How much money to run 10s in a street car?now with part2, The evolution to turbo

[richie]

Got some nitrous jets in the mail today so will be able to tune out the over richness now and see what difference that makes, also moved the seat so as to make it fit me better, will see if it helps at all in 2 weekends time 

cheers Richie

Are you taking much ignition timing out when on the gas? If so what are you using, the fuel injection computer?

Hi Paul

Yes I did take 3 degrees out to be safe, just did it on the map all the way through the last two columns, I can wire it and program the ECU to do it automatically but its another thing that can go wrong so taking it out already is better right now.

by removing it and other stuff and fitting efi

Electronic module inside instead of points that then fires a MSD box would be my best guess

You don't even need to get that complicated, you can trigger the MSD with points (white MSD wire goes to points).  As a bonus, your points will now last forever since there is no power going through them, the MSD only uses them as a ground signal.

Perfect, didn't think of that, sounds right up your street Paul? old school looks still

[Paul Bahnstormerz]

That's pretty much the method I'd come up with, was going to double spring the points to stop them bouncing too.

I did that too, it made the rubbing block snap off.  Granted that was after about 10,000 miles, but it did leave me stranded for a while (the old used points set I had were robbed of their spring so I could double up the new set!)

[K-Roc]

Zebra Stripe points have a stiffer spring. Still available if you search for em

They're old style Rabbit/Golf points.
I have the Bosch part number as 1 237 013 116.

[Paul Bahnstormerz]

Thanks will look into these zebra stripe points

[richie]

Both cars are loaded up ready for a weekend at Santa pod, its the national finals and will be final outing for either car this year so hope weather will be kind and we can get some good runs in both classes, I am running cabrio in Super comp as usual and Nitrous 67 in Super street[ 10.90 index] hoping to run well under index in both cars

It was this meeting in 2003 that I ran my 1st 10s, 10.88 was best so want to beat that at least

There will be a live feed for those who want to watch in, you can access it and all info from here

cheers Richie

[Shane Noone]

Good luck Richie and pedal to the metal! The live feed above + dragweek + a live feed from Kjula this weekend = plenty fun!

[BeetleBug]

It is indeed interesting to watch the live feed. I have NEVER seen anyone polishing, cleaning and checking the track as much as the crew at Santa Pod. After every pair they go out on the track and spray it with cleaner and wipes it off. Impressive indeed!

First pass, crap 60ft, spun the tyres, 10.73 @ 122.5

[leec]

Must be a challenge running 2 cars at 1 event?
See the other car ran an 8.13 

[Jo Clifford]

Second pass bogged off the line, 10.98 @ 120mph, number 1 qualifier - whoops!!

[BeetleBug]

Oh... what happened? High wheelie then hard left.

One interesting thing since I`m looking at both Kjula and Santa Pod. 10 pairs at Santa Pod equals 3-4 pairs at Kjula. We all know that the Swedes are a bit slow... but dam!

Electrical fault we've fixed it ready for tmw

Last pass shook a wire loose, which cut ignition, easy fix, both cars are ready for tomorrow

First run with each car was the only tight one, as Richie was going up the track in the cab they were calling the class for the '67 to the lanes so he drove the cab back & jumped straight into the '67 and actually was the first one in the lanes for that class

[dannyboy]

good stuff guys

Hahaha! Good one. 

[leec]

That's a great way of hot lapping
