It is still early in the season 8) Hats of to Stian, Torleif, Barbro and Chili :) Can you not read i said MPH not KMH. :P :D ;D But cool 243KMP is 150.99MPH Title: Re: New Norwegian record Post by: BeetleBug on May 03, 2009, 19:22:52 pm It was worth getting up early today to watch Stian and N20 (Roar) race against each other. Roar will keep on chasing the 9 and Stian is after for Hector Urihas record... not to mention the pan record. Congrats to both guys and thanks. Impressive stuff!
Also great to watch the Jesus sponsored Ford MK1 Escort managing a 9.09 and 252 km/h. That cossie engined little car is a struggle to keep straight with 855hp and 995nm but with help from above he improved his PB with over 1 second. I have to also mention the impessive Lindberg bros (http://www.lindbergbros.com/) team and their amazing Chevy Nova 67. Came to "our" SCC dragway with a PB of 6.59 and managed to improve it two times today and left the dragway with a 6,44. I wish all the drivers a really good season.

Title: Re: New Norwegian record Post by: Fasterbrit on May 04, 2009, 15:38:48 pm On the subject of imperial and metric...
What's the deal with imperial fastenings on aftermarket VW parts! Rocker shafts and adjuster screws are my favourite gripes >:( Back to Stian's amazing achievement - Go get that 8!!! 8) Title: Re: New Norwegian record Post by: richie on May 04, 2009, 17:13:34 pm :o :) Well done Stian,thats some improvement,good luck with it this year

I talked to michael today and he said the run was pretty straight! What about the engine? Title: Re: New Norwegian record Post by: Tekken on May 04, 2009, 20:40:27 pm Hey guys,and thank you for all the kind words!
Would first of all thank my team-Torleif,Anita and my girlfriend Barbro-we had a nice time this weekend.Got an new pb top speed on Saturday.Did a 9.54 with a bad 1.63 on the 60-fot,but did a good 151mph or 243.5km/h.After some work on the chassis we did the 9.18 run on Sunday with a much better 1.32 on the 60-fot, and 5.89 and 119mph or 192km/h half way.The run was really nice and straight.Could hear it started to blow out right at the end of the run,the data logger show the exhaust temp starting to drop on cyl 1 about 1 sec before we crossed the line.The exhaust temp was okay and the same as the other cylinders.It blows out between the cylinder and head,hope it's only the copper gasket.Since some oil came out we're afraid the cylinder maybe be cracked,going to take the engine apart tomorrow. :) Title: Re: New Norwegian record Post by: Nico86 on May 04, 2009, 20:44:53 pm Congrats Tekken ;)
Title: Re: New Norwegian record Post by: ESH on May 04, 2009, 20:45:20 pm Awesome work Stian, the car looks so good on track, have fun with the 8.

Title: Re: New Norwegian record Post by: ESH on May 07, 2009, 13:57:33 pm Running those numbers and doing burnouts like that you're going to be spending a lot more time going backwards than you are forwards. Just wondering, have you thought about cutting those widows out and putting a nice big one in?
:P ;D Title: Re: New Norwegian record Post by: Liou on May 07, 2009, 15:02:47 pm wow it's beauty wheeling et very fast time wow wow !! I love !!!
