I saw they are trying some aero stuff,that wing is different but it looks like it will actually catch some air out there.

Good luck today guys

cheers richie

 ;D ;D

saw this car at scc, turbo is huge,
but pancar an almost everything steel..  :o awesome :o
Respect

I've thought about something ....can you get a HK situation where the theory curve bends ... and now suddenly it's better to weigh more, ??? for some kind of stability or...??!?

 CONGRATULATIONS to ALL the team! :o :) :)

 Today we all sit with fingers crossed! When are they running today?!? :o

Congrats to a great run Skinne, And also Niklas Haglund who ran 9.55-228 with his ghia 1641cc

Waaaaaaw congrats to all! Just amazing!

Christoph

Wow great Niklas!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTFIxY1E5bk&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Ok, but what did he run today?

Nothing really today, i believe they had some clutch issues

Fantastic run!! Looks like the car got a new wing? Any pictures of it?

I would love to know some info on the car

Engine turbo etc
Transmission
Suspension

Cheers andy

Ok, tnx for the info.
I suppose a 1000hp can be a b*tch on clutches  :D

Just back after a FANTASTIC weekend at Kjula / Sweden. A big congratulation to Team Skinne and also to Niklas that managed a 9.55 - 142mph with his little 1641ccm engine!

Some pictures from the weekend, first off the new adjustable rear wing and air intake;

(http://www.raceinfo.no/temp/tn_DSC01638_1.JPG)

It actually created so much down force that it bent the rear apron so they had to adjust it for the next run.

Seeing is believing and look at that 1/8 mile, 5.19 and 141 mph  :o Apparantly the down force slowed the car down.

The driver enjoying a small champagne after finishing 4th overall in the super interesting 4to6 class and the 8.02 ET. They tried hard to back it up today but was fighting with minor clutch/launch issues. I really hope they will find motivation and time to take the car to Tierp in 2 weeks time  and that track is so good that anything can happen.

And Niklas celebrating his first 9:

Buy the 2010 SCC DVD where you get a guided tour under the car. Or even better, visit SCC and see for yourself.

Cheers andy

This is how a 400+ hp 1641ccm engine looks like:

And if you`re interested in turbos and fast cars then Kjula and 4to6 is the place to be:

A super nice Corolla:

A amazing Opel with a Volvo engine:

A Mitsubishi out on the strip for the first time. Managed a low 9 (!) and was put on a trailer due no cage or ET tag:

The 900+ WHP General Lee Audi.. go to youtube and find some crazy videos:

And to bring it back to topic, Absolut Folka was there:

And so was this fast car:

Great stuff, I'm not a turbo man but this sort of thing tempts me to the darkside :)

blimey thats fast  8)

Sunday racing did not go as we had hoped . Did an 8,66 going of the throtle and out out the track and inn again (bad traction/ cold). First run showed to my much wheelspin so we put some more slip on the clutch for next run. That was to mutch for the discs, so the clutch was gone . Unfortunately we could not back up the 8,02 but are really happy anyway . The new wing and air intake seemed to work nice.

Best wishes
Team Tor Øyvind Skinne Racing

Only a 8.66,that must be horrible to go that slow :o I still dream of going that slow ;D I mean fast :)  did you manage any other passes on the saturday? car looked super smooth so you must have the clutch set up pretty close to perfect now,can you say what single thing made the most improvement from SCC?

Hope you get a chance to run again this year :)

cheers richie

The car is swee Skinne! I'd like to see a pick of your rear IRS trailing arm set up. The car does not look to be raised or narrowed in the rear. I read that you are running a 7675 turbo. That is huge! Must take some Rs to get it to build 40#s of boost. Is it journal or ball bearing?
Thanks

Sorry for my late reply Andy and also for giving you the wrong year. Look here: https://platform.twitter.com/widgets/hub.html

The film you are looking for is the 2009 version, and you can get it here: http://www.sccevent.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=73&Itemid=1

Awesome job guys!! (http://cal-look.no/lounge/Themes/babylon/images/post/thumbup.gif) (http://cal-look.no/lounge/Themes/babylon/images/post/thumbup.gif)


I can attest to that! ;D

Cheers thanks, paid for can't wait to get it :)

Here comes the onboard video, enjoy!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_z5CBcJVuQ

Awesome! That car is violent!
and the run is over fast!  :D

I have tried for many years to get cars down the track in a hurry.....still it is hard for me to grasp this achievement. Well done, it's incredible!

Hopefully Skinne will do the same with the Beetle as they did with their ProStock Car (Ship it to the states and go against the top dogs)

i really really really would like to see more picks or videos of the famous ghia with the 1641 cc engine...
it is awesome. :-) ...   :o

One movie from outside the car!

Will see if a friend can post some pictures.

/The man with the Ghia

Hi Roar

nice to see you are still with us :)Hope you are good


there is no VW class statesdie for anything watercooled so I dotn see that being an option

cheers richie

He probably saves 20 kilos on dumping the water before racing. Or run it on methanol.

Cut waterjackets ;)
